I slow Roasted a shoulder of mutton today. Rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. I didn't fancy a large dinner so I made homemade kebabs. Pitta bread, shredded iceberg Lettuce and thinly sliced red onion.
I crisped up the mutton on the George Foreman and had garlic mayo and hot Sause in the kebabs. Very very nice

Looks gorgeous Bassy.
I love noodles, and that looks really tasty and healthy.

igCorcaigh · 16-02-2021 10:25pm

Not hungry at all today, I got up late .

Coffee and banana.
Couple of beers now.

I have a ham and cheese omelette leftover from yesterday, to reheat, with maybe some peas?
Dunno. Not in a very culinary mood.

Might just snack on tortilla chips and salsa too.

(Edit: I forgot how good peas are, with lemon juice and herbs de Provence)

Grandeeod · 17-02-2021 6:53pm

Sausage casserole and mash.

17-02-2021 7:13pm

Chicken and chickpea tagine. New recipe, needs some tweaking but it'll do

Rows Grower · 17-02-2021 7:45pm

Very thinly sliced roast beef with the usual suspects, melt in the mouth.

IrishLad90 · 17-02-2021 7:48pm

Day one of lent and ive folded and ordered in a chipper
Coke and a dinner box, going to see what is on sky or maybe catch up with Snowpiercer on Netflix

beerguts · 17-02-2021 8:41pm

I had two fillets of cod and some gluten free bread for dinner.
For lent I have committed to restricting myself to 1900 calories a day. A few more hours to go until the first day is down!!

A Roast breast of chicken on the bone. Crispy and good. Some Szechuan sauce and chips to go with it. I'll either pull the chicken apart and dip or pour the sauce all over it. A homemade "European" meal from many a Chinese takeaway years ago.:D

I find that the Chinese takeaway szechuan sauce does not have any Szechuan peppercorns.

I have some of them, and I love the tingly effect they have, but how to use them without the grittiness...

I might try flavouring an oil with them.

rice with chicken and asparagus and some soy sauce.

Roast beef and vintage cheddar on (a friends) homemade brown bread with coffee for breakfast in bed.

Only place to be as it's raining cats and dogs outside.

Tagliatelle amatriciana, with the sauce obviously made from scratch.

Alas, it didn't survive long enough for pictures :pac:

Bottle of Peroni and a savage measure of Jameson. Last meeting just done for the week and writing up my to dos list for next week with the Wolfe Tones blasting away in the background.

Jaysus I'd love to be off to the pub this evening. Wouldn't normally be like this but today I'm chomping for pints.

God, I'd love to be drinking at home even but the pub on a rainy day like today would be heaven. Big open fire, toasted sandwiches and a few pints of creamy Guinness...drool

Meanwhile in reality im attempting to make cannnelloni but im just making a big mess and may bin it and order in.

igCorcaigh · 19-02-2021 6:16pm

Oh open fire and pints! Stop!
No more Friday feeling these days.

Noodles planned for later, but speaking of pasta, I have nearly all of the ingredients for a puttanesca. I even have capers. Just need to get to Lidl for my free anchovies.

Grandeeod · 19-02-2021 6:19pm

Please. please I beg you all. No talk of pints in pubs with open fires.:D

Donegal catch cod in batter mushy peas and chips.

Cottage pie this evening

Went very old school tonight, simple and easy , eggs done in a cup on top of the cooker with toast done on the top of the cooker also , perfect!

Currently drinking a Lidl mojito with loads of ice with a few sour cream and onion Pringles and watching an 80s chart show.

Sorry , have a Stanley cooker/range here . Crack two eggs into a cup/mug, salt and pepper, knob of butter , onto the cooker . Keep stirring with a spoon as otherwise it'll stick to the bottom of the cup as it's cooking . Somewhat similar to scrambled egg really but a totally different taste imo .
Can also be done on gas/electric hob by putting the cup into a saucepan with an inch or two of boiling water in it .
Not much help really am I :pac:

Egg in a cup! Grew up eating this. The best bits were the crispy bits at the bottom.

There was only 2 mugs in the house that you could use. These types of 'champion' mugs that would survive years of being put directly onto the hob for cookin.

It was a sad day when the parentals got a new gaf with convection hobs putting an end to egg in the cup breakfasts with toast.

Like how chocolate is melted?
Effectively a bain marie?

Genius!

My scrambled eggs always stick to the pot. This seems like a much better way.

Crunchy nut cornflakes

Just Marie's bread from the Aldi thread, with Dunnes Stores chicken and stuffing filler, and Baxters red slaw. Extra pumpkin seeds.

Yum!

I love spag bol!!

I'm eating nothing yet because I have to decide whether or not to eat a load of chocolate or have a proper dinner

Rows Grower · 20-02-2021 8:47pm

A minimal effort and cost dinner. Got two fillet steaks yesterday that were 30% off and a pack of ready made gratin potatoes for 1.50.

Chopped some veg and bunged everything into the oven at the same time. For a meal that cost about the same as a Big Mac it wasn't too shabby at all.

As usual RG you have made something fantastic. And all for a decent price. We are hunters looking for bargains.:D Did steak and chips last night with fried mushrooms and red pepper.

Tonight its a few scoops for me with the love of my life and great tunes. I have a dirty chinese chicken curry, fried rice and chips on speed dial.:D
