Cheers G! It was a bit of a long wait for it to cook but got all the veggies sorted etc. I love lamb though and it tasted unreal at the end. Loads of mint sauce and you can't go wrong. I'm sorted for the next three days now for dinner. Be grand, just heat up the leftovers.

Really enjoyed the fit food thai curry and would buy it again. I'm still hungry though but that's just me at the moment.
I bought Galaxy chocolate chip cookies and was excited cos its my favourite chocolate bar.
Really disappointed. They're so bland. Any of you guys going to buy them i wouldn't bother. Hardly any chocolate chips either.

I was going to say that. Considering you probably need a lot of food right now that dinner wouldn't fill you. I'm glad you liked it though. I felt a bit hungry after maybe a few hours of eating it but it is a healthy eating vibe I suppose.

Haha. I didn't spot a Green one. They have Burrito Bowl and wholewheat pasta choices too.

Spaghetti bolognese was tonight’s dinner and some left over for tomorrow’s lunch

Grandeeod · 11-04-2021 10:02pm

Bacon and cheese fries. Bloody great tasting stuff. Followed it up with a sticky toffee pudding.

That looks awesome Grand, we had sweet and sour chicken, home made, well the sweet and sour sauce was made by Uncle Ben but the rest was made between us, rice and chips also, lovely.

Graces7 · 12-04-2021 4:27am

Just enjoyed a small bacon butty - smoky rashers drizzled with honey of course on half a white burger bun. And my usual instant coffee which I love. I specialise in midnight feasts... Freedom! Happy!

Now I can sleep in as long or as short as I please. Bliss!

I have read your blog, it was very helpful for me. I want to say thank you to you. I have bookmarked your website to read more new articles from you.

Fillet steak with buttery baby potatoes and garlic, mushrooms and wilted spinach
Take that rainy Monday!

Fathom · 12-04-2021 9:26pm

Just walked through the coffeehouse door. Nice lad bought me a java. Sipping it now.

Autosport · 12-04-2021 9:34pm

Finished off the spaghetti bolognese for lunch and scrambled egg and brown bread for dinner

We are a bit distant. Time warp us Porklife. I'm sitting on the Pacific coast. Wondering if the next California or ocean earthquake will wash me away. Ha! Raises cup east. Cheers Porklife!

I live near there and keep meaning to go in. Was it nice? It looks good but i cant imagine the bao bun tasting that nice..it looks a bit stodgy and bland but maybe I'm wrong..

Definitely worth the visit, the bun tasted how it looked just a plain holder for the filling, it would absorb a sauce very well tho if you were to try one of there other buns..

Mam of 4 · 13-04-2021 6:56pm

Pasta, pesto and garlic bread , yep , I over ate

Autosport · 13-04-2021 6:59pm

Shepard’s pie this evening

SineadSpears · 13-04-2021 9:36pm

I miss city center so much. cant wait to have a stroll around once lockdown is lifted.

mini-me was having frozen sushi earlier today and it made me feel strung out for a Kokora

Got a takeaway pizza tonight because I was too lazy to do shopping today ..

Now you have my tummy grumbling loudly with hunger in this coffeehouse. People are looking, too Autosport.

igCorcaigh · 14-04-2021 1:06am

Yum!

Porklife · 14-04-2021 4:39pm

I've always found cous cous boring even in cafes where they dress it up but it's quick, easy and healthy so I've decided to get into it.
Lunch is cous cous with chillies, peanuts, spinach, peppers, lemon juice, garlic and hoummos. Surprisingly tasty!

Fathom · 14-04-2021 5:49pm

Coffee cake. Rich, dark eye-opening brew to sip with it.

sporina · 14-04-2021 5:50pm

just had a post work snack of some wholegrain rice cakes with hummus and chargrilled pepper relish.. and of course, cracked black pepper.. yum..

Whats the weather like? Not too bad here.

Mrs G cooked a nice chicken crown with roast spuds and stuff for herself and Ms G. Looked great and they demolished it. I'm breaking out my wooden slab later for a feed of something. But first a well earned beer!

Yo Grandeeod. Just past 10AM Pacific. Sunny. 53F and warming. Dead calm. Flowers blooming everywhere. Many in shorts and Ts. Delightful. :cool: Later I may have fish and chips. Lazy me. I'll buy them at a nearby fish place.

I might get myself a wooden slab. I'm eating so much at the moment i sometimes use the chopping board

In fact, I'll be using it later for my 'take away take home pizza'. Picked one up in Lidl yesterday having not tried it before. Hopefully its nice. Pizza tastes better eaten off a wooden slab, even if it is a chopping board!

Ms G gave me one for Christmas. A Guinness one designed for steaks, but I'm using it for lots of stuff like burgers, wings and of course all kinds of steaks. It's an inch thick.:D Dunnes have a range of wooden wear at the moment. Looks like they are for salad and cakes. A rectangular board for a tenner. Fine for using your hands, but I wouldn't cut steak on it. They look great for pizza slices, burgers and general finger food.

I love couscous with just cumin, or with preserved lemons and herbs. I find the wholemeal version better. So quick and easy! Great with fish.

Grandeeod · 14-04-2021 7:43pm

I went out with a lovely Czech girl in the late 90s and I mention her because she introduced me to couscous. I had never heard of it before, but that was the norm back then. She made me a chicken dish with it along with peppers and pickled veg. I may try a couscous dish soon. Considering my travels, I know I've had it since, mainly in salads, but would love to try a hot dish with it again.

IrishLad90 · 14-04-2021 7:56pm

Tonight's dish comes with no photo as i tucked straight in

DC chunky cod, mushy peas, Garlic roast potatoes and raw spinach (gotta get more greens in)
Absolutely delish, washed down with a red ale

Autosport · 14-04-2021 8:03pm

Butchers steak burgers with garden peas and sweet potato wedges

Grandeeod · 14-04-2021 10:19pm

Well the slab had a combo of Buffalo wings, Potato salad, fries and BBQ dip. It was very tasty.:D I washed it down with a big glass of bainne.

Porklife · 14-04-2021 10:28pm

I also brought out the chopping boar..eh..slab for an oven pizza. Not bad but has no place calling itself takeaway take home pizza. The base was like concrete! Still ate it all though

A frequent favourite in our house is chicken thighs deboned, marinaded in a combo of ketchup/soy/honey and roasted on a bed of peppers onions and celery. 45 mins at 180 gets the skin crispy and delicious. Serve it with the veg and warm cous cous. The cous cous is a boil in the bag version put into a bowl, and add 350ml of hot chicken stock. Leave covered with tin foil for 15 mins and it's ready, just fluff up with a fork and add the juice of half a lemon and lots of black pepper.

Also a big fan of giant cous cous, love to serve that cold in a salad with roasted aubergine, feta cheese and spinach.

What's a hot cup? I'm thinking of ordering Thai food this evening. Feeling kinda queasy all day though so not sure it's the best idea.

I've been putting it off for a year! I used to really enjoy Thai food at lunchtime in our local Lana joint. They don't deliver as far out as me, but I can collect. My mind is made up. I was considering an Indian for my wedding anniversary, but I'm going with Thai.:)
