what fish are you catching ?.

Caught shag all bassy, good job I had a packet of beef mince thawing out.

I used my new burger press again today and made seasoned burgers stuffed with mature cheddar. There was a bit of mince left over so I made mini stuffed burgers for on the side as well, no bun with the mini burger's, kinda like a starter but on the same plate. Went down a storm.

Deep fried the chips but the burgers and mushrooms were baked.

Just saying bassy, there's loads of ways to cook mince and baking it reduces the fat (which you can then mix with seeds and feed to the small wild birds the following day.)

There was more Merlot involved and truth be told when I was prepping everything I had a snaky gin and tonic.

And I'll have more.

i use lean mince,you never said what fish you were looking to catch ?.

I use the leanest beef mince you can buy bassy, it's 4% but it still contains an awful lot more fat than venison.

I was out for mainly bass or flounder today, just a bit of sport fishing from the beach and to get a bit of the sea air for a couple of hours more than anything else.

Always something happens when you're out, today after about two hours of peace and solitude on my own 5 ladies just randomly appeared on the beach, togged off and went in for a swim like it was a summer in Ibiza.

I threw some pictures up on another thread earlier.

Had the most delicious Lamb steaks from Aldi, Highly recommend them. Slow cooked in the oven with sliced onions on top and the juices and flavour then went through the steaks Heavenly!!

That sounds lovely Auto. When you say slow cooked do you mean you had the oven down low and cooked for hours? Mine always turn out tough so would love some tips!

Yea I would have the temp at 100 and not the usual 150 or 180 they mention. Also a little tip is pour a small amount of water over it aswell, we’re talking maybe 2 tablespoons and wrap the tinfoil tight

Ah great tips, thanks:)
I wouldn't have thought of wrapping in tinfoil or adding water.

I'm having soda bread with butter and a hot chocolate. Comforting:)

Normal coffee is back, a bit of fuel before I head out fishing.

Did your coffee machine arrive from Curries?? My additional fridge freezer is arriving in the morning from them. Looks like I escaped the drama.

I baked a fillet of ham today, let it cool and sliced it. Ms G had some with baby boiled spuds and a dash of gravy with hers. I had mine with mash and cabbage. I have mash and ham left over for tomorrows lunch. Just need to choose a veg to go with it. Gonna freeze the rest of the ham slices. No waste here. Mrs G is on a weight watchers, slim fast crazy combo diet, so is looking after herself with frozen meals that look like crap. Her choice. Our money.:D

My local Tesco is selling off cans of Canadian at 1 yo yo a pop because they can't sell the actual slabs at below cost, but you can just pull a slab apart and work away. What a country!:D

Normal service resumed this morning my man, Tassimo is back.

Long awaited, so long awaited if Curry's were the last place on this planet selling anything I needed I would do without.

As for baking joints of ham it's a no brainer, about a quarter of the price of the sliced packet stuff and multiples of the quality.

mince with carrots,onions,brussel sprouts and broccoli,thyme,parsley and knorr aromat for seasoning.

am i the only one who doesn't like salted caramel? I do find it confusing how this flavour took over, chocolate & caramel has been my favourite chocolate combination since childhood but it's completely ruined for me when the salt is added. especially weird how I also probably put too much salt on most hot meals generally.

Not a fan of it myself either, I love caramel and chocolate but not salted caramel

Tonight’s dinner was shepherds pie
