Looking at the mange tout in Row's dinner reminds me of something.

One of my sisters and myself were bringing my niece and nephew out for food, I said I would order but she was like no, I will do it.

She ordered gun johns for the kids and some curry and mangey tooth for herself.
She never lived it down, it went on for years the slagging. Hehe

Raspberry and apple Danish courtesy of Aldi. It was the size of a saucer!

Seared venison, red, green and yellow peppers, chestnut and baby mushrooms, garlic, ginger, carrot, red onion, beef stock and a glug of red wine cooking away in the oven covered in tinfoil. Probably do a bit of mash with it. I'm starving thinking about it.

Rows Grower

Didn't bother with the mash afterwards, went old school.

Sorry RG but I'd have to get a few spuds into me with that and the bread!

Basic night here. A chicken fillet bun burger and fries for Ms G and a steak bun burger and fries for Mrs G.The great thing is both can be cooked in the oven on the same time, 30 odd minutes. Aldi was good to us today. Apart from the fab Danish pastries earlier, mini cheese cake tubs were consumed by the girls for dessert. Mine still awaits for after my din dins. As for my meal, I'm trying out this new "Chicken with Attitude" brand. Got a bag of their spicy Goujons today and I will have a few of them with fries and the new Chef chip shop curry sauce from a bottle. God bless Paul McGrath.:D It's really good stuff and very handy.

It's Monday. Not up early for work as not much exists, but up to get the online classes started with Ms G. So yep, I'm having a Rockshore or two for the craic.

His autobiography "Back from the brink" was the best book I ever read in my life.

Keep it up Bassy and keep posting those meals. Feckin hell loads of us should be trying them. Believe it or not my fave low cal meal back in the day was ham, mash and cabbage. I was working on the Weight Watchers points plan and that particular one was a winner for me as I was really full after it. Oh and Bovril is great, but I think you already know that.:D

A sad read in lots of parts, particularly the orphanage. Great to see him getting to be the face of a simple product that is my kinda sauce. I was in Dalymount the night he made his Ireland debut. Mad scenes against the Italians.:D An absolute legend. Keeping OT, another slug of Rockshore.:D

fella told me to keep potatos out of your diet,now im no expert in all this diet stuff and he said watch the sauces to particuraly the spicey or hot sauces.

im no expert at all,so would like views or opinion from any one who would know a lot more than me on what stuff to really avoid.

ah the bovril not had any today,actually forgot about it till you mentioned it

Its all very simple Bassy. Eat less calories and exercise. Avoid full fat dairy, sweets and takeaway. Spuds are harmless and whoever said that to you is on a zero carbs buzz. Keep the rice along with the spuds but in moderation. Reduce the portion sizes. But I do agree that sauces can be dubious. I learned how to enjoy dinners without them. I stuck rigidly to the diet and after a couple of months I could enjoy a carvery dinner once a week with an apple tart and cream dessert without any guilt or effect.

I was 17 stone and got down to 13 stone in 9 months. But I was using the then Weight Watchers programme without buying their crap food. Count the calories and exercise at least 5 days a week. If you want to enjoy a beer at the weekend count it into the calorie intake.

My dad did several stints in St. Pat's over the years battling the booze and at one stage was on the same ward as ooh ah Paul McGrath..said ooh ah Paul MaGrath (sorry, I couldn't resist!). He said he was a gentleman and very warm and open. He sat in a circle and bared his soul with all the other men and didn't expect any special treatment. God bless him, hope he stays on the wagon.

On topic, there's not much I'm not eating these days...seem to cave to every whim. Munching a crisp sandwich as I browse just eat and watch Masterchef. Food has become my entire world

A lovely post Porklife. Thanks for sharing it. The irony of me having a beer and talking about Paul. I'm heading for the freezer to try out these Chicken with Attitude Spicy Goujons. The Chef Curry sauce is chilling in the fridge.:D

Sounds lovely alright and cheap is good. I've been making great dinners cheaply for years, but the last 10 months have been extra special.:D

That sounds amazing! I wouldn't have thought flatbread is flour and yogurt. Love sumac with feta. How am I still hungry:@)

Very easy to make an equal amount of flour and yogurt to make the dough let it rest for a while, very hot pan. kinda based on Paratha.

Some comfort food today. Scrambled egg on brown bap with gouda. Bangers and mash, the linda mc veggie type. Had a bowl of wedgies and sriracha mayo.
And that was my Miserable Monday

Nothing miserable about that, the wedges look good.

What’s that stuff like ? Worth investing in ? I’m partial to a bit of curry sauce with my chips. Usually make it myself though. Best thing I’ve found to make it with is S&B Golden Curry sauce. It’s Japanese curry sauce, very tasty. Comes in cubes which you dissolve. Also does nicely for Katsu curry.

Looks like a perfect day of food IrishLad.

I love the presentation of the wedges with the salad mixed into them. So simple but looks so appetising. I'll be stealing that idea

Sriracha mayo is the bizz too

Have kebab on the slow cooker for the dinner in the morning. Get a clean run at the day.

The Chef bottle sauce is worth a punt but more as a dipping sauce. Works for me as I tend not to pour curry sauce over my chips. I dip instead. There's a version that you make in a pot. If it tastes like the bottle version then its also worth trying.

Still waiting on my Tassimo coffee machine from Curry's. Never again will I give them my custom, disaster of a company with worse customer service.

In the meantime just got served some coffee to enjoy in bed while on the laptop. Tough ol' station.

In work. Just got a microwave in our office today!

In anticipation I brought a lovely home made burger leftover from last night's dinner and I've constructed it here with a nice fresh brioche bun, some cheese, onions and ketchup. Munching at my desk. Happy days. And nobody here to complain about my onion breath! :pac:

Toasted ham, cheese and onion sandwich Got those toastie bags and they are the business ;

Off topic a bit but I have had good experiences with Power City lately, with next day delivery on two separate orders - a dishwasher and a freezer. I don't know if they deliver to your counties but I would consider cancelling your other orders and switching if so.

I did that when DID Electrical messed me around.

Bought a burger press and tried it out today, had oven baked burgers stuffed with smoked cheese on a brioche bun, chips, mushrooms, coleslaw and cherry tomatoes.
I started getting things ready about 2pm and after all the effort forgot to take a picture of it but it was very nice. Shared a bottle of red with it.

Got the phone out for the dessert alright, hot chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream and apologies to bassy.

Local butcher sausages with mash and beans for the ladies in my life. I opted for a small sirloin with mash, mushrooms and onions. Had the last of those Aldi lemon cheesecake pots.

There is some drama here tonight. We have run out of chipstix.:eek:

My homemade meatballs, chips and mushy peas. Now its Wednesday night beers and Mrs G is joining me for the first time. Woo Hoo!:D

Piri piri chicken thighs and drumsticks from the freezer with homemade gratin potatoes, nice enough but the longer these lockdowns go on the more critical we are becoming of shop bought cook and serve products. Could be the caveman in me too just missing red meat after not having any for 24 hours.

More of the same dessert as yesterday and a slow cold can of Molson.
