You really like that place Dibkins

I have yet to try it, hopefully soon!

For lunch today I have ryvita topped with Philadelphia smoked salmon and dill (spotted it in Dunnes on Sunday so said I'd try it; it's nice

), actual smoked salmon and cucumber

Several months later, I'm finally getting around to my easter egg.

It's a Cadbury Flake one.

From Sunday - Huevos Rancheros from Cleaver East. These were delicious. I made the mistake of not asking for my eggs to be cooked 'firm' though so while they were probably the perfect texture for anyone who doesn't have a funny love/hate relationship with liquid egg yolk and a full on hatred of unset egg white the whole dish was a little soft for me. /eggynavelgazing

Took my son fishing for the first time today, so strawberry jam sandwiches and flasks of hot chocolate for him and tea for me.

NOS3 · 02-07-2015 7:50pm

Went out for lunch with friends.

I had a ham, cheese and tomato panini with chips, pasta and a carrot and pumpkin seed salad. Followed by a mixed berry crumble.

Mrs Fox · 05-07-2015 3:16pm

Fridge and freezer clearing: pan fried duck with fried rice.

Merkin · 05-07-2015 5:16pm

Made us tasty nibble grub plates today with Iberico ham, mozzarella, Spanish anchovies and a mixed tomato and basil salad with obscene amounts of extra virgin olive oil mopped up with crusty bread and enjoyed with some tasty prosecco.

AmyPL · 06-07-2015 8:35pm

Currently trying to break the habit of going out for lunch, by making my home made lunches a bit more substantial than my usual bagel + hummus + a yogurt.

Today I'm having a salad with egg, avocado, feta, cherry tomatoes and baby leaves. Made a quick dressing with olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper.

John Mason · 07-07-2015 2:36pm

Couscous, feta cheese, avocado, fresh lime juice, tomato, spring onion, red pepper.

absolutely yummers

DarkoT · 07-07-2015 3:12pm

Sandwich with boiled eggs, avocado, hot sauce and Parmesan cheese.

MissFlitworth · 07-07-2015 9:53pm

I'm eating clean this week so...

(by the by, anyone thinking of heading out to Ikea, it is a pit of hell now that the Summer Holidays have started. Wouldn't recommend unless you're tweaking for meatballs or desperate for some pretty mugs or need to buy a Scandinavian some soft bread)

homemadecider · 08-07-2015 8:18am

Spanish omelette with slow cooked onions and cheddar. Looking forward to lunch time today.

Mrs Fox · 08-07-2015 1:26pm

Goat's cheese, spinach, basil and tomato quesadilla in quinoa and chia tortilla, slaw and watermelon.

dibkins · 08-07-2015 2:04pm

What's your slaw recipe Mrs. Fox?

Not exact measurement, but for dressing I mixed about 1/2 cup mayo, a splash of (almond) milk, a splash of cider vinegar, a bit of wholegrain mustard, a bit of maple syrup, a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper, and chopped spring onion.
Add in shredded red cabbage quarter, 1 large carrot julienned, 2 sliced celery sticks, about 4 sliced radish, a small kiddie box of raisins, chopped pecans. I think that was it. It changes all the time depending on what I have in the fridge/larder. But dressing is pretty much the same. I would've added a splash of buttermilk had I any.

northgirl · 09-07-2015 5:05pm

Massive baguette (arbutus bread) with Emmental, salad, mayo & relish from the English Market sandwich stall - so delicious love their sandwiches.

RentDayBlues · 12-07-2015 3:56pm

Watching the Leinster final which was very poor so reheated quiche for lunch which turned out to be mouldy! Had focaccia and salad instead. Which the quiche heated I decided to make some fairy cakes with the kids, we did orange chocolate and Rum and raisin

Mrs Fox · 12-07-2015 4:45pm

Mr Fox made a lovely birthday brunch, coking my all-time favourite, poached egg with sauteed mushroom on toasted brioche.

Followed by this rich chocolate cake from Avoca. So, so rich.

I went to Kilmore Quay seafood festival today and had this delicious feast!

Happy birthday Mrs Fox!

Mars Bar · 13-07-2015 2:18pm

I had a few random things in the fridge so I decided to make a wrap that included a roast slice of chicken, basil leaves, spinach, mozzarella, avocado, mayo and some chilli powder. It was frickin' yummy and is staying on my menu. I think some sundried tomatoes would really top it off!

Sundried tomatoes would absolutely send that wrap to heaven

Another sick scallywag in the house, another pot of spiced chicken bone broth simmered slowly on the hob all morning.
I made a bowl of pho out of it, with poached chicken breast in the broth, rice flat noodles, seasoned with fish sauce, topped with chopped basil, mint and bird's eye chilli, and a squeeze of lime.

I had similar, roast chicken, spinach, quinoa, avocado, cherry tomatoes, pesto - and what topped mine off - wexford strawberries

MissFlitworth · 13-07-2015 3:27pm

Big lunchbox full of quinoa, spinach, grated carrot & leftover roast veggies from dinner last night with loads of soy. Practically a bucket of food, really.

13-07-2015 3:29pm

Mrs. Fox I may just have to make that this evening

If I was living in your house, I'd be playing sick all the time, to get fed like this.

Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with king prawns/smoked salmon, gem lettuce, cucumber, carrots, basil and mint. Hoi sin sauce to dip.

tampopo · 14-07-2015 11:23pm

A full Irish (breakfast) at the greasy spoon café at the Walkinstown roundabout. Stopped with traffic, coming home from work, I couldn't resist!!!
Bliss.

Dizzyblonde · 16-07-2015 12:27pm

I'll be having ham and spinach quiche today.

That's one comforting bowl.

Lunch was a beautiful spread to a dear friend's house for the celebration of Eid.
Penang Laksa packed with flavour. Also Beef Rendang with Lemang (sticky rice in coconut milk).
Snacking on monkey nuts lightly toasted with garlic in between servings.
Full belly to last till dinner. No photos, sorry

Eid Mubarak!

angeldelight · 19-07-2015 3:20pm

Not very pretty but very tasty leftover chilli

NOS3 · 19-07-2015 11:22pm

Chicken, lettuce and pepper sandwich with homemade garlic bread.

dibkins · 20-07-2015 1:26pm

Chicken soup from my shiny new thermos. Lets see how long this health kick lasts! Got chicken soup, chilli bean soup and ministrone in the freezer now - all pretty healthy and all big portions.

iwantmydinner · 20-07-2015 1:45pm

Currently tucking into two poached eggs and a massive bowl of salad - little gem, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives and feta with a quick vinaigrette. Low-cal, high veg content regime going pretty well so far.

Riverireland · 20-07-2015 3:55pm

Felt like indulging as it's Monday. Baked potato with chilli and lots of cheddar cheese, nom.

Tilly · 23-07-2015 1:43pm

I went to Eddie Rockets, feel gross now

kylith · 23-07-2015 2:49pm

Centra ham salad box. Filled a gap that I've been stuffing with Bad food all week.

MissFlitworth · 23-07-2015 3:36pm

Salad box thing with Vietnamese roast chicken, spinach, sweet potato, sprouty things, spring onion, nuts and a peanut dressing. Tasty! Going to try make my own for next week's work lunches.

northgirl · 23-07-2015 8:07pm

Lamb chops, carrot & parsnip mash, boiled ballycotton potatoes & spinach - potatoes were really good with plenty of butter & salt.

Kovu · 24-07-2015 12:42pm

Haven't eaten it yet but I've just made myself a slow cooked (14 hour) duck on sourdough, with caramilised red onion chutney and Humming Bark cheese.

Gonna eat it on the bus to Dublin, cannot wait for it!

Diamond Doll · 24-07-2015 2:52pm

Duck on a bus. Brilliant!

(Quack quack!)

Kovu · 24-07-2015 3:16pm

It was amazing! Humming Bark is also a fantastic cheese I discovered recently, the cheese comes wrapped in spruce bark. It's like a milder Brewers Gold.
