What are ye eatin' and drinkin' - The Eatening

Surreptitious

The Red Thai curry I got was the bomb. Very spicy but seriously flavoursome. It has been ages since I had anything that nice. It reminds me a bit of the red curries I used to make a while back only nicer. Low in calories and no artificial crap.

It helped that I only had toast today so was very hungry.

Was it a takeaway? I haven't had a decent Thai red curry in yonks, nor a Green one. Hard to make at home due to the poor standard of paste. I used to, but gave up for that reason. I've one last takeaway to try locally. I love Thai curry.;)

No I don't eat take away much. It was the Fit Food one I mentioned before. Seriously good but very spicy. I don't have energy to cook from scratch every day with work as well but these are healthy options. It comes with brown rice that has veggies running through it.
The sauce is a bit runny but that's the way mine used to end up too.

A real Thai curry is meant to have runny sauce. Watery all the way. So sounds good. I'm gonna try one last takeaway joint that know me and ask them to spice it up. After that I may get back to making it myself!

I made it years ago for friends and they had been in Thailand and enjoyed my attempt. We were wasted though so don't know how true the feedback was.

Wondered into SuperValu today and picked up a few packets of southern fried drumsticks at half price as the best before date was up today, worked out at 25 cent each. Roosters were 49 cent a kilo in Aldi, a spoon of deluxe coleslaw from Lidl pushed the total meal cost to just under a euro and it was delicious.

Tall java with dash of cream.

I'll always remember the first time I saw grapes and cheese served as a combo, it was at a party my cousin Mary threw about 40 years ago and I was mega impressed. I wasn't invited or anything, I was just calling for her younger brother and back then you just walked into your cousins house anytime you wanted after a small knock at the door and a proclamation of "It's only me". I don't even know what the party was for but I enjoyed it anyway.

Every time I've had grapes and cheese together since I always think of her, she was like a film star then and she's still as classy every single time I see her.

Haha a woman after my own heart
I'm all for breaking the food rules... beer for breakfast, sausage sambo at night!

Grandeeod

I had one of those days! Sausages, spud waffles, beans and toast for breakfast early. Me and Ms G rambled into our local town to set up some banking stuff for her and then stole away on the sneaky to an outdoor Burger King job. I only had bacon and cheese fries.:D And a skinny coke. That made dinner easy as Mrs G is on the WWs thing. Ms G opted for a ham baguette. But I just had to have a little more filling tonight. Had a striploin steak, onions/mushrooms, fried potato cubes and some pepper sauce on my trusty wooden slap. Washed down with some strawberry bainne.

Porklife

Brunch lunch today is an unreal Friday treat..bacon, mushrooms, garlic and spinach sauteed in butter and nutmeg with potato cakes and poached eggs and extra hot tobassco.
Seriously delicious

IrishLad90

Slow cooked a chicken, so now resisting the temptation of snacking at it for the afternoon

Hoping to get some in the fridge for the weekend

It was a very stressful week with normal work and in staff fighting. It was all just drama which I hate. So today with the aid of alcohol, I am in a happy place lol.

Pizza for lunch

Apple tart for lunch

Grandeeod

Inspired by porklife and I did promise Mrs G. So she had sausages, rashers, fried egg, beans, chips and bread and butter for dinner. Ms G had a smaller version. I have opened a beer Job done. I'll put something on my board later. It was a present from Ms G and she loves to see me use it.:D

Friday night takeaway, I had one bite of pizza but lots of chips and heated up my own mushy peas with lots of salt ,vinegar and garlic mayo. I'm now in agony as all I eaten today was a small pear and half a pastry. I'm in pain. I had a pint of Aldi summer fruits dilute with it and I'm waiting to have a glass of red wine once my stomach settles. ☺️

Do you think Rockshore beer or cider G? I had Rockshore light last weekend. It's 3% and my doctor said I was allowed...she really did! It was actually really nice, very crisp and refreshing.
Would murder one now but having cranberry juice and sparkling water instead:)

SineadSpears

tonight I had turkey, ham and cabbage from the freezer.

with carrots and stuffing.

I also made mustard mash for the first time and it was lovely! with Maille wholegrain mustard. I thought it might have been a drier mustard but it was loose and kind of vinegary.

Felt a bit odd having a roast dinner with no sauce but everything tasted lovely so it was fine.

I just need to figure something to have with it next time. can't be having a sauceless dinner :pac:

Grandeeod

Just brought down some peri peri chicken wings on the board with fries, coleslaw and dips. Well jarred with Mrs G here, but happy out! Some great tunes too!:pac:

Happens a lot. I know a rep and he blames rough shelf packing that breaks small holes in the odd bag causing them to go stale.

Roasted a chicken crown and served it up to the girls with roasties and corn on the cob. Havin a beer and gonna recreate a takeaway meal later. I may walk around the block before it so I can pretend I'm on the way home from the pub.:D

Every time I see kettle chips, I immediately hear Sideshow Bob in my head saying 'ah kettle chips...the perfect side dish...for revenge!'

Takeaway Taco Chips , Mizzonis finest !

Homemade takeaway. Cheese and bacon fries. Chicken wings and a hot sauce. It was so perfect after a night in the pub! I wish?

Graces7

Big mug of instant coffee... The cats are replete with raw chicken. Really off food these days I am. Eating is an effort...

Rows Grower

Spring onion sausages, smokey bacon and cheddar cheese in two slices of white toast with a mug of tea.

I love Sunday mornings.

Having a cup of tea to regain some sense of reason in this muddled world.

I was on Lidl undecided and I saw the fit foods Thai red curry you've talked about Surreptitious so that's gonna be my lunch

Something that's been annoying me this weekend is food reviews. So many places get fantastic reviews then I try the food and think wtf. I know taste is personal but some things can't be disputed like cold food or tiny portions. There's a cafe near my apartment that was open for sitting in today for some reason. Looks a bit of a kip from the outside but a quick google showed rave reviews.
It was horrible. Everything from the grubby disinterested guy behind the counter who when I asked..are you guys open to sit inside, just shrugged his shoulders to the smell of stale oil. I dont know why I stayed and paid 15 euro for a disgusting breakfast
Rant over:)
