That looks delish Mystery. She did the Thai meal too? Talented at that age. I could only fry a sausage then.:eek:

Grandeeod

Yes, that's her. Special kid. But the key thing I think is how her mam gives her free reign too. She can make what she wants for everyone in the house and she does. I wouldn't have been allowed.

No bother. I have a very small appetite but ordered too much food. I'm annoyed about the prawn crackers though. That place has lovely big ones that aren't greasy.

That's interesting. You should try it some time when you're not cutting back. I can't remember the last time I had chipper food. Could have been Supermacs about 5 months ago.

be honest i cannot remember the last time i had chipper food either,even when i was eating all sorts still cannot remember when i last had a chipper take away.

although i was in town last week felt a bit hungry and was thinking might go to the chipper van just for a bag of chips but i did,nt bother.

was never a mad kinda lad in to chipper or take aways,get them seldom up and down.

loved the chicken fillet tray,oh its to die for lol

No photos and don't care. Fillet steak, mash, garden peas and beef gravy. I considered some carrots but said no. A Raspberry/apple danish to finish off with a big glass of bainne. Very good for a late night feed!

Bacon and Sausage baguette cut in two. OJ. Hit the spot.

cj maxx

Chicken thighs / legs whatever you want to call them. Easy peasy. Chuck in the oven for 45 mins at 220*.
Can be eaten hot or cold. Cheap as chips as well

Rows Grower

Sirloin steak seared first, fried for another minute each side and then rested under tinfoil while the chips, mixed veg and peppercorn sauce were prepared. Could of ate it with a spoon it was that tender.

Extra wine for dessert.

bassy

big bowl of vegtable soup with sourdough bread for the weather thats in it.

Fathom

Coffeehouse has menu. What's for du jour? Pot roast. Yum. Places take-out order.

It's a weekly staple in my house. Bone 6 chicken thighs. Marinade in a combo of honey soy and ketchup for the afternoon. Crack the oven to 200c, put the chicken on a bed of chopped up veg on a tray and cook for 40 mins. Crispy skin, sticky marinade and tasty roast veg. As you say, easy peasy and extremely tasty.

Edit to say myself and the missus have two each and the 7 year old usually takes two himself. For the princely sum of 2 euro for the chicken! Without doubt the best value meal we eat in the house

Rows Grower

Turkey and smoked ham with gravy made from the stock the eldest lad made at Christmas.

A few Belgian chocolate praline's for dessert.

That sounds tasty bassy.

I love sweet potato fries or wedges or even roasted whole. But I hate sweet potato mash.
It tastes like ...sweet.mash...well duh lol. But I think its awful mashed.

Seen a thanksgiving recipe before of sweet potato mash in a tray with a marshmallow layer over the top :eek:

I can understand the idea, but imagine having a scoop of that with your turkey

As you would say yourself RG, something similar here! Roast chicken over ham with stuffing, gravy, mash scoops (from me new scooper) peas, carrots and parsnips.

An Aldi raspberry and apple Danish to finish.

Yo Grandeeod. Now you are making my tummy growl.

Porklife

I may have asked you before Grandeeod but did you ever train as a chef or work in kitchens?
You have such a passion for food and it always looks great!

I had a McCains jacket potato with butter and cheese but the water content it too high in them, they were frozen and they lacked the fluffiness of a real baked potato. The pound of kerrygold definitely helped though. It was more like want some watery potato with that pile of melting lard?;)
