Slowcooker salsa chicken with cous cous and a cold bottle of Erdinger.

Grandeeod

Fried bread with a fried egg on top. Scoop of beans on the side. OJ.

Porridge, honey and blueberries. I would ashamed to admit the amount of food I ate yesterday including a 16inch ( shared) last night. Not as exciting as it sounds lol.

Mystery Egg

I cannot stop eating today. Just ate a huge ham, egg salad sandwich, a banana pecan choc chip muffin, a big handful of peanuts and a glass of milk.

Swampy

Just had a protein shake with a huge spoon of peanut butter, banana and some oats. Soon I will be eating fried black pudding with fried eggs, toast and YR sauce.

Coffee and Tiramisu because I couldn't wait until after dinner to have it :P

A hot roast beef sandwich. I'm just checking it😋

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

Couple of rib eyes, some Mexican fried rice y tortillas, limes y salsa. Orale!

Grandeeod

Roast beef with gravy. Served up with potato gratin, garlic spuds and garden peas. Girls loved it. The beef sandwich from earlier is still protecting me so I'll indulge later after the football and some more beers. Its taken me over three hours to have three cans.:eek:

Whole grain brown toast spread with half an inch of Kerrygold and lemon curd with a mug of tea. I am a creature of habit.

Forgot I had a pic of yesterdays dinner. I did the beef for 4 hours so the knife could simply slide through it. Garden peas, potato gratin and garlic spuds on the side. Optional gravy.



I had similar for lunch today, while Ms G has had the last of the beef with mash and gravy. Mrs G opted for a batch cooked chili over spicy wedges and topped with cheese. Therefore I'm treating myself to a bog standard takeaway of chicken curry, rice and chips. The cook needs an odd break.:D

Sirloin steak with the homemade egg fried rice, the fried rice tastes better every time we have it, wouldn't even need meat with it. Had the good old fizzy vitamin drink with it and having a nice cupán tae now.

That looks divine. I had beef chilli i made yesterday. Bloody hot and spicy with some rice and a bowl of broccoli on the side.

Yo Grandeeod. That plate looks delicious. Drink'n coffee now.

Lockdown chicken drumsticks and chestnut mushrooms dipped in the same coating and deep fried too and shur while I was at it and the oil was hot I deep fried some left over baby potatoes as well. A bit of salad on the plate then to ease the guilt and add a bit of colour.

All washed down with a cold Canadian Molson and then a tiny packet of very fizzy Love Hearts that could well have been out of date for dessert.

Smirnoff and cranberry juice now with crushed ice because why not.

As a personal example and based on my last pic, it took a prep of 30 mins. I preheated the oven, wrapped the beef in foil and boiled some peas while the oven heated. Took the peas off the ring after 15 mins and popped the beef in the oven on high for an hour. Reduced the heat to very low and left it in for another 3 hours. Took it out and let it rest after that. Then popped the oven to 200 and when it got there put the Supervalu trays of gratin and garlic spuds in for 25 odd mins. Sliced the beef while the trays were in. Once the trays of spuds were done made Bisto gravy and served it up after microwaving the peas for 90 seconds.

So I only really cooked beef and peas and sat on my arse for hours during the process. I suppose its about organisation, timing and routine. Took me my teen years to learn it as I cooked a lot of Sunday dinners because my parents worked a lot of Sundays. The experience just stuck with me. However it took me years and years to get a beef joint right. Cook books before youtube and google.:D

I woke late today and skipped breakfast (coffee on the go)
After a trip to lidl it feels like i have been snacking all afternoon, had a roll with smoked ham lettuce mayo tomato followed shortly after with a tuna roll with loadsa utterly butterly.
Just finished a ribeye and king prawn all from lidl with the last of the mushy peas from last night. Mushy peas are really underrated it was a while since i picked them up

Mushy peas are seriously underrated. Not sure if you had the Lidl brand, but I prefer Aldi. Really mushy.

I would happily follow that coffee, crusty bread rolls and surf and turf diet for a weeks on end, it's right up my street.

Mushy peas for me have one position to occupy in this world and that is on the side of the plate with chips. It can be anything else joining the chips and the mushy peas but usually it's fish or meat and the more the merrier.

I don't know how it happens that people feel strongly about not mixing two certain types of food together but I do know some other people who feel exactly the same as myself when it comes to mushy peas, they should only be served with chips and of course other people look at you as if to say "WTF, a pea is a pea?"

Pizza on pineapple is another big No! No! for me.

If I was on death row and someone gave me mushy peas with mash or pizza with pineapple on top as my last meal I would die hungry and angry.

I'd be raging actually at the injustice of it all, a hungry innocent man.

Unbelievable. Just had carrot and coriander soup with a cheese sandwich!

Huge fan of mushy peas here especially the Aldi ones, also love pineapple on pizza. Jealous of the beef meals, I've never cooked edible beef and my gang love it.
Bit of everything here today but no actual meal, brekkie biscuits, an apple and banana in work, a few Roses during the afternoon and brown bread (the Aldi Atlantic brown is absolutely gorgeous) cherry tomatoes, coleslaw and red onions for my tea, I was just too tired to cook this evening, pizza and Aldi wedges for the others.

Mash Direct potato croquettes and Heinz beans with loads of hot sauce. Such comfort food.

I'll eat mushy peas with mash, chips and roasties. Love them mixed through mash especially. I'm a mixer eater and try to balance loads on the fork.:D Now as for pizza and pineapple, well I don't really eat pizza and never touch pineapple so I can't see the appeal either. That said I've seen some fooking mad toppings on pizzas that actually made me feel ill. Not good after a rake of pints. I'd have to say, sorry lads I'm gonna sit over there with my quarter pounder with cheese and chips. Can't be looking at that.:D

Bacon and cabbage with mash tonight. Got a slab of Canadian in Aldi today for under 20 quid. I may sample a few.

Grandeeod

Added a splash of Bisto to my bacon and cabbage dinner and broke out the first mince pie of the season for dessert. Way earlier than usual.:D

Thinly sliced fillet of venison stir fried with a bag of frozen asian style veg and a couple of sachets of black bean sauce thrown in near the end. It was awesome.

A Daim bar and a couple of cold Canadian Molson now, very enjoyable and under 80 cent a pint.

I'm having an Irish latte and a doughnut I got today. It smells like alcohol but there isn't any in it. Nice taste off it.

Fried egg on toast and a hot coffee. Sitting in front of the fire, which I've lit because it's freeeeeeezing.

Was salmon potato kale and mushroom today.

I went to the fish monger in Dunnes today and asked for a cut around the size of 3 darnes from the side of salmon thinking it was done in weight/per kg like the rest of the section, to my suprise after she cut it i am then talked into buying the whole side as thats the only way it is sold (facepalm) I really should have just left, but looks like salmon for the weekend
