Yeah, I seem far more into the idea of food than my OH chef is, but isn't that understandable when all you do everyday is cook food for someone!

I guess there are benefits in cooking for one, great freedom, but I tend to live on quick picnic type food rather than full dinners.

As I said, pure lazy.

I had 6 (no 8) petit filous today just as part of 'lunch'

Deja Boo

Protein powder in my coffee (am out of milk).



and may I say...

it's disgusting

Just had a gorgeous juicy pear, haven't had one in yonks and picked them up on a whim in Centra a few days ago as part of a 3 for 2e deal. There's 4 in the pack and they stay very green but felt soft today so I just tried one,honestly they're like the pears from the old days,so juicy.I also got a bag of apples and salad potatoes as part of that deal, definitely recommend them.
Very little else eaten so today but I'm thinking takeaway later and fancy a chipper rather than pizza . Nearly wine time tf.

Loin of pork. Roast spuds, peas, carrots and apple sauce. Hic!

Treated ourselves to a meal out this evening in one of our local's that we would have usually been in at least once a week before all this chaos hit us.

It was our second time in there since the start of March but after reading about those scum that are running the country and their golf convention session away in a hotel the three of us decided f*ck this, we are entitled to be served for a change.

We booked for a time that we knew would be quiet and were treated like royalty, the owners and staff are actually friends of ours that we haven't seen or spoken to for ages.

The three of us enjoyed a lovely meal in a totally safe environment and I had three slow pints of beautiful draught Guinness over the hour and a half.

It felt good, tasted good and was justified.

Fair play Rows, enjoying a meal out and supporting a local business at the same time, no doubt in as safe an environment as possible.

This evening I made a lovely pasta dish, tomato and red pepper sauce, with onions, garlic and cayenne pepper. Blitzed all of that to smooth (herself doesn't like the texture of cooked tomato or peppers, but loves the flavour) and added in boiled asparagus spears and frozen peas. Added the pasta then too, was delicious.

Bit of variety this evening to shake things up, a bacon cheeseburger in a brioche bun, some hot spicy chicken wings, cheese nachos with salsa sauce on the side and homemade chips.

Washed down with a cold Perlenbacher Weissbier and then a melt in the mouth salted caramel pudding for dessert.

That's it now until the big Sunday brekkies in the morning. Will have another few Weissbiers though.

Savage feed there RG. I'm having a few scoops here. Mrs G had a Chicken wrap, rocket and spicy wedges with sweet chili sauce. Ms G had a chicken fillet burger with chunky chips. Hoping Mrs G opens her bottle of wine to join me in a drink. I'm having Striploin steak, sauteed mushrooms and chunky chips later. Not sure what sauce yet. Could be just gravy!

No big brekkie tomorrow as I went mad this morning watching the rain piss down. Four rashers and four slices of white pudding and a fried egg in a toasted sandwich. Jaysus it was mighty.:D

I know that feeling only too well, on a Saturday evening I always just open it anyway and pour a glass for herself before I serve dinner.

Enjoy that steak.

Random odd foods. Maybe this is why I have no friends.

Poached kippers with flatbread, beetroot hummous, lime pickle, onions with Korean chilli.

All out of greens.

Tastes better than it looks.

igCorcaigh

The onions were good though.

Good spoon of Korean chilli flakes
Sesame oil
White wine vinegar but Shaouxing would be better.
Sugar or mirin, which I did not have.

Did you make or buy the beetroot hummus? I love beetroot and adore onions, haven't had kippers in years but might pick them up this week.

Just had another pear, I'm hooked, so juicy.

I will make some beetroot hummus today. Had forgotten about it and have lots of beetroot. Thanks, igCorcaigh, (which is where I should be but am locked down)

Bought the beetroot hummous from Dunnes.
Fresh pears are the job!

Full Irish, mostly from the airfyer, with a mug of tea.

Good for the day now until the roast beef about 5ish, I love Sundays.

It's a shame that you'll never know those sausages were honey and mustard flavoured and the mushrooms were fried in butter.

Ah well.

I had Mexican baked eggs with a variety of hot sauces - extra hot tobassco Franks, ultimate terror made with ghost chillies. I think I'm addicted to hot sauce!

Coddle, I'm feeling quite autumny today! Made a big pot of it, hopefully I leave enough to freeze for during the week.

I got a sneaky jalapeno in my Nacho's the other night and I thought I'd have to inhale the fire extinguisher.

Beef roulades, carrot and parsnip mash and roast potatoes .

Fry up wise I do the sausages and pudding in the Air Fryer. I grill the rashers, but mushrooms and eggs in the pan. Honey and mushroom sausies are the dogs bol...:D Ms G not into them. She'll appreciate them eventually. Me and Mrs G swear by them when my local butcher makes them, which is not always.

I can visualize that. Cutting into the beef and all that magic pouring out. Lovely!

This evening in our humble house, it was an unplanned affair. Due to myself and Mrs G getting tipsy last night, I forget to take the chicken fillets out of the freezer. A chicken casserole with mash was the plan. So the girls decided on sausages, beans, chips and bread and butter. I obliged. I'm treating myself to a takeaway after a few beers. I miss my few pints on a Sunday evening, but I'm happy to adapt.:D

Smoked coley here, with baby potatoes in butter and long stem broccoli, onions and tomatoes on the side.

Grandeeod, no idea how you manage takeaways while cooking, ifnmy 6 year old senses any type of takeaway he'd down tools on dinner and not let me away with it!
