That's my Christmas drink. Hope you enjoyed!

It was very nice, Brandy gives it a kick and almost offsets the sweetness of the Bailey's.

Mine too but just Baileys with ice. I might try it with brandy, sounds lovely and would give it a nice kick.

Are you a chef Alexandajo? Your meals and aperitifs always sound lovely!

Il craving everything and nothing today.

Thank you, and yes I am a chef, going on 10 years now. A few others here have posted meals I have on my list to try myself.

Lamb chops with roasted parsnips and mushrooms, and followed by a glass of wine.

Made a Thai red curry Tuesday and made enough for 2 dinners for the three of us but Mr. mouth almighty, teenage mutant, deep voice, fall sleep on the couch and wake up starvin' raided it for a second lash late Tuesday night. You wouldn't mind but he only gave it an 8 out of 10 overall because "the second lash was out of the microwave."

Herself decided to make the most of the leftovers by making curry pastries and for the first time ever doing homemade fried rice today. What a result, savage flavours, very filling and we probably would never have had it only for the teenage terror and his late night hunger pangs. In future now there will be a double lash of curry made.

Chefs are notorious for having bad diets due to the long working hours. You'd be so wrecked after 11 straight hours, you'd eat anything.
Not saying everyone is like that, like A (brandy guy) seems to eat well.
I still love cooking though but don't have enough people to cook for, I like having visitors so I can treat them

You're me all over. I only worked as a chef briefly and I use the title chef loosely. I was allowed peel and plate. I remember being on potato duty for about 6 hours and my hands were bleeding from nicking them with the knife. Head chef comes in and sees my bloody hands..immediately he looks at the bucket of potatoes and kicks it over cos blood had discoloured the skin. He screamed at me to start over. SHUDDER.
I quit after 6 weeks and I wanted it more than anything but the environment destroyed my passion. I live alone now too since recently as a few of you guys know (jeez I'm welling up..damn hormones) and I'm finding myself eating terribly!
I love food but feel like what's the point when it's just me (and bean) I might as well live the dream and eat frozen waffles...seriously..I'm eating out of the bin almost at the moment! Sorry for the tangent. Point was..I'm hungry:)

That potato work is a kitchen porter job tbh. I never had to do stuff like that, i trained in Fine Dining, it wasn't easy but at least the food was of good quality.
I think you should eat what you like (as long as it's safe). Nothing wrong with waffles especially if you are tired. You could batch cook on your days off and freeze as well. It is important to get nutrients in as well though. Beans and frozen veg be ok sometimes and fruit is easy to eat.
Hope you feel better

Edit, it sounds like the head chef was trying to make you toughen up and make it hard for you. I had that at times as well but in different ways, had to juice 200 lemons once with a small juicer. I don't know was he just taking the piss?

The head chef was a renowned asshole. I think he was trying to toughen me up but he was also statistically enjoying seeing me suffer.
He wouldn't even tell me what rate of pay I was on. When I asked he said you'll find out on payday. Just an absolute prick! Great chef though.

just polished off a streaky rasher sangwich and a giant mug of tae.

Gonna try that one pan egg sandwich, will report back.

Ravioli with garlic, spinach, peas, fine beans in a lemon cream sauce. Its gorgeous. Next time I'd add crushed walnuts or pistachios.

Haha...I tried to post a picture of it but it kept saying image too big even though its just a small photo and I kept trying and must have posted multiple times by mistake:)
And yes I did really enjoy it:p

Pan fried Sea Bass with lemon garlic herb sauce paired with a bean shoot salad. And a nice glass of Pinot Grigio. I'm being very fancy this evening.

branie2

Glass of vino, red.

Call me a dirty bastard but I had a new Mcdonalds curry pot noodle for lunch. Jesus it was addicting stuff.
Eating It reminded me of the old pot noodle ad where the guy pays the prostitute to eat a Pot noodle in an alleyway with him, "Slag of all snacks" it was that good dirty feeling:D:D:D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_6GGDhHzKI

Has anyone tried the new curry sauce Paul McGrath is advertising ? I had a moment of weakness in the supermarket earlier and almost bought a bottle. Then I came to my senses.

Can only use McDonnells here because the mini's don't like spicy sauce. McDonnells is a bit more on the sweet side & it's not too hot so we just stick to that for now.

I'd love a nice 'grown up' curry though

Sweet and sour pork with boiled rice and prawn crackers

It's fabulous isn't it? I make mine like yours with carrots, but my nana is an absolute purist and insists orange carrots don't go into a white coddle

SineadSpears

That coddle looks the business Gregor.
I add a handful of frozen swede(it's turnip to me, but the bag says swede) to mine too

Old El Paso BBQ Fajitas. Very nice.

I fully respect where she’s coming from, but I feel the carrots just enhance the white. I noticed all the recipes online call for the sausages and rashers to be browned first. Blasphemy!

Indeed!
Eww. Stick to what you know.
I think it would look too sad without carrots. In fact, I would have triple that amount of carrot on my plate

SineadSpears

Do you use a soup packet in your coddle? I'm not brave enough to make a coddle with a broth type soup, so I use a soup packet.

I wouldn't use those soup packets for a bowl of soup, i don't like them. But I use one in a coddle.
& I strain the dried veg out before adding the soup to the coddle
