    I love tomatoes. Raw, fried, it doesn't matter. If you're cooking anything, mushrooms, bacon etc or anything it tastes so ,so much better with a tomato cooked with it. Even a plain tomato sandwich with salt is glorious.
    Oh I bought a craft beer pack from the OTB ads and loving Buxton pale ale. Bitter at first but it is 6.8% !

    So agree. Tomatoes with everything.
    You can get some very nice canned cherry tomatoes now too, really useful.

    Toast with a slice of good tomato and sea salt = heaven!

    I'm no beer snob but Carling is absolute piss..Budweiser wouldn't even acknowledge Carling at a party!
    That said I'd still murder a cold one now;)

    I had hot chocolate made by melting mint chocolate lindt in a bowl and adding it to warm milk. Didn't work...there were lumps of unmelted chocolate and little bits floating through it...don't try this at home kids!

    Agree with the Carling opinion.. horse piss, someone left it here at the weekend, I now know why !!
    And there was nothing left to drink...

    Bet the chocolate experiment was still tasty..

    I remember years ago visiting my sister in London and we broke students. On my last night we scrimped together enough money to buy a rake load of cans and figured Carling would be the best bang for our buck, we only had about 10 pounds between us but managed to get about 12 cans. We were standing in the queue in Sainsburys feeling proper classy with our cans on the conveyor belt and this man behind us threw a packet of paracetamol on top and goes 'you might need them after'. Boy was he right! The flight home next morning always stands out as one of the worst hangovers I've ever had, thank god we only the 10 pounds!

    I'm meeting my friend for lunch and have a hankering for a jacket potato smothered in butter, salt and cheese with a big pint of Carling to wsh it down :P

    I attempted to have a tuna salad thing and it was rank. It had layers of some kind of fat in it. Threw it in the bin.

    For lunch, I'm gonna have a personal cold Winter's day fav: A bowl of sweetcorn (a fair whack of it), chilli con carne (defrosted from a batch cook) spread over the top, apply a fair squeeze of peri-peri sauce and mix it all together. All in, only takes about five minutes cooking time and you're ready to go :)

    You've described my food hell:)
    I cannot stand sweetcorn almost to phobia levels like if it touches my other food I wont eat any of it!

    Wednesday night beers. No video chats anymore. People doing their own thing. It used to be in the local pub and that was always great when I was off work. But feck it, I can enjoy a few at home due to the great deals on offer the last few weeks.:D

    I made Mrs Gs fave of chips, beans and egg with bread and butter. You'd know she worked in England for a few years back in the day.:eek: Me and Ms G had a lovely homemade chicken curry with rice.

    Did someone mention chilli con carne?

    Funnily enough we haven't had it for a long time, I think the last time was in Cafe Mexicana in Cork city but herself went at it today with a lash of venison and all the bells and whistles, proper textbook stuff and it tasted like it. It was on the hob for two and a half hours at least and no Yankee Candle would challenge the aroma. Plenty left over for freezing too but I don't think it'll make it to the Christmas.

    There's still a good few of them Lindt pralines left and they went down well too. Cold Carlsberg as an accompaniment for both courses.

    Onion rings with hot sauce. Burning lips feels good I will have a cool beer to wash the pain away.

    I used to go there a lot. My favourite was the pancakes with ice cream, sauce and nuts. That place has been going strong for years.

    It was tasty indeed! Better than ketchup I think with onion rings. I don't have vinegar here will have to get some in when shops go quiet.

    My breakfast at the weekends is grilled tomato spread onto toasted ciabatta bread (done on griddle pan with olive oil) and pesto. Bit of salt. Lovely.

    You wouldn't throw up the recipe would ya? It's one dish I love and can't get right.

    Just prepped the veg there for thai curry this evening, chopping red onions always ends in tears. Usually fine and think I'm finally getting away with it and then the last bit hits me like being pepper sprayed in the shagging eyes.

    Sure thing RG, taken from BBC good food.

    Cook 1 onion, sliced, in a medium pan for 10 mins until soft. Add a crushed clove of garlic (or puree) and a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted, add 250g of sliced mushrooms, I seasoned with a decent pinch of salt and pepper at this point. Allow to cook until mushrooms are soft.

    At this point the recipe called for flash frying a fillet of beef cut into cubes to seal, but instead I used stewing beef which id boiled for 90 mins until tender.

    In a jug combine 100ml of beef stock (I used boiled water and a beef stock cube) and whisk in 1tsp of English mustard and 150g of creme fraiche. Whisk until combined, add to the mushrooms/beef and leave to simmer for 5 mins.

    Served mine inside cannelloni as we had some fresh ones in the press to be used but goes just as well rice or potatoes

    Many thanks for that, will give it a bash next week and report back.

    Can't bate the basics!

    It's an actual miracle the rest of that loaf of bread survived here until it did but original dinner plan was scrapped and we just had two more slices each with chips, rashers and fried eggs.

    It was like travelling back to childhood times on holiday in a caravan and not a word spoken at the table only smiles all around, not even a drink touched until the plates were empty.

    That hand cut fresh white bread is awesome.
