    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Yum!

    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
