You have to par boil them then roast in rapeseed oil. I don't go by times and temperatures though, I just mosey along with it.

Batch cooking from the freezer is a great help. Mrs G had a Chilli and Ms G had Cottage Pie. I've thawed some Pork Chops. I'll cook them up with something later as I had Chicken sandwiches and Cream of Chicken soup earlier.

I wanted a beer so I'm having a beer. Gonna enjoy a few actually. I also found a nice selection box that I had forgotten about.:D

I thought I was the only one! Slainte! Had a Frys Turkish earlier.

The last of the baby spuds were par boiled and cooled. (a beer) Then they were sliced. (a beer) I chopped mushrooms (Codds from Carlow are the best) and a big onion. (a beer) The pork chops were taken out of the fridge. Nicely thawed. (a beer)

So now its the chops in the oven to cook until nice and tender and then sliced spuds, onion and mushrooms in the pan with butter.

A beer.

Not usually associated with breakfast

Greek yoghurt, oats, grapes and strawberries. Drizzle of maple syrup over the top to take away the sharpness of the yoghurt.

no. But I was feeling sorry for myself because I made steak, fries & pepper sauce for dinner yesterday & I didn't enjoy it at all. So very bold treat breakfast was needed.

Sure I was going to eat it later on in the day anyway so it all even's out, right

VW 1 · 06-01-2021 12:17pm

That's definitely the best way to do it, food is all about happiness. Sometimes it means a salad, sometimes a dessert for breakfast. Whatever fits the moment!

Grandeeod · 06-01-2021 8:17pm

Ms G had a hot chicken fillet sambo with fries. Mrs G had her portion of Lasagne with rocket, coleslaw and fries. I'm having the same in a bit!

bassy · 06-01-2021 8:31pm

VW 1 · 06-01-2021 8:36pm

Inspired by the lovely steak/onion combo I saw here the other day, today's dinner was oven baked spuds, onions, mushrooms, sirloin steak and all swimming in thick pepper sauce.

Few beers and a food coma for the football, the only bright spot on a bleak horizon after today's govt announcement!

Fathom · 06-01-2021 10:24pm

Crunchy tacos with folded hard shell. Pulled beef. Grated cheese. Diced tomatoes, onions, jalapenos. Dallups of guacamole and sour cream. Splash of salsa. Amber beer chaser. YUM.

Grandeeod · 06-01-2021 11:58pm

So after Ms and Mrs Gs bellies were full, I watched a movie. Then Mrs G reminds me to phone my parents, not that I feckin need reminding. I was constantly reminded to the degree that my lasagne was burn't to fook while I was on the phone. I tried to rescue it but not happening. Dried and burnt no matter what you do with it. Apparently its all my fault.:rolleyes: So no dinner despite the fact that I'm starving and really tired.:mad:

Toasted two cheeses and ham sambo on Pezo brown bread with relish.

IAMAMORON · 07-01-2021 11:28am

Rice Cakes coated in Orange and Lime infused dark chocolate ( 77% ) dashed with crushed pecan and dried caramel.

Washed down with freshly ground Colombian coffee and whipped cream.

I am smoking full strength, filtered Gauloises. Like a trooper.

I bought a medley of fresh Lemon and Lime in Smithfield this morning. I have a litre of Bombay Sapphire chilling in the fridge with 2 large bottles of San Pellegrino and 6 cans of Schweppes tonic. I have crushed fresh garden mint with soft brown sugar and will start on Gin Mojitos after noon. I am going to get absolutely baloobas.

Rows Grower · 07-01-2021 11:46am

The last of my garden mint was picked last week and is currently resting in a fridge, far from here. I should have picked it all as the cold spell has finished the rest off.

My coffee machine broke last week and I am still awaiting it's replacement which was due to be delivered by DPD two days ago.

On this day at this time 28 years ago I was drinking a drop of single malt with my father and brothers getting ready to walk down the aisle and start a new phase of my life. 9 months later, to the day, my wife and I became parents.

We're still together but if that coffee machine doesn't arrive soon things could change.

Tea, I'm drinking tea.

Awwwww what a lovely post, aside from the drinking tea part obviously...tea..tastes like someone squeezed a dirty dish dishcloth into a mug and heated it up to me. I've always thought of coffee as teas older cooler brother who smokes cigars and wears a leather jacket. Tea would probably tell on him!

@iamamoron once again I'm super jealous of your descriptive drinking antics, you make everything sound so delectable.

I just had porridge which I had to force down. No appetite these last few days, feeling anxious so trying to eat little and often and mostly bland but nutritious food. Not much fun and I'm hoping my usual love of food returns soon.

Thanks Mystery Egg, things have taken a turn for the better after being dealt a crushing blow by Curry's who a while ago contacted me to say the delay was on their side and to expect delivery in the next couple of days.

At the back of my almost empty head I had a vague memory of using some coffee filters many years ago. Mentioned it to my beautiful spouse who confirmed I wasn't dreaming and said "I should be able to put my hand on them". Not only did she find them but she also found the plastic yokeabob that holds them on top of the cup.

Tassimo pods surgically opened with a knife and proper coffee is back, enjoyed with some wholegrain rye crispbread and balsamic and red onion cheese fresh out of the wax.

Life is good, what a beautiful day.

wildwillow · 07-01-2021 1:16pm

Congratulations on 28 happy years, Rows Grower.

The garden mint will raise up as soon as the cold spell goes, and you could be lucky and find the existing leaves survive this cold spell.

Enjoying my third and last cup of coffee for the day here.....just to make you feel sorry for yourself.

Edit to say I missed your last post. Hope the coffee hits the spot.

You don't boil them , you can simmer or roast. They only take a few minutes.

I'm having digger's duck spring rolls. Not feeling like eating much today.

You don't know what simmer means? Hot water not boiling let the veg cook in it. Like the water is bubbling but not boiling.

Asparagus is usually steamed as whole stalks, but it can be steamed cut into bite-size pieces if you like. Whether you steam it whole or chopped, place asparagus in a steamer rack and set over boiling water. Cover and cook until asparagus is tender, 4 to 8 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus stalks
