Having a Chieftain IPA in mutton lane.
They just turned on the match

Didn't know there was one.
Time to go to my sport free zone at home maybe...

Enjoy the match

I have never made chicken casserole (!) so googled a recipe and got this:

Egg noodles? Cream of chicken soup?? Cubed cooked chicken??? Olives?!

Americans are weird.

Decided this one looked better:

I put loads of veg in mine , carrots , parsnips , onion , potatoes , the potatoes help thicken it too as they fall apart , try it !

(I cook spuds too separately don't worry!)

Yes, exactly. I couldn't do any type of casserole or stew without filling it with veg! (and sneak a few roasties in the oven)

igCorcaigh · 17-11-2018 8:17pm

I made a recent veg soup with carrots, leek, onion, parsnips, turnip (!), courgette, tomato, savoy cabbage... A couple of those chicken stock gel things... And plenty of butter and olive oil, and a dash of turmeric. Oh, and some garlic.

I was planning on blending it all then adding chicken...

But it was SO tasty, I left out the chicken.
And had it nice and chunky.

The butter and turmeric added a lovely richness.

Perfect with a dense brown bread loaded with kerrygold butter

Has to be Kerrygold. Sounds lush.

igCorcaigh · 17-11-2018 8:31pm

Funnily enough, it's the turnip and cabbage that makes it good.

Both things which I otherwise cannot eat!

Ha , great taste ! I love homemade veg soup too , apart from the courgette , and I've never put it cabbage either , but definitely will try it !

Oh , and I always put in turnip too

Yeah, a little bit of cabbage adds an nice green earthiness to balance out the sweet root veg, definitely try it, but just at the end. I think what turned me off cabbage when I was young was that it was overcooked.

Greens at the very end!

molly09 · 17-11-2018 8:57pm

My food is always so simple compared to others here. I had rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, rusted onions, carrots, broccoli and baked beans. It was good though. Followed with a curly wurly and king cheese and onion.

It was actually turnip that was the missing thing, I loved veg soup as a kid, but always found my own lacking. Its the turnip and cabbage!

I always love the simple food more. It somehow feels more grounded and natural. I do love the spices too though...

So were mine! Got there in the end. Wanted to stay in the pub too! Had to go home though. Really wanted more pints and a sloppy takeaway on a Saturday night after hours of jars. Sadly, I can't do it because I'm kinda under orders and have
to behave otherwise I get a lecture. Sinkin a can of something.:D

EDIT: I haven't been out on a Saturday night in feckin years and I'd love it with a takeaway and a lie on! Feeling cheated yet again, Feeling cheated forever. Mad to break out and do something mad again!

Kitty6277 · 18-11-2018 2:11pm

Rice Krispies and a cup of tea. It’s a late breakfast today on account of dropping the OH off at the airport

Graces7 · 18-11-2018 3:48pm

In the absence of a ready meal due to the uncoopertive weather, an interesting melange of home made mushy peas, chunk of ham fillet , half a sweet potato and an onion, all in the same pan as too weary to do more.. It was OK ish! Added some concentrated mint sauce to the peas.

Was at a months mind mass for someone today. Tea biscuits cake scones in the village hall after mass. About 20 family and a few friends asked back to the house for a fine dinner of mashed spuds garlic potatoes turnip peas ham and turkey.
Dessert of apple sponge or tart with ice cream and custard. Tea coffee biscuits. Minerals hard drink and a few hours of chat. Then tea with cold ham fruit cake buns and biscuits. Finished off the night with a packet of crisps and a Boost bar. Im fit for 2 months of hibernation after all that.

Graces7 · 19-11-2018 9:06am

Toast with good Irish butter and home made blackberry jam.. coffee courtesy of Supervalu rich roast ..

Speaking of Maccys. My friend used to be a manager there and said there's often problems with chicken problems due to two timers being involved and 1 often being missed/ignored.

Dammit that nuggets are my go to but lately it's not agreeing with me so well

Kitty6277 · 19-11-2018 8:02pm

A Mac and cheese ready meal with extra grated cheese on top. Surprisingly nice

Grandeeod · 19-11-2018 9:27pm

I'm listening to another chapter in the demise of Irish international football. Thankfully I have a nice Sirloin steak, chips, mushy peas and pepper sauce to alleviate the inevitable pain.:rolleyes:

I was so lazy and didn’t know what I wanted so I just thought that’d do. The extra cheese definitely helped

Did you get to cross to go to the lunch club Grace? I hope you did, sometimes a warm meal in the tummy is the best medication.

Had one of those days the nothing was going to fill this tummy. Started off with sourdough bread toasted and Jam
Lunch was keoghs crisps and a huge salad sandwich from O briens
Well dinner was veggie stir fry and rice
Ice cream and chocolate filled the gabs between the meals.

Thank you and YAY! It was fish the day, and they serve such a huge portion I cannot eat it all so they let me bring it home.. Soup, then apple crumble after... coffee and choccy biccies..

Lovely to see so many old wans looked after.. mostly men y'day. Left alone in the world..

Just coffee so far today, but planning to roast a chicken then maybe a big rice pudding.... LIDL were all but giving them away at E9 for three E1.5 birds.. So I shared with my neighbour the ferryman who had kindly collected a prescription for me... we will feast on this cold, cold day..

Graces7 · 20-11-2018 2:26pm

cake! A luscious, delectable tesco strawberry and white chocolate cake, reduced and not a drop of palm oil in it...

Decided to leave the chicken as I had a pan of the mushy pea stuff. Ham, sweet potato, home made mushy peas.... gave the ham to the cat then added alittle water and concentrated mint sauce , and had a big bowl of thick soup

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 20-11-2018 8:10pm

Had steak and a selection of garden veg for dinner

Now, custard with fruit cocktail.
