On the road tomorrow GH so taking it handy. Bought a case of 20 bottles for 17 quid in Supervalu a while back. Ice cold from the fridge and by the neck. I'm old enough to remember when it was a trendy long neck and then appeared on draught.:eek: It's ordinary and easy though.:D

That's 85 cents for a refreshing bottle of cold beer that would cost about a fiver in a pub.

Where would ya be going without a bell on your bike?

Gotta admit RG, the pub is looking very unappealing to me in the medium term. I was a twice a week chap and every second/third week the missus joined me. We don't miss it at all. We've had great nights in over the last few months with great grub too. Our local opens tomorrow for food and drink. We won't be anywhere near it.

Another bottle.:D

Same as that Grand, we've no notion to be rushing back to the pub, f$%k it with all these rules and regulations it's going to ruin the whole experience, we're as well off at home

Same here, I used to usually stop for a pint after work but would be home for my dinner at 6 without fail and never go back out again in the evening so the lock down hasn't really changed our routine.

I missed the chat with my friends more than the pint but the last week or so I've called to a few of their houses now that things have become a bit safer. It's a better quality chat than you could have in the pub.

We have gotten more into the home cooking than we ever were and surprised ourselves with what we can do when we have the time.

I think the pubs and restaurants are after peaking in Ireland and will have to either adapt quickly to the new circumstances or die a slow death.

Some of them were losing the run of themselves anyway so it's no harm to soften their cough.

You've hit the nail on the head there RG, that's what we've missed also, and I don't think it will go back to that for months yet unfortunately

It’s only some flavours so make sure to check the prices

Pork chops, I just rubbed smoked paprika on them, green beans with tomato salsa and lentils.



Added fried onions and garlic in the oil.

The tomato salsa was from lidl, just like 90c or so. Worth it for a thing to add.

Grandeeod

Pan frying a nice bit of Sirloin to be served with sauteed mushrooms, szechuan sauce and chips.

A couple of McGargles IPA and some green right now, before I might do a repeat of yesterday's pork chop with green beans and tomato salsa.

I thought it was a nice quick combo.

I salute the McGargles choice. As a lager drinker, their Franks lager is a nice sup. A repeat of a great dinner is always good. I do it regularly.

Went out for dinner this evening and it was so nice to be served my dinner and no washing up to do afterwards Cod and mashed potatoes and chocolate brownie and ice cream for dessert

Beef in Garlic and Chilli, Fried Rice and Chips. Two large bottles of Erdinger. Tuesday nights may have returned to a new normal for some, but I'll enjoy this particular normal for now. Totally unplanned. I was gonna have a toasted special with chips and blackcurrent. Oh well!

Cheapo Aldi beers as it's a poor Wednesday night when I used to be able to afford a few pints with friends in the local. Wednesday night beers! Thankfully the local isn't open so I'm not embarrassed.:eek:

Having a Catch Bar. The bar that used to be made in Ireland and according to the wrapper is now made in Trinidad and Tobago under license from a company in Dublin. Oh well.

I don't think anyone in Ireland was ever handed one of those bars back in the late 70's.

Fish chips and mushy peas here for dinner. Was treated to a ferrero rocher donut from offbeat by herself, was delicious.

This time with style

Was shopping this evening and it would have been too late to start cooking by the time I got home so picked up an Italian chipper on the way home. I had a cheeseburger and chips and ate it way too fast like I usually do. Very tasty though.

Deep fried chips and a stir fry from Mulhalls. Can't find a drool emoji! I was in there today and didn't see it or maybe didn't look. I was grabbing 3 sausage rolls for Mrs G and a bag of sausages and chips for me off the great deli counter. We sat at the back of All Books on a low wall having an outdoor picnic. We fed the scraps to the crows and got a dirty look from an eejit not far from us. She looked like a member of the Green Party.:D Its a decent oul town in the sun!

They have always had really tasty food.
Haven't been in town since C19 kicked off, so due a visit.

About to have an ice cold Pepsi max, over salted my cooking earlier and very thirsty now.

Lamb chops with carrots, courgette and potatoes roasted in the oven. Nearly ready now.

Grandeeod

Mashed spuds, mushy peas, croquettes and roast loin of pork. A splash of gravy on top. Absolutely delicious.

Having a few beers after that.

Rows Grower

Chips, cheese, peppercorn sauce, baby mushrooms and a steak medallion with crusty buttered bread.

There was a lot of driving done and a lot of thought went into this meal since the scrambled eggs at 8 this morning.

Chunky Kit Kat out of the freezer for dessert.

Big batch curry bubbling away. It'll be a while reducing yet. I'll get around 12 or 13 dinners out of it.

My diet has gone to sh1t since the lockdown. Weight piling on.

Microwaved chicken biryani from Lidl earlier and now a few beers from Aldi.

I'll be back on the fish and salads soon. Promise.

I've flattened the curve a little over the last couple of weeks.

Still eating like a Lord, just burning off more of the calories and being a tad more careful now with desserts.

Jaysus the last four months I was eating and drinking like a man on death row that was working unsupervised in the prison kitchen.

Sipping a blackcurrant flavored vodka now with crushed ice, all about the discipline.

Stay strong, stay safe.
