rjw63 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Spag bol is boring AF unless you throw a few scotch bonnets in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Did a really nice pan fried salmon fillet last night. Perfect crispy skin, can't remember the last time I enjoyed salmon as much. Even better, we got them from the Asda fish counter reduced by half towards the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 2 hours ago, peterms said: The missus came home with some stewing beef, only 500g for four people, so I was inspired to make beef fajitas, stew the meat slowly until falling apart, then stir-fry with peppers, chipotle, garlic etc and serve as fajitas with guacamole and oven-baked chips in olive oil, oregano and chilli as a side. A good way to make a smallish amount of meat spin out. Open the pack to find it's not stewing beef at all, but mince. Sodding mince. No good for anything except a spag bol. Gaaahhh! make enchiladas!!

I'll happily use leftovers, or a bit of beef or chicken or pork, but mince...doesn't appeal. Made a spag bol with some paprika and chilli but stopping short of Rob's scotch bonnets. Have now managed to find a small piece of brisket, cooked it gently for 5 hours until it can be pulled apart with forks, seasoned with chipotle and paprika, next will stir fry with onion, garlic, red pepper, more chipotle and some bird's eye chilli, and the fajitas are back on. Guacamole made, potato wedges roasting in the oven...all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This is quite astonishing. An advertising exec, hit with a life-limiting illness caused by his diet, recognises his part in inflicting similar damage on others, and tries to make amends. And it's published in the Mail, whose entire ethos is the exact opposite of this act of confession and recompense and criticising the ad industry and the food processing industry. I can only assume the ad exec concerned is a personal friend of someone high up in the Mail, like when the odious Dacre campaigned on the death of Stephen Lawrence because Stephen's dad had been doing his decorating. Despite all that, worth reading.

Rob182 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I've officially lasted one whole month without meat. I reckon I'll try to keep it up until my birthday in March, and then have a nice blow-out, running around stabbing pigs, cows and ducks all over the shop. On another food-and-drink related note, my bank account app gets me a free drink every day from a few different coffee shops. Since I've moved to my new job, I'm now surrounded by about 7 of these different places, and I've had 2 free lattes every day since I started on 2nd Jan. I'm going to look like a cup of coffee in a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
