Really?

I never knew there was such a thing.

Wholemeal scones all the way for me though.

You can make them wholemeal ! I "discovered" microwave baking in sheer frustration at not being able for baking the usual way..

I got fussed by all the micro scone recipes so just did my own thing; flour, baking soda, butter , milk and into the microwave it went 2 mins then leave a few more mins.. Just had the second one and just as good... Just needed a scone!

speaking of food, has anyone tried any wild foods? I am now eating chickweed which is in abundance in my garden and when I googled it, it is a "superfood" .. salad or in soup..

Snacking all day between coffee and goodies with friends this morning and coffee with fresh baked fruit scones at home this afternoon. So, a few sausages, bacon, & eggs for dinner, with veg and spuds straight from the garden.


I have some ice cream and chocolate lined up for tonight.

Love a good lasagne. Homemade is the way to go but I'm too lazy. Have never had a good lasagne out.

The worst slop of a lasagne I had was in Rossini. So called Italian restaurant.

Awful place. Highly overated.

Taking some Brie out of the fridge to bring to room temperature.. mmmmmm

Mint choc chip ice cream on top of a busted up meringue shell. A taste sensation! All it needed was some strawberries.

It's been a very long time since I had a decent lasagne while eating out. It's often pre-made in a stupid little bowl and literally burnt into the side of it like a thick crust. Funny enough it's one dish I've never tried at home. Must put it on my list.

I'm lucky that a Supervalu near me does a "Homemade" lasagne on site and stocks it in the fridge section. Reheats perfectly and can be slid onto the plate without looking like a squidgy mess. Its meaty and stands firm on the plate.:D

California chili

Gougons of cod with chips from Quinlans plus peas and curry courtesy of Lidl. A mammoth feed.

There was a fiver off 20 coupon in a local free magazine and then went in to discover they had dropped their prices too, basically all fresh fish and real chips now under a tenner.

The lad that opened up at the side of the road about 6 miles away was obviously taking market share and along with the drop in tourists this year in Kerry kicked them into action. He would have been 39 euro for the same grub as opposed to 25, big difference.

Nothing worse than lasagne that goes into a sloppy mess rather than distinct layers.

Currently digging a spoon into the tubs of ice cream the kids got at Centra. They are not impressed considering I told them I was OK with my mint choc chip ice cream here at home, haha

This is a description of every lasagne I've seen served in a pub/restaurant, one meal I would never order out.

The wife is famous (okay, among family and friends) for her lasagnes, even fussy kids that have never tried it before rave about it.

Eldest lad is a great cook himself and takes a full tray home with him after every visit.

Had a donut the size of my face from "Doughnut Time" in Notting Hill. Weighed about a kilo and filled with a cookie dough cream. So full now but je ne regrette rien.

A fairly large new potato, fresh from the garden, steamed and eaten with just maldon salt and a green salad, also fresh from the garden. Very close now to my ideal weight but could not resist the new potato.
