    Grandeeod, no idea how you manage takeaways while cooking, ifnmy 6 year old senses any type of takeaway he'd down tools on dinner and not let me away with it!

    Ah its easy. Believe it or not they prefer my cooking/food to takeaways. Ms G has no interest in Chinese takeaway or chipper food. Doesn't like the burgers or sausages or chicken Goujons they serve. Don't blame her.:D That said Mrs G will partake.:D The only takeaway they really like is a pizza because my alternative is a frozen Goodfellas job.:D We never did the takeaway thing to any great degree anyway.

    I'm certainly no health freak, but I always liked to do better versions of fast food at home by buying decent ingredients and I guess they got spoiled by it. The Air Fryer has been a great addition over the last year too. I'm going through a phase of being sick of cooking so a Chinese takeaway after a few scoops suits me now and again. I've had around 10 in the last 6 months. Hoping to get my mojo back soon!

    I cheated tbh igCorcaigh , local butcher sells it already sliced and ready to go into the oven . Which is really handy as you can get as many or as little as you like .
    It was gorgeous , crisp pastry tender beef .

    I have never cooked edible beef ,its a shame because my gang love it.

    Not hungry at all today so just picking at things out of boredom. I might make a bowl of porridge later with strawberries as I have a mind for that , the gang just got a chipper takeaway and I didn't even have one chip, that's a first for me.

    Sunday special, (counting down the days until the beef becomes venison again).

    Beef is easy DD. Low and slow. In a bag for the inexperienced and your butcher will help. Wrapped in foil works a treat too. I learned to cook it because my mother couldn't cook it.:eek:

    Looks great RG. I have a nice slab in the freezer. I'll surprise the house with it at some point.

    Received a few stalks of rhubarb from the father in law's garden, so stewed that and made a vanilla custard. That is being washed down by a bottle of red. Lovely lazy Sunday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Roast beef, carrots and pease with mashed potatoes and gravy :)

    Mint cornetto for dessert :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,384 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    The striploins were small so I got two, the gratin potatoes were melt in the mouth and full of flavour. Nice glass of red with it.

    Some fancy dark chocolate to finish it off, herself didn't have any wine as she has to drive in the morning so I'll probably have to finish it myself. She's a keeper.

    I'm happy with the size of my Striploin this evening. A few minutes ago it was served with mushrooms, spicy wedges and Franks sauce. All gone now.

    mmmmm.

    I roasted a chicken yesterday so today I had leftover carnivore dinner -

    torn strips of chicken lightly fried in sesamae seed oil with McDonnel spicy bag spices shaken over it, chilis and raw onions and salt lightly fried in! Delicious! Not too healthy but yum.

    I had one of those old fashioned pink & white bars of nougat as desert/starter. Feeling good!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 412 ✭✭Alejandro68


    Baked Salmon,peas,and cornbread.And now having a gin and tonic!

    I did a roast chicken a few days ago with roast spuds and trimmings. As usual I love it because for lunch the nest day I always have the legs/thighs with chips and leftover gravy. Basic but memorable. The old chicken and chips days!

    Steak, mixed veg and fried rice for dinner


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,384 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    Roast chicken with honey and mustard, gravy from same over boiled baby potatoes and some of the gratin potatoes from yesterday all served with the obligatory peas.

    Plenty boiled baby potatoes left over to be re cooked tomorrow, frozen orange Kit Kat for dessert with a glass of red wine.

    Jesus Christ, will we ever again see the days where we had a few pints in the pub after work before the dinner? Or the the few pints at the weekend?

    I really miss those days but it must be an awful lot harder for the older lads I know that have no family and no idea what the internet is, we live in hope.

    I miss the few pints on a Sunday evening before the dinner. I'd usually serve up the ladies and have mine on the return, bit of telly or internet and then the leaba.

    Also miss the early Friday few pints with Mrs G and then home with a Chinese takeaway.

    Tonight is a nervy night in the G house as its a school restart in the morning. Mrs G roasted a chicken crown with spuds earlier for herself and Ms G. They had beans with it. Don't ask.:eek: I did a Phil Hogan by stopping in Kildare earlier just off the M7 and grabbed a nice dish from a fave Chinese takeaway. I'll resign tomorrow.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,219 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod


    Got Ms G out to her first day in Secondary school. Then me and Mrs G came home for our first "just the two of us" breakfast in nearly 6 months. Honey and Mustard sausages, rashers, white pudding and baked beans. I had no mushrooms or eggs in stock, but it was tasty.

    IMG-20200828-103503.jpg

    Picked Ms G up at 1pm and she begged for a Burger King which she hadn't had since the start of July as we passed our local one. A couple of hours later it was a Chicken Royale meal, a Whopper meal and a Hamburger meal. Officially our first fast food sit down thing since March. Ms G was delighted with herself. I'm stuffed. Having an early beer as I have to drive a distance tomorrow and I reckon the leftovers from my takeaway last night will also be consumed later!

    Had Crispy Chicken Wings in Franks and Blue Cheese dip today. Have a rake of cans in the fridge and me aul pal dropping in. Happy Friday!!

    Cod, some deep fried halved baby potatoes, grated cheese, gravy, a fried egg and peas with a cold can of Bulmers.

    Second cold Bulmers now with a packet of Cadbury chocolate fingers out of the freezer which will not last long.

    Had a bowl of stew that I cooked yesterday. Delicious.
    Now having an impromptu glass of wine (spur of the moment purchase on the way home earlier) with some Pringles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,384 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    Prep of burgers done, mince, red onion, an egg, a few crushed cream crackers, salt, white pepper, black pepper, chinese 5 spice, honey and mustard dressing all mixed together. Topped with olive oil and into the fridge now for 2 hours.

    About to have chicken stew , well sort of stew made up from the cooked chicken :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,384 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    Homemade cheeseburger in a brioche bun with salad, coleslaw, some oven chips and a cold Bulmers. A doddle of a dinner once the burgers were made, just throw them and the chips in the oven at the same time and sip a nice aperitif. Note the extra snaky slice of cheddar on my burger that herself didn't cop.

    The young lad is gone to his friends house with a few Bulmers and the big Kahuna burger will be served to him when he gets back so he doesn't have a hangover from his 3 cans and he'll be able to cut the grass tomorrow morning.

    Stocked up in Dealz myself today. Fry's, Fry's and all kinds! No traditional dinner here today. Ms G had a homemade bunburger and fries. Mrs G had a baguette with tuna and egg mayo. I made a beef stirfry and rice. I took a piece of beef out of the freezer for tomorrow. The additions are all set to go. Chilling with a beer now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,384 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    That shagging Dealz has a lot to answer for, the young lad was in there last week and besides other stuff he picked up some Biscoff spread that has turned him into a late night toast monster and myself and his mother into breadless midweek breakfasters which is rather inconvenient when our workday breakfast is a boiled egg and toast.

    He's growing mad in fairness, he'll be towering over the teachers when he goes back next week, big beard on him too.

    We're gone mad for the frys from Dealz also, we've tried them all but I'm just buying the original and orange ones now, I also like the raspberry ones but prefer the other two.
    I've eaten a complete mix of food today, overdid it big time last night so feeding the hangover all day and still feel awful.

    A lovely piece of eye of the round beef cooked low and slow. The knife just glided through it with ease. No need for an electric carving knife with this baby! Creamy mash, stuffing, mushy peas and beef gravy on the side.

    Warm scone out of the oven with homemade blackberry jam.

    Used to love going "blacka" picking with my parents when I was young. They turned them into jam, but with no pectin or sugar, so it was a thin, quite tart jam. Lovely.

    Just soak them first, all the little buggy things float to the top!

    No pectin used here, sugar alright 1-3 by weight of blacka's and a bit of lemon juice.
