Have you ever done the triple cook method RG? I was a fooker for it when I had a deep fat fryer.

Nah, always a soak in cold water to remove the starch, pat them dry on a tea towel and away for slates. Bought a double deep fat fryer about 6 months ago and it's great to have one side exclusively for the chips. Clean oil is the key to good chips I reckon.

Was writing a post earlier and the electricity went, panic stations as we have a load of eggs in an incubator that are due to hatch, thanks be to God it came back on in minutes. Still nothing hatched but the wife reckons she heard a couple of them pecking at the inside of their shell today. Fingers crossed we will have new life soon.

Anyway, nice one for the bread recipe S1ippy have no yeast or buttermilk but will give it a crack when I get them.

Baked cod in batter with chips, peas and a snaky fried egg this evening and a nice glass of red. Had a popcorn chocolate ice cream for dessert.

Got a delivery of uisce beatha during the week so might have one mojito.

Sure I wasn't too far from it either Mam. Town was very quiet this evening. I guess he's a Mizzonis man so! Their Taco Fries are great, but for me its only after a feed of pints and then the Taxi rank. Seldom, but still missed.:D

The Chef is making ratatouille. I have some leftover roast sweet potatoes and black eye beans. Going to be random late dinner!

Having a McGargles IPA for now.

If he's off form or having a bad day , Mizzonis = the ultimate comfort food to lift the spirits, though he'd only get it every 6-8 weeks or so . Taco Fries are a fecking huge portion , nice little treat !

What would you recommend from Lams G ?
I've only eaten from there once

The yeast is not crucial, I just put it in to supplement the bicarbonate of soda because I only had two teaspoons of that left

For buttermilk Google tells me "For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk".

Gonna definitely have more popcorn from the hob later, this was class earlier in the week and it's actually not that unhealthy :pac:


As for drinks tonight, gin and lime with sparkling water currently. Had apple brandy earlier, it was quality.

S1ppy I love the way the cat is looking into the bowl of popcorn

I'd recommend everything Mam. A great bunch in there. My first time since January today. Phoned it in. Screens are up. A little hatch for the tap and a bigger drop down hatch for the grub. Missing the trips to Chequers. Delighted that himself got the comfort food to lift the spirits. Sometimes it is needed.

Excellent, will try it sometime in the next few weeks !
Ah , Chequers, it'll be nice to go there , whenever !
Aye , it was an odd day where he couldn't pinpoint what was "off" tbh , probably a lack of carbs :pac:

Had a drunken craving for kinder bueno so we made something resembling them in DIY form. Featuring marshmallows as well.

Rows Grower

Fruit salad of plums, apples, bananas, blueberries and oranges with a squeeze of lemon juice.

It's for after dinner but invoked the chefs privilege and had a small bowl before sealing it and hiding it in the bottom of the fridge before mouth almighty wakes after his late night session of gaming and finishes the lot.

I actually had the same sort of night (restarted Elder Scrolls last week) and ended up getting hammered and only woke up in the last while. Have to deal with shopping and dropping stuff to relatives so needed a hearty breakfast and having been inspired by this thread, a French toast sandwich was on the cards. It did not disappoint. It was so heavy that I probably will have to wait ten years before making one again. Or eating anything

Grandeeod

Woke up early this morning and just knew it was gonna be a hungry day. Corn flakes, a bacon toastie and OJ for breakfast. Just had a sloppy cheese burger and chunky chips with a Club Orange Zero for lunch.

Thanks for that, appreciate it.

T'was indeed black pudding from M&S, really tasty. I fried potatoes in butter with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
The Mexican mess was unreal - garlic, chilli, avacado, jack cheese, cheddar, parmesan, tons of spices, baked eggs and lashings of 'triple trouble' hot sauce that blew the head of me! Epic!

Rows Grower

Had a small audience watching me prep the curry today, two hatched this morning and one in particular is very alert and inquisitive for a creature only ten hours old.

Stir fried beef and mixed veg, simmered in coconut milk and then sweet chilli noodles and a jalfezi sauce and spice added for the home straight of a simmer. Will have prawn crackers and rice with it.

Fish fingers, chips and onion rings

Fruit salad and ice cream for dessert

Mam of 4

A fish finger sandwich , with black pepper!

I'm addicted to the rainbow cherry tomatoes at the moment so fresh brennan's slice pan,tomatoes, red onion, loads of salt and butter, a bottle of Italian red wine (in fairness I've been very good all week except Thursday), Rockshore in the fridge as a back up....someone just arrived in with takeaway, might start picking at the chips just to be annoying.

Re. the fruit salad, what do ye use for the juice or is it just fruit?

Autosport

I don’t put any juice on the fruit as the fruit has enough juice

Beef in the oven on a slow cook.

Exact same here, roasties, boiled baby potatoes, peas and carrots with gravy will be served with it.

Starving thinking about it, just had a glass of chilled white wine outside in the sun listening to the birds and cleaning my rifles.

Roast potatoes refused to cooperate with the schedule, we over came that obstacle and shall fry them in the morning instead...

The wife roasted chicken oyster thighs with peppers, mushrooms and garlic and then added two sachets of stir fry spring onion and oyster sauce for a bit of soakage.

Jaysus lads where would ya be going like?

A bag of boiled rice, a few frozen chips and glass or two of white wine, a few milk chocolate butter biscuits out of the fridge then to finish it off.

Might have a snaky drop of Green Spot there now to round it all off.

A tin of spaghetti hoops on toast. Ultimate comfort food,

Very similar here, Mashed potatoes, mixed frozen veg,pork chops and my own parsley sauce.

Jelly and ice cream for dessert, heated Aldi 'Mr. Kipling's ' apple cakes and ice cream for the jelly haters.
A fast easy dinner but very tasty.

Hippykitten

My second cup of coffee (and second chocolate hobnob ... shush!!!)

It was nearly too hot for eating here this evening and I was tired after working outside all day so I just had 3 of those skinny chilli steaks you get in Lidl with some homemade chips and peas. Just about managed an almond choc ice for dessert, still fierce warm here.

Raided the drinks cabinet collection again and happened upon this Hungarian beauty, tastes like a distant healthy relation of Jagermeister.

Supposed to be very healthy for ya too.

Grandeeod

Warming up by the cooling charcoal of the BBQ with a Hop House 13. A long day! Just finished a steak sandwich with onion, slaw, potato salad and spicy wedges. Not a chance of a photo as I couldn't give a feck where any device is right now!

Slainte!

Two honey and mustard and two black pepper and spring onion sausages with mash, gravy, peas and an ice cold can of Bulmers.

Today’s meal was scrambled egg and beans and dessert is a mint cornetto washed down with a can of club orange

Mam of 4

Instead of a BLT sandwich , I made a toasted wrap with chopped up crispy bacon , onion, tomato and lettuce with mayonnaise

Hippykitten

I'm staying true to form - chocolate cake & coffee

Pitta with grated cheese, cherry tomatoes, loads of red onion and coleslaw.

fussyonion

Sweet and sour chicken with rice.
Instead of just using plain diced chicken fillet, I dipped each chunk into beaten egg, then breadcrumbs, before frying and adding the sweet and sour sauce.
Made a big difference, texture-wise, and it was very nice.

Having a Jaffa Cake now.

Popcorn chicken is a good cheat fussy.

Milled a big bowl of cottage pie with mushy peas and extra gravy with two slices of bread and butter.
