Do you run some kind of secret chicken farm?

Chicken and mushroom in white sauce with sprout and sweet potato mash.

Judging by the sprouts do you run your own wind farm?

Just pigged a Dr Oetker family size mushroom pizza, with added cheese, sliced mushrooms and baby plum tomatoes, plus a side helping of baked beans ('cos I had half a tin in the fridge that needed using :))
Very tasty and I'm pretty full. Didn't bother with a photo, as I didn't actually make anything, just cooked it.
I had to eat it all in one go, as I'm the only one here and I don't eat cold pizza.
Lamb hotpot. Not sure about this photo but in the flesh it looks fab.

My, that does look appetizing, I’ve always been a meat and potatoes man.
I take great care in the way I stack my toppings on the pizza. And the red stuff is just canned, diced tomatoes, drained. I put the onions under the cheese, so they cook down soft and don’t get burnt, and the green peppers on top for looks. Lately I just brown ground beef and spread on top. The most important part, is a clove or garlic about the size of your thumb, minced into the sauce. And yes, it’s an Americanized pizza. An Italian friend of mine always ordered a,”Cheese Pie”, he frowns upon all the toppings.
One thing I see is portion size. Everyone in America eats too much! The meals most of you display is about half the size of what I see here in the states. And that’s why Americans are so fat! I’m a good 15lbs overweight myself.

Just get a decent spud (Maris Piper etc). Turn it into a puck by taking a slice off top and bottom, then peel it and put a 45 degree chamfer on the top and bottom edges.
Heat about 150g of butter in a deep sided frying pan until foaming then place the ‘pucks’ in the butter for about 5 minutes each side until nicely browned.
In the meantime, make up some Chicken Stock (enough to cover 3/4 up the sides of the potato).
When the potato is browned, add the chicken stock - be careful, it will get a bit lively at first!!
Then add a smashed clove of garlic and a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary. Turn the heat down a little and let the stock cook into the potatoes until soft.
Then enjoy [emoji4]

Sounds lush!!
Tonight we were short of spuds so I grabbed a bag of Macaroni , and boiled it. Put 6 slices of finely chopped bacon with an onion and popped it in the oven for 20 mins to brown it!

Did you make the stew yourself? Amazing flavour to be got from Oxtail, only made it once, hard to find in most butchers.
Quick way is tin of oxtail soup and meat
Coq au vin, with bacon and button mushrooms. Mashed potato, leeks, carrots, brocolli and seared red peppers.

I always make an unholy mess when I'm making poached eggs so I decided to cheat from now on, got myself a nice little egg-poacher in Morrisons for £8. Will get a lot of use out of it though as it can double as a perfect little non-stick frying pan for cooking Spanish Tortilla in. I actually went in looking for a new little frying pan and ended up killing two birds with one stone. Result! [emoji4][emoji106]

Well strictly it would be raclette that we nicknamed death by cheese, but tonight was tartiflette with reblochon cheese, sometimes I have morbiflette with morbier cheese. Boil potatoes, slice, then fry with onion and lardons, then in an oven dish with reblochon layers and cream. Green beans and a couple of sausages with it, that was the only way there would be any left for another day. Could be a windy evening.

Had some stuff to use up, a bit of a strange lunch, but was nice. Lidl Frankfurters, Lidl chips, Brussel sprouts, English mustard and sweet chilli sauce.
Found a quick and good way to cook the frozen chips, put on a large plate and microwave for a few min, then transfer to a large frying pan and cook in a small amount of olive oil until crisp. Came out really nice. I mixed the mustard with the sweet chilli sauce, also worked well.

Sea Bass with a bit of Lime & Chilli, Pinto Beans with veg.
Soaked the beans overnight and cooked them in chicken stock with an Arbol chilli.
Then sweated chorizo in a pan with some olive oil and added onion, celery, courgette, tomato and coriander..then the beans.
Sea Bass was ‘cooked’ in fresh lime juice before adding some olive oil, s&p and a pinch of dried guajillo chilli & garlic. Then just crisped the skin up in a dry frying pan.

Top notch, Granty! Keep this up, and I'd be very confident that in a couple of months your well-being will improve significantly:):thumbsup:

Good to see some extra fibre in the diet.
brown rice takes an age to cook [emoji57] anyway got there, nearly was still a bit tough.

Salmon was superb. The marinade was good.

I like the Wild Rice with the long grains in various shades of brown but it takes a loooong time to cook.
Similar to yesterday but different sauce. Carrots added and rice cooked longer.
Very nice

I like to cover and rest rice for 10 minutes once it has cooked, makes for lighter and fluffier rice.
...when I tip my pan sideways and no water drips down I know it’s ready to rest. Usually it’s about 1cm water level above the washed rice, cooked for 10 mins for white, 15 or more for brown.
That was brown basmati. Took 25 mins and was still slightly al denti (or however you spell it lol) nice flavour tho. Takes an age to get through the husk I think.
Certainly better for you I will try the sitting bit tho[emoji4]
Turkey and ham in veg stock paella ..mix of white and brown basmati, as i couldnt find my round rice

Just back from Lidl and Asda, it's busy out there. Quick lunch, some leftover home-made soup, ham tomato and chutney sandwich, was lovely now some fruit and a cuppa.
Cutney was home-made yesterday, Mango, peach, apple, onion, raisns, chilli, cloves, ginger, garlic, mixed spice, cinnamon, cumin, salt, pepper, soft dark brown sugar, wine vinegar. Got about five jars, it will keep for a bit.

Almond & Pear Danish Pastry Plaits.
Just need to put a drizzle of icing on them when they cool. Taking them to family Easter weekend.
