While you're in Nordy land, maybe call across and get a taste of the mighty drink we call Football Special

The Black Oil

Thought it was unique to Donegal, can you get it in NI, too?

Have ordered the boards t-shirt.

I admire your love of Chorizo - that's one tasty food stuff right there!

If you're overloading it try to get the fillings to one side so that you have a light side to flip over

I'm also glad to see another omlette flipper on the thread. Take that Pem!! :pac:

Have you ever cooked your scrambled eggs in the oil of panfried chorizo? YUM

Chickpeas Hermoine! I grew them!
Well, when I say I grew them- I had a plant that didnt like Ireland very much. It did produce about 12 chickpeas though. They were AMAZING :cool:

You are my new favourite person! That's an amazing achievement :pac:

You sould really try your best to make it! I am not just saying this because myself and galvasean are running it - but it is for an amazing cause!

I know, but I will still donate to the cause somehow if I can't make it

I haven't....I'd imagine it'd be unreal but not sure about Chorizo for breakfast....don't knock it 'til you've tried it I guess though!

I would tend to have it whenever I was having a later breakfast, say, at weekends. It’s no different to having any other sausage for breakfast. It’s amazing after a late night! Especially with a side of slow roasted cherry tomatoes.

€1 on a bottle of wine in the Budget. Sadfaces

Yeah, I was saying to call over to Donegal since already up the north part of Ireland.

The Black Oil

Good stuff.

What sort of chorizo do y'all go far, pre-sliced or the sausage? Managed to find some in Canada when I was there - made for a good camping meal. :pac:

KamiKazeKitten

Dunno can I make it on the 28th either, possibly be stuck in the shticks!

Who doesn't flip an omelette?!

I dont, I put extra cheese on it and put it under a grill to finish cooking and let the cheese melt through

Omlettes and dogs goolies.. not something I would consider mentioning in the same sentence, especially if you're trying to convince peeps of how good a new recipe is.. :pac:

Going to try this Rick Stein recipe in the next week or two, hopefully.

We should have a cooking/bake off. :pac:

I know, I was dubious too until I tried one. Its one of those things that sounds so wrong but is definitely worth a go.
I'll make you one someday and convert you!!

I'm a bit disturbed that I just said "delish"...that seems wrong...

For some reason I've watched every single bit of budget coverage today yet I have not listened to one word.

It look savage Black. I may try it.

I.love cinnamon and nutmeg and have one or both in my porridge.

Anyone here ever try TRX training? Friend of mine swears by it!

I may get the kit for xmas - or more than likely after xmas when I have more disposable income!

Yup - there's a number of very good trx moves for core work - came across them when researching pilates & core workout exercises before hitting the gym.

I wouldn't know much about how well it works for upper body etc. but I'd imagine for core and toning it's fairly good.

I'm doing trx & kettlebell classes
I have no idea what a home kit would be like, you rest all your weight on the trx straps, so you'd need something sturdy holding them. Our place has a really heavy duty pole fixed into the walls for it
Love doing it, it's great for arms etc
we do a lot of these

and pushups

I also. They’re supposed to be very good for the tum and digestion, which is a nice bonus!

I really want to try TRX. It sounds like a more hardcore Pilates.

I’m going to see Bruce Springsteen in Thomond Park next summer! SO EXCITED. Also going to see him in Cork. Which is less exciting, but still awesome. ALL THE EXCITEMENT \0/

Pembily

I don't think I would like the trx. Not a fan of straps, I would get all caught up in them and tangeled and ultimately fall
