    Oh I think I might have heard of that crowd

    I generally don't like Sriracha at all, find it far too sweet and not what I would call a chilli sauce.

    My favourites tend to be Mics.
    Nok are pretty good too, more fruity and vegetal.

    I love Mics. I agree about siracha, I don't know why I keep buying it. I should learn to make my own, I'd save a fortune:)

    Did a big shop today in Aldi and Lidl so spoiled for choice for dinner, on the drive back decided on duck with roasted potatoes and veg.

    Being the big dope that I am read the instructions on the back of the baby potatoes that said nuke for 10-12 minutes but never read the bit which said that was for 500g and not the 1kg that was in the bag. Nuked the spuds and threw them in the oven covered in the fat from the pre fried duck expecting everything to be ready together only to find some of the spuds like rocks when I took the duck out to rest.

    Halved the bastards and fried them in the fat while the duck was resting and got away with it, always read the instructions carefully.

    Meal cost about a fiver each and was enjoyed with a glass of red and followed by a pain au chocolate and another glass of Merlot.

    I made a Chilli con carne today. Never use a jar of sauce. Chilli powder and chopped tomatoes do the trick nicely. Mrs G and Ms G had it over chilli Nachos with melted cheese on top. I'm having mine over spicy wedges with cheese over the wedges and more cheese on top of the chilli. Mrs G wants it again tomorrow.:eek: Luckily I always make enough for freezer portions. Two pound of steak mince goes a long way!

    Herself is going to her mother's tomorrow so we had our Sunday roast this evening instead.

    No complaints here, the gravy alone was an experience never mind the boned and rolled venison that literally melted in the mouth.

    I'll be out again at dawn in pursuit of the healthiest, most organic meat that money can't buy.

    Lol! That squeezy lube bottle on the side was actually ginger puree from Aldi. Actually quite good.

    Did you make it yourself? What way do you make chilli rice?
    I'm desperately in need of comfort food and a cure. Worst. Hangover. Ever.
    It's a toss up between bangers and mash smothered in butter or roast chicken with roast potatoes and mash swimming in salt and butter. If only I could trick someone to make these things happen for me!

    Snap. Well, sort of. Had pork schnitzel today, with jacket potatoes and sliced cabbage grated carrot and leeks fried together. Was nice. Used pork seasoning on the meat first, before the flour egg and breadcrumbs. Tasty.

    Mrs G and I thought about going for a pint in a pub earlier. We haven't been in one since early March. Dropped into Supervalu to pick up a few bits and I spotted some Striploins for 9 quid. Hereford Striploin all the way from Watergrasshill in the Republic of Cork. Gotta say they looked pretty inviting. Treat yourself says Mrs G. Can't have a couple of pints and these steaks says I. We're watching the oul money at the moment as I have very very little of it coming in due the bastard virus. Feck the pints. Get the steaks says the love of my life.

    So I'm having a cheap beer from Aldi instead of a 5 quid pint and looking forward the steak with mash and mushy peas later. A splash of bog standard Bisto gravy for the splash down. Happy out!

    A couple of Lidl buns crusty from the airfryer, laughing cow instead of butter, vintage white Charleville and mature red cheese with a bit of coleslaw and some leftover roast from yesterday. Happy out with a cold can of Kortenhoef to wash them down.

    About to sit down to slow cooked Beef Cheeks marinated in thyme, garlic and Chilean Pinot Noir. I am complimenting with Potato Fondant, roasted carrot marinated in Balsamic, Rosemary and fresh Irish Honey completely obliterated in Sea salt and a dash of dried condensed pepper.

    I am starting with scallop pan fried in garlic and chili.

    I am washing all down with an oak aged Domaine Christian Moreau Chablis that has been in the fridge awaiting it's demise all week. It is really really cold.

    Your meals always sound so extravagant and delicious! Are you a chef?
    Potato fondant is unreal...go for it!

    Currently doing a bit of damage to a box of Nestle Dairy Box chocolates that I received as a gift from my very nice boss.

    Gotta say, these are not great chocolates. :(

    That's not stopping me though! :pac:

    After a stressful day at school (Ms G) the real hero that she is, it's great to welcome her back everyday after wearing a mask for most the day and five days a week. She folds her uniform, does the homework and then I make sure she has a decent dinner. Tonight it was loin of pork, mash and gravy with garden peas and carrots.. Mrs G had the same.

    I'm having the second Hereford Striploin tonight and serving it up with chips and pepper sauce in a mo. A movie and peace time. Considering how this bastard virus has affected the house, I'm happy enough.

    Honey?

    Well I guess maple syrup does go with bacon, so...

    I picked up a beef stroganoff (premade) from tesco earlier, because I'm lazy. Going to make basmati rice and sugar snaps to go with it.
