    I made the best curry I have ever made and almost the best I have ever tasted today.

    I fried off some onions, garlic and a bit of fresh ginger in some spray oil and a bit of butter, then added chopped veg and threw in 1 and a half red chilis. Then added some lentils and a load of a masala mix, some tomato passata and salt and black pepper. The chilis had made it a little too hot so when I took it off the cooker I stirred in some natural yoghurt (yon dutch lady I had earlier) and served on boiled rice. It was amazing. I don't know how it was better than others but it just was. The creaminess calmed the chili but you could still get the flavours. Nom. I want more now but it is almost 3.30 am here so better leave it for tomorrow and hit the bed.

    Pigged out hard at the weekend so fully back to normality.

    Having a bowl of homemade kale chips and a fruit protein smoothie with a tonne of ice so it feels like it's frozen yoghurt with a few handfuls of Cheerios thrown on top.

    Had a smoked salmon wrap a while ago.

    Chicken Madras tonight with basmati rice and chips. Comfort food and homemade too. My weekend is usually on a Monday night. Fook the takeaway and hello beers! Curry to follow!

    Tomorrow it all gets back to reality.

    It just hit my when reading this that most posts involve people eating some sort of meat. How lucky we all are that we live with access to such luxury in historical terms (and modern terms in many parts of the world). Even as recently as the 80s people ate much less meat that today.

    At present I'm eating cold chicken curry from earlier!

    I have no idea what I want. There is a ready made cauliflower cheese thing in my fridge that I bought to support my small local shop buying a new range. Tempted to fry some bacon really crispy or mushroom and sprinkle it on top!

    Chicken stirfry with chilli, green beans, spinach and egg noodles. Some fresh raspberries for dessert.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Just finished some fish and chips, then remembered the bread rolls I bought shopping earlier. No chip butty. Ah well, extra home made breakie roll in the morning it is then.

    had to have some new potatoes due to the diet food being like something you'd give an insect to eat, even though it was tasty.

    I was about to reply to your previous post by saying you will be starving after it.:D

    Ah I remember the days on Weight Watchers and as a man, it was torture when I opted for one of their meals. No matter how many zero point veg I added to the plate, the meal was still crap. But shed 4 stone in old money and more or less kept it off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    How the hell did you keep it off..I'd be obese if I lived in your house.

    I'm just picking at the moment..had some chorizo potatoes from Aldi earlier just to eat something..not great tbh.Tayto C & O shortly with a little vino.

    Nah ya wouldn't! Believe me you can have takeaway style food cooked at home that is low calorie. My Chicken Madras for example - only calories in it are from the chicken, rice and sprinkle of flour. Lots of walking and no nibbling between meals. Most days I only have one main meal and that's what you read here. I hit a really big weight 16 years ago. I'm no twiggy now, but I wouldn't stand out in a crowd.:D

    Arrived at my brother's in London last night very late, got up this morning and no butter, no tea, no bread or anything breakfast like, so just gone to Costa for tea and croissant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    Crunching on some mangetout while my spud boils and veggie tikka burgers sizzle on the pan. Some sweetcorn and broadbeans will be thrown in with the spuds when they are nearly done and then the lot tossed on the pan with some butter, black pepper and salt.

    Am starving even though I had a biggish lunch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Veggie tikka burgers? Sound interesting. Do you make them yourself or buy them?

    Beans and toast. Tesco beans are very sweet. Yuk.

    They are from McCains, got them in Tesco....in Kuala Lumpur! They are yum. Very small, in fact not much bigger than nuggets really but delicious.

    Yeah I hate sweet beans but worse is when bread is sweet. Yuck. In asia most bread is sweet and it makes me boke. I have found a fairly decent wholemeal one in my local supermarket and you can get some good baguettes but other than that the bread is mank.

    Smoked cod poached in milk, fresh peas from the garden and a boiled potato with real butter. Yum
