Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

Gloomtastic!

So every Photobucket hosted image on Boards has now been masked unless the poster pays a subscription. Grrrrr, what a bummer for the fantastic archive here!

Checking out postimage.com now as it appears tinypic is owned by Photobucket so it's only a matter of time before they adopt the same policy.

I really wish we could post pics directly here.

I've never had any trouble when posting images using www.imgur.com, and I've been using the site for a good few years now.
They did change the interface fairly recently which made it much less apparent how you got to the links you need to use on forums/messageboards; now you have to hover over your image after you upload it and clink on the down arrow that appears to get to the 'get share links' option.

See here:

Slight fiddlyness aside, I find it very stable.

You can. Scroll down to 'manage attachments' and upload your image. Then click on the attachment link, copy the photo link and add the image as normal if you want it to show up as a photo rather than a link.

I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I've used a third party site to post images on Boards.

I can't get tinypic to work from my phone, and it can be hit and miss with the laptop too. Lately I've been using postimages.org, it's more reliable but I haven't tried it with my phone yet.

Edit: postimages.org works perfectly with the phone
This is the M50 burger and fries I had in Eddie Rocket's tonight.

A lot of bun, wheres the burger :eek: chips look great

Sorry. Scroll down where? On the touch (mobile site) there is an Attach Files button but after you've posted you have to click on a link to see the image. Not the same

On the full site. The touch site is rubbish for these kinds of things. You'll have to switch to the full site if you want to do the rest of it.

Day 11 of hospital food yesterday, think it's slowly killing me. Donegal catch with white sauce, mash and carrots cooked so much they were as soft as the mash.

Salad for tea last night where they gave me two sachets of mayo for the dressing.

Going out for dinner today, even if they say no.

There was plenty of burger and fried onions and mushrooms, and Swiss cheese. It was just a quick photo I took to make my daughter jealous and I only used it here to test the upload

Go for it! And enjoy

Change of plan, I'm too tired to go out so going to have a dirty Chinese instead. 4 months travelling around India and of course I get salmonella at the end.

Steak dinner tomorrow, I lost so much weight I'm allowed to eat whatever I want, tis great.

Walking into a butchers yesterday, the cut of me in the flip flops, gimme 4 big fillets please. I move my eyes to tell him to move the knife a bit. Lol. Over he comes, I hand him a 20. Can I have 8 more he says.

Cooked them beautifully. Put in 2 big slices of butter after I turned them. Melted in my mouth. Wowzers.

Served with roast potatoes, and fried mushrooms, onions and crushed garlic.

If my time is up, I'm good to go.

I'll describe it as it was on the menu.

Open Steak Sandwich - Grilled Sirloin steak. Garlic Ciabatta. Baby leaves. Crispy Onions. Served with a freshly tossed leafy salad. It was okay.

pew

I went to Lock 13 in Sallins last night.

I got the steak sandwich on ciabatta with paper sauce, red onion and a creamy mash.

The mash was absolutely beautiful, the steak sandwich wasn't great, very small fatty piece.

Onion and cucumber, mango chutney and popadoms followed by a spicy spicy tofu and chickpea curry with brown rice. Washed down with half a bottle of cheap red

Sounds gorgeous! Do you have a recipe for the spicy tofu?

It was in the chickpea curry, which was spicy, but the tofu itself was just pressed, cubed and fried lightly in butter until starting to brown. Then added to the curry for 20 mins. I didn't marinate it or anything.

The chickpea curry is different every time I make it depending on what ingredients I have and the mood I'm in. Last night was;1 onion, 3 chillis (they were not very spicy ones mind you), 4 cloves of garlic, one lump of ginger (about half a finger length) all blitzed together into mush and fried in butter for a few mins. Then about 1 teaspoon dried chillis, 1 tsp ground coriander, 2 tsp garam masala fried on a low heat. Tipped in the drained can of chickpeas and a tin of tomatoes (if you don't have a tin but have fresh they work too if you finely chop). Then added the fried tofu and simmered about 20 mins.

Really though, it's different every time

Thanks a million, that's a handy base for me to follow!

It was too warm on the weekend to do any big cooking, so I kept it light.

Saturday was spicy vegetable fritters with fired egg and raita



Sunday was chickpea, feta and sundried tomato rolls with potato salad and some ajvar and houmous

arian

Both the rolls and the fitters look good. Had to look up ajvar (again :rolleyes: ).

A mix of anything and everything from the fridge - cherry toms, black olives, raw courgette, baby spinach, basil leaves, roasted peppers, feta cheese, pine nuts, left over chicken and pork from Friday's kebabs, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning. I thought it was lovely, kids struggled a bit!

Great stuff. Perfect for the weather outside. Have you ever added some pesto to it? I'm sure you have.

For me tonight, it's totally against the weather grain. I haven't cooked all weekend, so I went for comfort food. Off work for a couple of days too, so a beer or three. Then Chicken Madras and Basmati rice, because I love my version of it. So simple. It may be a repetitive read from me, but its pure magic on a night off!

We had a stirfry. I used to hate stirfry, then I learned how to do make noodles properly and now I can't get enough of them!

Newbie to this thread but will soon be a regular! Carbonara with chicken tonight!

Surreptitious

It looks nice, would you not use tagliatelle in the Carbonara or do you prefer penne?

I find the penne holds on to the sauce better! Always have a pool at the bottom after tagliatelle

You could be right! It's a satisfying meal though I used to add cheese to mine so maybe it was a bit thicker. It was my own take on it though.
