Homemade Lamb burger with all the works, and chunky chips. And enjoying a few Bourbons and Tonic.

Rows that looks delicious

Any room in the Inn

I had a spicy beef noodle dish, a little to hot for my liking as my poor mouth is on fire

Mam of 4 · 24-09-2020 9:50pm

Two slices of lightly toasted bread, a runny fried egg on top and a jumbo sausage on the side. I saved a piece of bread for the mop up. OJ.

Cadbury twirl...they have a new orange one and it's really nice. If you like Terrys chocolate orange you'd like it. I was dipping mine into Bailey's the other night. Pure indulgence:)

Sriracha blackout... Nope. Where did you source this from? Do you know the scoville rating?

I got it in the Asian store near Grafton Street. It's a let down to be honest. It tastes pretty much the exact same as the regular hot siracha. It's more sweet and chemically than hot. Scoville rating probably not too high!
I got this the other day though and it's gorgeous. Hot but citrusy and flavoursome ðŸ˜‹

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.

Grandeeod · 25-09-2020 8:18pm

Still scoopin' and watching movies. I have a nice bit of sirloin that I'm gonna have with mushrooms and chips later. A spicy sauce from the Asian shop for over the steak. Nothing new really. I have it often and it's feckin brill.:D

Ted_YNWA · 26-09-2020 11:00am

Some homemade pancakes & fresh fruit.

Graces7 · 26-09-2020 1:12pm

Cauliflower, and sliced cheese; wonderful combination.

Grandeeod · 26-09-2020 5:51pm

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!

GoneHome · 26-09-2020 6:40pm

Just after a lovely egg salad sandwich and a glass of milk as had a big lunch earlier, now to settle down for the night in front of the fire with a few cold bottles of Heineken.

Graces7 · 26-09-2020 6:57pm

Temptamperu · 26-09-2020 7:17pm

I'm having Thai Red Curry with Chilli Rice and a Naan Bread. A few cans of Stella to wash it down.

Rows Grower · 26-09-2020 7:42pm

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.

igCorcaigh · 26-09-2020 11:23pm

Pork schnitzels with beetroot relish and green bean tomato stew. Lemons.

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!

Temptamperu · 27-09-2020 1:52pm

I fry the rice with a small spoon chilli powder and and fresh chillis and peas

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.

Grandeeod · 27-09-2020 5:34pm

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!

Rows Grower · 27-09-2020 5:39pm

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.

IAMAMORON · 27-09-2020 5:54pm

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.

I was lazy and ordered a Kebab Box from my favorite place. Good times!!

Mystery Egg · 27-09-2020 8:10pm

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:

I feel a smoky bacon or maybe sausage sandwich coming on... with honey and butter of course

Grandeeod · 28-09-2020 9:56pm

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.

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.

Fair play to you Grandeeod, you’re a lucky man that appreciates it.

Same here, we have a son that doesn’t complain one bit about the restrictions he has had to adjust to since going back to school. It can’t be easy for them and they are inspirational in the way they cope with things and don’t complain.

Shout out to the teachers too, very stressful work in these times.

Those Tesco stroganoff are the bomb.

I picked all day,had had crusty roll after work with ham,grated cheese, cherry tomatoes and sweet chilli sauce ( loads of butter of course) with Tayto bistro crisps, just had a bowl of honey nut loops with freezing cold milk before hitting the leaba.

Can anyone recommend rice that is similar to fried rice from the Chinese or would I have to make it myself, looking for something that you could just put in the microwave.

I tried the microwavable fried rice from Aldi, and I think there should be a lawsuit.

You're better off keeping some rice in the fridge overnight, and some simple ingredients will give you a decent 5 minute fried rice. (never use freshly cooked rice!)

There was a fried rice discussion recently, perhaps in this thread? If you need ingredient inspiration.

I buy the microwave packs from Aldi but I've never seen a fried option, my lot like the different varieties but they always get fried if we get a Chinese. I'll try and find where it was discussed here,thanks.

Someone mentioned sesame oil as an ingredient. I would agree.

My own suggestion also would be to invest in a bottle of Clearspring tamari. It's soy sauce basically, but lovely flavour.

I wouldn't be afraid to use a little msg either!

Don't buy the Aldi fried rice pouch, it is awful.

Porklife · 29-09-2020 1:58pm

Pan fried haddock with garden peas, spinach, rocket, chillies, poached eggs, cheddar and parmesan cheese with sumac yougurt and a rake load of lemon and spices. Yummy...need a new phone, the camera won't work so you'll just have to believe me that it looks daammmm good:)

I have never ever come across a pre-packed fried rice that matches the Chinese takeaway. If you want to cook it DD, you need to boil the rice, let it go cold, oil in Wok, add cold rice, stir/pat like mad to make sure the lumpy bits are gone, add light soy sauce and salt for taste and colour. If you want egg fried rice, there's even more to it. For the sake of 2.40 odd, I'd collect it from the local. I get two days out of a portion if its just for me.

In Killarney they are at the end of the ready meal aisle that faces the butcher/deli counter, I don't know about other shops but they probably all have the same layout. From memory I think they are 600grams and less than a fiver, there is no shortage of beef in them.

I'll be getting another couple tomorrow, savage value and a dish neither of us can master at home. I like it with the Aldi or Lidl pouch of fried rice, a lazy decent meal.

Just had a homemade venison bacon cheeseburger in a brioche bun with chips and peas. Out of this world, can't even think about dessert.
