For supper I had tofu "chips" with asparagus and cream cheese sandwich. Followed by seaweed caviar - before you think "wtf?!", I was in IKEA today and they were giving samples. It's delicious! The texture is unusual and it's salty but not too salty.

Macaroon bar, white wine.

Now sleep

Salmon (soon as I can break for food).

Graces7 · 11-06-2018 05:32AM

Coffee, made as I try to cut up chicken for the cats, one of whom is on a chair behind me grabbing with his paw....maybe is why I plonked the electric kettle on the gas cooker then tried to light the gas.... forgetting the bottles are empty ..

Need more coffee and maybe toast..

Graces7 · 11-06-2018 08:31AM

coffee and a raisin and biscuit yorkie that came in the shopping instead of twirl ..

rainbow kirby · 11-06-2018 08:40AM

Strong black coffee and a bowl of Alpen.

I agree completely. SV is a very overrated place when it comes to certain foodstuffs. I think it has gone downhill over the last two years. Not nearly as good as it used to be. My local SV is a dump.

Actually I find they have gone up lately. They are trying to meet the "big 4" and doing a fair job.

The "blame" was mostly mine! I had the turkey and ham dinner for a change and have disliked it before; peas and carrots and the ham is tough. The bacon and cabbage is great! And their huge cottage pie is good too; I get three large portions ( freeze 2) from the tray at E.6.50.

The web site is great!

The SV in Achill is the one who are so very kind re deliveries. No tesco or aldi or lidl or dunnes there..they compete with a local family shop so that keeps them up to scratch. Never been in the shop yet..

Fathom · 11-06-2018 05:04PM

Coffee smoothie

A lot of SVs are independently owned and operated. In my area the differences in quality are huge. As I said my local one is a dump. No consistency in stock. Poor staff. A bad experience considering the prices. That said there's two in Portlaoise that are very good.

Grandeeod · 11-06-2018 06:32PM

I had a meal at lunchtime and it was so retro! I used to eat the Campbells version as a kid. I bought a can of Frey Bentos Meatballs in gravy. Had them with a buttered baguette. Deadly.:D

Graces7 · 11-06-2018 06:37PM

Having been reunited with a working gas cooker.. chips and fish fingers..

you would love the SV in Dingle! The name "emporium" is the only possible title.. I mean quail's eggs...And so wonderfully arranged.

I vetoed the one in Clifden; they had set themselves v LIDL and ALDI to be the kind of deli shop... The day I found myself face to face with a tank of live lobsters with their great claws bound with elastic was my last real shop there. Was nearly physically sick.. a man came up and asked if the lobsters could feel things....

SortingYouOut · 11-06-2018 06:49PM

Dirty chipper on the way and a can of Karpackie. Of a Monday no less.

Don't mind your fish fingers Graces7, stick a local lobster in the pot there and have a good healthy feed.

Cooked a Milano margherita pizza and added some chorizo and spinach. Tastiest pizza I've had in a long time

Rows Grower · 11-06-2018 07:02PM

I'm eating all the blackcurrant pastilles out of my sons 230g bag of Dominion Fruit Pastilles.

And they are lovely.

And I think I'll eat the red ones too.

Graces7 · 11-06-2018 08:08PM

Oaties and weak warm coffee

Grandeeod · 11-06-2018 08:14PM

Beef in black pepper sauce. My current fave homemade oriental style dish. Lots of green pepper, onion and fiery red chilli. Served on a bed of basmati rice. A cold beer to wash it down.

The sloppy beef one is really nice.

Whispered · 11-06-2018 10:46PM

I made pizza with Tescos pizza base mix. Very garlicky tomato sauce and 3 types of cheese. Served with homemade wedges. Not a scrap left on anyone's plate.

Sephiroth_dude · 11-06-2018 11:06PM

Full of popcorn and coke.

DunnoKidz · 11-06-2018 11:21PM

Have no quick convenience foods on hand, bought only healthy stuff that takes time consuming preparation.
Tired and hungry now, but have nothing prepared.

(wish I had thought this through better)
So, water and sleep it is!
