Lads I can't get full lately. I had nachos at about 5pm, a packet between 3 of us with several dips and just now I had patas bravas, a packet of crisps and a caramello. I'm gonna be 200 stone if I keep this up!

I'm the same, can't get full, I wonder is it a Winter thing, had lovely sweet and sour chicken and rice that I got in SuperValu earlier, then a lovely sponge/fairycake type bun that I got in the local coffee shop for dessert, that was only an hour ago and I'm hungry again now!

Glad I'm not the only one!! Trying to be good food wise but it's tough going! Seem to be thinking I'm hungry constantly. Also, the weather doesn't help!
To satisfy my sweet tooth I'm currently having some Green & Blacks organic white chocolate. Yum

Same here

I really want a roast chicken, but since it's just myself I'm cooking for, a chicken would be waaaay too big

There's only one son and myself here , and he might only eat one slice of a roast chicken tbh , but I still cook it , have dinner , and then use the rest of the chicken for curries , etc .

Don't know if that's of any help to you !

You can portion it out and make it last three days inclusive. You just need storage containers and room in the fridge of course.

I could, or I could freeze some of it and use it for pasta or fajitas or something. Hmm, I think I'll do that next weekend

1. Buy decent chicken ( F/R or Org ) - may seem expensive but goes a long way
2. Roast it. eat some
3. Use leftover for lunches
4. Make stock from carcass & use stock for home made soup.


I'm munching on a few home roasted almonds.

Pork fillet, carrots, broccoli, celery and potatoes. Custard and stewed apples for dessert.

I just had a Walsh's spice burger in a bun with two Connolly's rashers and two Halfner's sausages washed down with a cup of tea.

You got some great advice here about using it up afterwards and storing it. However if you have a decent butcher near you, a quarter chicken portion can be bought. I do it all the time. On the bone and under the skin. Breast and wing. Some come with stuffing or are marinaded in a garlic sauce. I don't buy meat in supermarkets, but I'm sure they have them pre-packed.

Awesome! I'm gonna have a spice burger and chips for lunch this week. BUT....the spice burger has to be deep fried to get the Chipper effect.:eek:

I always thought the chippers grilled them.
Ever have a battered mars bar? I'm on the hunt for one in North County Dublin.

Thanks everyone for the ideas about the chicken!

Dinner tonight was chicken fajitas, an idea courtesy of Seph last night

foxy farmer

Jaysus some amount of chicken eaten today. Had one myself. Legs and wings gone. Sandwiches with the breast later. Salt pepper butter on brown sliced pan. Pick the carcass for the dog.

Skill Magill!

Cedar Tree on St. Andrew Street is a Lebanese restaurant.

The food is incredible and everything is always perfect. I can't praise the place enough.

The Schwarma is incredible!

They put a little cut into it and lash it into the fryer. The cut is to stop it exploding. As a result it comes to you moist and crispy. Its just being reheated anyway. My Mam cooked them on the grill, but they never tasted the same as the chipper. Deep fry em!

The battered mars bar was a fairytale to me until I visited Glasgow 18 years ago. After a night of booze in a club, I was dragged to a joint that did this Scottish legend. I lined the stomach with a chicken curry and chips, then I hoovered up the battered mars bar.:D It was fooking lovely! Not sure I could do it now!

Whispered

Battered mars bar. Do they sweeten the batter at all?

igCorcaigh

Big batch of lemony sweet potato and lentil soup made for the week.

In a couple of hours it will be the apron on, beer in hand and making a great Chili.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Doing stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon, with carrot and mangetout for Mrs S and sausage, bacon, white pudding, onions and potatoes for myself.

Grandeeod

This Chili has it all folks! You've seen it before in a snap. Hot or mild as you like. I've gone hot tonight. Mrs G, just had her's over rice. Sour cream and Mozzarella cheese on top. Its hot but you can get all the flavours goin on. I'm having mine later in a bowl, with an Irish twist on the side.......Chips.:D

Little G has roast chicken, mash and gravy.

I had a sandwich from the deli which was a disappointment and jambons for dinner.
