Had a Beef Chilli with Rice and Nachos. Have a few cans of stella now.

Grandeeod · 30-09-2020 6:22pm

Wednesday night beers and fast food afterwards, except it's at home and all from Aldi!

Beers are the usual, but I'm experimenting with a chicken jalfrezi and pilau rice that cost 2.50.:eek: Also bought triple cooked beef dripping chips to have on the side. I'm hoping it works out because the price is amazing and I'd stock up for emergencies.

The ladies had chicken maryland. Ms G with gravy and chunky chips. Mrs G with sweet chili sauce, side salad and wedges.

Chips N' Mayo with a nice tin of Coca Cola.

I had those chips out of the oven about two weeks ago and they are the best frozen chips I ever tasted, 1.49 a bag I think they were.

Got my strogonoff today in Tesco (4.50) and had it with the baby potatoes that were on offer at the weekend for 50 cents a kilo.

Potatoes were boiled then crushed with homemade garlic butter added before being lashed into the oven.

Where would you be going for a fiver?

Washed down with a bottle of O Hara's Leann Folláin, take me now Lord.

Jaysus that Stroganoff looks great. I'm lining it up for Friday with Potato gratin.

Autosport · 30-09-2020 7:17pm

Lasagne and garlic bread

It's unreal, what I call a good soupy dinner and it is top quality.

There was a place in Kenmare charging 29.95 and getting it for half that portion size of a Beef Guinness stew before March this year.

Settled on rashers , sausages and egg , with left over mash fried up in the pan , with a dollop of brown sauce on the side .
(Fried potato = brown sauce !)

You just went to Def Con 4 with that grub Mam! I can actually visualize it.

igCorcaigh · 30-09-2020 8:04pm

Was going to make a chicken curry, with all the ready made prep pack from Hari Ghotra, but can't be arsed now.

It'll be fish and rice with peas.

The Chef had shepherd's pie

Good Mam!

I cannot emphasise how good this is.
Leftovers are the bestovers.

GoneHome · 30-09-2020 8:17pm

Chicken Maryland, veg and a bit of a side salad, very nice it was too.

Grandeeod · 30-09-2020 10:21pm

Well lads! That Chicken Jalfrezi and Pilau rice combined with the beef dripping chips from Aldi was an absolute bang on experience. A nice kick from the Curry too. As RG said those chips were top notch. I did them in the Airfryer. Feckin hell!

8 out of 10 from me. A great last min/emergency meal, but the beef dripping chips are defo goin on the every week list!

Stocked up on some ready meals (i know) for the freezer and lots and lots of garlic bread! I can't wait :pac:

Barry's and sugary donuts for me. Might try the Bonne Maman salted caramel sauce i picked up the other day on the side

For dipping like, be rude not to!

Rows Grower · 01-10-2020 8:39pm

Had a roast breast of chicken stuffed with cheddar and wrapped in bacon with mash, peas, carrots and peppercorn sauce. Not too shabby at all for something that cost about 2 euro in total.

My local Tesco had no Stroganoff left today. Fookers!:D

Had breast of chicken with wholemeal pasta and tomato and basil sauce. Few cans now.

This might sound crazy but you'd be amazed at the amount of lurkers on this forum. It might be coincidental but people could have read about it here and bought it.
Before I mentioned something I liked in one of the food threads and the next time I went to get it, it was sold out.

On topic, earlier had a plate of onion rings. Not chipper, Green Isle. Not bad.

Yes, just lay them out on baking paper on a tray, turn a few times.

I've had them too, Supervalu sell both. They're both nice in fairness.

I dug up the spuds today from the garden. Very pleasantly surprised with the haul that i got.
I decided to make a cottage pie with it so I used up some of the mince in the freezer from the heifer I got killed last year adding onions and carrots into the mix. Some home made gravy from the pan the mince was in and nice buttery mash on top, into the oven for the gut of 45 mins. I cheated and got a large bag of chips from supermacs when it was nearly done as a side and steamed some french beans.
It was ducking divine.

That sounds absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I'd love right now.

Had a nice few creative writing beers with Mrs G. who had her din dins earlier. I'm gonna have some more Aldi delights. A chicken Jalfrezi, pilau rice and those great beef dripping chips. It does the job! I may have something posher tomorrow.:D

Alejandro68 · 03-10-2020 12:02am

I made homemade Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken with snow peas and carrots for myself and flatmates. Now I am relaxing with a Bourbon and tonic.

SineadSpears · 03-10-2020 2:20am

From the butchers got some bbq pork belly things, & another dish with noodles & sticky shredded chicken in it.
Got a bag of fresh stir fry veg in tesco to go with them. Fried the veg up with white pepper & some sesame oil.

I was dying to get home to have it, but it was a total let down!:(

Noodle dish was waaay too sweet. & pork belly is not my thing anyway.
Also opened a jar of satay sauce(Yeo's) to have some on the side, but it tasted more like tikka masala paste than a peanut sauce. Disaster:D

Think I'll try making it from scratch myself another time, & with bbq ribs instead because I really was looking forward to it

Men. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

I got my new Foreman and have chili burgers.
Will be rustling up a toasted special later though.

After my grub last night being very common and cheap

I've tried to step up a gear for my dinner tonight.

A couple of beers have been had while watching tellie. Mrs G is happy on the OJ after trying a carbon copy of my meal last night. She agrees that it's an ideal emergency dinner, although she had french fries with her's. Ms G had a chicken fillet with mash and gravy. Milled it. Her favourite, But let me mention the gravy....

....I bought the spice of life beef gravy. Ms G wasn't mad about it, but I highly recommend it. My dinner now is a Sirloin steak at medium, Digger's battered onion rings (because onion rings were discussed here over the last few days and gave me the urge) and more beef dripping chips with that spice of life beef gravy. Conna get dug into it shortly.:p

Rows Grower · 04-10-2020 9:27am

Couple of our own eggs but everything else was from Lidl yesterday, what would we do without these German shops?

Maple thick cut rashers (5 for 99c) and a honey and mustard and cumberland sausage out of the airfryer, unreal flavours. Mushrooms fried in butter because its Sunday and why not.

The Brennan's wholegrain bread was too fresh to toast, beautiful. Tea now, coffee to follow and there might be a couple of pints in the local later on.

The job there RG. I went lighter. Fried egg on toast. Jumbo sausage and hash brown. OJ. Mrs G just poured me a beer.

Too anxious to eat atm so coca cola. It's a feicer cause I'm starving looking at all the pics and hearing what everyone else is eating

Mañana!

Rows Grower · 05-10-2020 6:04pm

Decided to get a bit of practice in today in case of another lockdown. Not long out of the oven, and will be a nice side to a tesco strogonoff and baby potatoes.

IAMAMORON · 05-10-2020 6:44pm

Pot Boiled Bacon, oven roasted for 2 hours and served with sliced pineapple and grainy Dijon Bearnaise. Boiled cabbage mashed with new Irish white spuds trounced in salted butter.

Washing down with chilled Lilt I both in Dealz last week.

Debating desert, but have spent the last 5 minutes craving a chocolate Vienetta. If that doesn't happen I will probably get a box of maltesers and spend the evening lying on my back in the sitting room hovering them above my lips. In fact I might do that as well as eating the Vienetta.

Curry from the takeaway and beers from Aldi. I used to be a responsible adult. It's Monday night FFS!:D

Left over potatoes from yesterday, a few chips, a sirloin steak, coleslaw, peas, a couple of mushrooms and peppercorn sauce.

Tesco meal deal chocolate fudge cake out of the freezer with fresh cream.

You wouldn't buy a Big Mac on it's own for what the two courses cost.

Yum, yummie in my big six pack tummy.

Off out for a walk myself then contemplating a late breakfast/early lunch of scrambled eggs and bacon.

Ham and runny fried eggs for breakfast. Some toast on the side.

Jumbo sausages, mash and beans for the crew. I'm having mash, peas and Sirloin steak. Only steak eater in the house. As it's Wednesday night, a little tipple on some Aldi Karlskrone lager. Easy street.:D

Homemade burger and chips here with a glass of red and some more fruit salad.

Started working from home and on the break at 2pm i threw a leg of lamb (Mutton really) into the oven. It was from a sheep the cousin dropped into me earlier in the year after helping out in the bog (long live the bogger barter economy

). seasoned well salt pepper, garlic, small bit of rosemary and low & slow for nearly 4 hours with small onions whole roasting beside it. Went well with gravy, carrot and parsnip mash and some honey and spelt bread from tesco (Gone of spuds). Meat was fantastic but the onions were to die for. The gravy was from a pack because I got lazy.
