Stay in the leaba and let him get the stuff from the shed! I hope you're ok, break ups are sh1t.

Ah Sam, so sorry about your doggy. Such a difficult decision but you know when it's time yourself. Try to take some comfort from the fact that he's had a good and happy life with you.

No it's the North West/ West in general CH. Not sure if it's fact but think I heard before it originated in Leitrim.

Just spent the last few hours watching/listening to a Yanni concert from a place called Al-Ula.

Just look at the first few minutes to see the amazing scenery that I shall get to visit tomorrow.

Not contradicting Bones but I spend a lot of time in Galway/Connemara and never heard it mentioned.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 09-02-2019 11:54am

In work, feeling like the duracell bunny after a bowl of cocaine.
Fell asleep last night at about 10:30 ish, practically the afternoon for me. Woke up at half 8. Vaguely recall waking during the night with a cough but fell back to sleep immediately. I literally had about half my weeks sleep in one night!

What’s the lines

Boxty on the pan
Boxty on the griddle
If ya can’t make boxty
You’ll never get a man

Or to that affect years alcohol abuse is killing my brain cells

Grandeeod · 09-02-2019 12:35pm

Wish I had some Boxty now to sort out the stomach. Three pan fried slices of it with an egg on top.

Supervalu sell it. It originated in the Leitrim, Cavan and Fermanagh areas.

It's basically just a few types of potato bread, it's widely available in our area here and I love it.
Four types in our local shop, two suppliers, mcniffes and drumulty.
Small pan ones called potato bread, larger ones called boxty pancakes, then there's two types you slice, its boiled in cake form, called dumplings, you slice it and fry the slices.
Then there's a baked one, shaped like a soda bread loaf, you slice and fry also.
All are pre cooked, you fry to reheat and brown before you eat them.
Some people grill them or pop the slices in a toaster, but that's rotten to me as it just dries them out.
I love all of them, my mother used to make them for us years ago, and the best way is fried and some butter to melt on them.
Beautiful with bacon egg and sausage.

Mam of 4 · 09-02-2019 12:57pm

In the kitchen , obligatory coffee in hand

Boxty , is it in anyway similar to potato cakes you'd make yourself ?

Edward M · 09-02-2019 1:05pm

Yes, it was always homemade here when we were younger. The pancakes are basically just potatoes grated very fine mixed with flour and salt added.
That's the quickest homemade version.

Thanks Edward , I've often made potato cakes , never tried boxty so was wondering if there was any similarities !

Mam, if you have never tried the dumplings or the loaf you don't know what you're missing.
They make great quick dinners too, you can have them with anything. I've often had them with chops, burgers and even steak.

Couch side. Settling in for the Rugby. Busy morning. Getting lawnmower ready for first outing of the year. New blades, belts, and service. All done by yours truly. Can't wait now to get going with it. First dry day................................ I just realised I've no life!

TG1 · 09-02-2019 1:43pm

Chilling on the sofa, in good form for a change. Finally think I'm getting a handle on things, and am feeling good.

Have a secret stash of mini eggs beside me, the fire lit, an audio book on and no plans made for later.

I'm enjoying life and not thinking a million days ahead, and not in what if mode for a change. Its really really nice. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.

smurfjed · 09-02-2019 1:48pm

Passenger delayed the flight by 2 hours, so I find myself sitting in a quiet empty plane waiting for the rugby to start.

Ilovethe bonesofyou · 09-02-2019 2:04pm

The McNiffes boxty slices would be the ones that remind me most of the boxty my mother made years ago. The texture of it would be similar. I find the way you cook it is most important. Fried in butter with the pan as high as can go.

Just to clarify aswell I'm not some weird boxty addict

I'd normally only eat it now and again with a fry but we've been on a sustained run of boxty for a while now. Fartypants is pregnant after all and this baby seems to love his potato goods and I certainly ain't complaining, get in ma belly!

Sephiroth_dude · 09-02-2019 2:09pm

Home after shopping with mammy in dunnes

she was looking at the lyons tea bags again :eek:, So I distracted her with mini rolls "Oh there lovely looking" and I quickly switched in the barry's

Aren't you settling fo the rugby !!
Enjoy....

bolgbui41 · 09-02-2019 2:11pm

In the comfy clothes, tea in hand, ready to watch the rugby.....or I thought I was till I read all this boxty talk. We have one of the loaves in the fridge (our local butcher imports it from the wilds of Leitrim or Cavan or one of those strange foreign places). And there's rashers...and fresh duck eggs with bright orange yolks that'd soak into the boxty beautifully....

Headings kitchenside to make a mini-fry up. Damn you all and your boxty.

True. Dead right.

I suppose I was more getting at the level of happiness I got out of messing with a lawnmower, and looking forward to using it! In an earlier life I would have probably been at the rugby or at least perched on a high stool.

Schwanz · 09-02-2019 3:19pm

Got my morning coat on, brown 70’s styled underpants and a great big Cuban watching the Liverpool match.

Kitty6277 · 09-02-2019 3:22pm

Homeside for now, dressed for work and having a cuppa and will have a small snack before I head off

cbyrd · 09-02-2019 3:23pm

On the couch having cuddles, dinner is being prepared as I watch

chickens are roasting and we're having turnip, carrots, cabbage and baked spuds. It smells gorgeous.
Gym this morning was fun. There's 8 kids here and I noticed nobody requested any loaners. Feck.

Graces, ham was a quick salty fix, low cal after a couple of drinks, or when I'm really hungry to stop me going for something that'll ruin me.

Give us a wave if the cameras get on you, I'm just putting my feet up to watch it.
Had a, quiet day. Did some home maintainance for ourselves. Gutters cleaned and tightened up, facia and soffit cleaned, outside of windows and doors washed, patio power washed.
I deserve a beer, but I'm resolute on none for February.

Hormones hate themselves. You don’t even question your sanity when you’re crying because you bought smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy. It seems like a very valid thing to be upset about. And I never really cry usually.

Just home relaxing before I get up to do a bit of cleaning. Want to steam the floors and clean sitting room before I sit down and chill for the night.
