I really couldn't be bothered tonight, so I broke out some canned "emergency rations" unused from my recent road trip. Chicken Tika Masala and a boil in the bag white rice. Took all of 5 minutes to prepare. Total cost maybe £3. Same taste as a good takeaway. Result!
My stomach can handle it (must be, after being on Omeprazole for over 10 years!), but my metabolism isn't what it was, now that I'm a few weeks away from 50. Even burning 10,000 calories a week in the gym isn't sorting it, so I shall be having a re-group over the next few weeks, to put everything right again. Enjoy the pictures while they last!
Last night. Sunday dinner soup. It’s a bowl of gravy with bits of chicken and sausage, carrots and sweetcorn plus a blob of cranberry. I tear off the hard edge bits of the yorkshire pudding to use as a spoon and I dip the soft bits in the soup. Photo won't upload no matter what I try to do to get it to work and as this concoction appears to represent a groundbreaking culinary achievement, unfortunately there are no stock photos on Google Images either, so you'll just have to use your imagination.
My son is cutting weight for a fight in a couple of weeks (currently at his "walking around" weight of 9st 13lb but needs to make 9st 6lb) so we also had it on Sunday evening rather than a full roast dinner. In fact, I'd have it every evening if I had my way, but I limit myself to 2 or 3 times per week!
Can of Campbell's Condensed Mushroom Soup, with two slices of that ther Jason's Malted Sour Dough (sorry, 'Majestic Malted') and - wait for it, wait for it - half a bulb of crushed garlic and a teaspoon of turmeric. Probably a heaped teaspoon but I just tip it in. I also add it to Patak's Madras. To most stuff, actually. Haven't tried it in sandwiches yet.
Kebab here and our local has just gone online with an app, it feels like we’ve finally gone fully laminated.
Chicken cordon bleu en croute, washed down with a rather delightful glass or two of white wine, procured from the last road trip to Mersault.
Soup. and quite possibly until the end of eternity. i've never made soup before. but, driving through Glenfinnan yesterday i got a strong urge and completely out of the blue to make some soup. so i did. tattie and leak with chopped up bacon fried in a mountain of Smokey flavoured paprika, i threw it all in to a pot with a couple of veg stock cubes with lashings of ground pepper then got in about it with one of those electric grind it all up whisk things. Fack! even the Mrs liked it. i dont post much on here, but for me, this is a bit of a mile stone, a wee right of passage. so i just had to share. nom f,ing nom.
