-pops- Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Cauliflower, leek, celery & potato soup (vegan version) + cream (vegetarian version) + crisply fried pancetta slices (carnivore version). I will be having the last option. Been having a fridge clearout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 On Saturdays we usually have salt and pepper baps filled with cooked meat. This week it's ox tongue. I will have thick slices of mild onion on mine, and a couple of chopped tomatoes on the side, while 'Er indoors will have hers with sliced tomato. We will have some vegetable crisps each too. We will then have chopped pineapple and a fruit yogurt. We never have cooked on a Saturday evening except on the odd occasion I will do a stir fry.

AlanHo Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Interesting - it must be a Northern thing. Mind you, one of the reviewers in your post possibly had other things on his mind best baps going by a mile so soft, lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Baps = barm cakes in Manchester environs. My dinner today is homemade beef burgers, fried onions, sauté potatoes and cooked salad. There are some runner beans lurking in the fridge but I'm not sure they are really suitable. The cooked salad is the remains of a packet of mixed salad (rocket, chives and baby spinach) microwaved for a minute or so to cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 We are having slow cooked Welsh lamb shanks tonight - with mixed autumn organic vegetables, steamed Maris Piper potatoes and a rosemary, mint and red wine jus accompanied by a bottle of Espirito da Santo full bodied Portuguese red wine. I prefer to call it bloody expensive sheep's knees, with spuds, veg, gravy and mint sauce washed down with some decent red wine. It sounds more nutritious and tasty. This will be followed by some awful leg cramps during the night - red wine does that if I drink the full bottle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped drinking whole bottles of wine a long time ago. A bottle now sees me through three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's being so cheerful that keeps you going. I never drink the full bottle - I always leave some dregs for management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted October 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Dinner tonight is: Roast Gressingham Duck, Roast spuds and Parsnip, Boiled Cabbage and Carrots, plus what will be hopefully delicious roast gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped drinking whole bottles of wine a long time ago. A bottle now sees me through three days. I stopped drinking alcohol (in all forms and presentations) on December 2nd, 1999. That was the date of my first tangible heart attack and my first near-death experience. I had a second two days later. Apparently, I had had several painless, but very damaging, attacks in the previous few weeks. During my recovery, I had plenty of time to think about life, the universe and everything and I decided that I didn't need alcohol. I'm not blaming alcohol for any of this but I should emphasise that I haven't missed it in all of these seventeen years. In four days time, it is the first anniversary of my latest residence in the coronary care unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I would miss my one large glass with my dinner. But each to his own, you are obviously a man of conviction pops, with good willpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I used to like a glass of lager, but then persisted in drinking the stuff when I'd got the lurgy and ended up with a conditioned taste aversion, it's tasted foul ever since. I still have the occasional Vodka and lime but as I'm invariably the designated driver and never much fancied wine am as close to teetotal as makes no practical difference.

You are quite right in saying that lager tastes foul. You can't beat real ale, I won't drink any other so called beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Tonight we’ll be having leftover roast duck, which I will make into duck burgers ? without the bun. They will be accompanied by Actifry chips, plus some green veg - not yet decided which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
