I had a bowl of cereal :).
Lol - that's breakfast! What did you have for your lunch?:)
Marco.
On a diet, are we?:D
Marco.
Lol, that's cool, but no offence mate, I couldn't go all day on that!:eek:
I guess you just treat food purely as sustenance, rather than pleasure? I need something more substantial to look forward to eating every day!:)
Marco.
I only eat food I like Marco and do enjoy it. I just don't need a great deal.
No breakfast, just a simple lunch and an evening meal. It's all I need.
sensible.. eat when hungry, not coz you want to.. just had a slice of me home baked bread. lovely it was
Lol, yes of course it's sensible, but is sensible FUN? You've got to enjoy life, not simply exist!:)
For me, the highlight of the day is looking forward to enjoying a lovely meal. I only eat what I 'need' too, but there has to be a significant degree of pleasure attached to the experience.
It's back to the cultural difference again... Live to eat, or eat to live, and I'm (along with most Europeans) firmly in the latter camp!
In that respect, even if I lived on my own, as long as I was fit enough, I'd still choose to eat something a little more exciting than cereal or beans on toast for my dinner. Sorry guys, just being honest!:cool:
Marco.
:lolsign:
Well, look at my dad, he's still having fun at 87!!:D
Doesn't seem to be doing him any harm either....
Marco.
Is no-one eating anything today? :ner:;)

Chicken curry

Nice, Roy-boy... Sauce looks good. I'm a sucker for peas in curries!:D
Did you make it yourself?:)
Marco.
P.S Glad you didn't let the chips side down!
A man who likes Big portions.
Hadn't had much through the day, couple of slices of toast with marmalade & a few digestive biscuits with my tea this afternoon.
I'm down a stone since lockdown and it's really helped with mobility.

Looking good mate. My lack of mobility causes me problems weight wise. Guessing whisky doesn't help
thought roy looked good in shorts... no when i wear em, its scary:lol:
Lunch.
Blood pressure tablet, statin tablet and blood thinning tablet :)
With rye crackers & extra mature cheddar, large tomato, egg & mayo, ripe 'nana, two choccy digestives and a chunk of salted caramel fudge and mug of coffee.

The fudge is a touch of class, Geoff... Shows you're not an oik!:eyebrows:;)
Marco.
i have the digestives, but none of the other items. looks like a nice pig-in tho:eyebrows:...a bit of ham might have been nice too
I really must resurrect one of my better cameras. That shot is crap!
10 hour slow-cooked Brisket makes a good sarnie!

Oh yes, Tony - I can always rely on you to post pics of PROPA food!!:ner::eyebrows:
;)
A quality sarnie, sir!:)
Marco.
Granty, have you gone all shy - come on, let's some pics of yer nice pasta dishes, soups or rolls and sausage!:)
Marco.
I put the rest of the slow-cooked brisket and it’s cooking juices into a nice chilli with some chipotle pepper and pinto beans.

^^^ like the look of that :)
Yeah, totally... Rich and unctious!:)
Marco.
Hee hee! Cheers guys, it was bloody delish. Loads left so planning on getting some tortillas (haven’t got enough masa harina to make any) and making some enchiladas.
This will taste even better tomorrow. [emoji4]

I like brisket myself. A very useful cut. Makes good stoves too
Indeed, it's top-notch. Often the cheaper cuts of meat, sympathetically treated and cooked, are far better (tastier) than the fancy stuff, hence why what's known as 'peasant food', done well, originating from many different cuisines, can be really fab!:)

Today's Sunday lunch, chez-daftee... Pan-fried pork loin with caramelised fresh apple slices in a Normandy cider, fresh lemon thyme, parsley and cream sauce, served with new Charlotte potatoes and heritage carrots from our garden, steamed cauliflower florets, mangetout and tenderstem broccoli:

...washed down with a superb bottle of 2018 Chenac Cru de Beaujolais. £7.99 from Lidl, and just stupidly cheap for the quality on offer. This is to all intents and purposes a £15 bottle of wine:

Intensely fruity, like most good Beaujolais, but with more earthy richness and structure than bog-standard varieties, befitting of its 'cru' appellation, and with just the right amount of acidity to cut through the richness of the cider/apple cream sauce - a lovely drop or red indeed!:cheers:
Marco.
Looks lovely! What's a heritage carrot?
Cheers, mate. It's an old-style variety of carrot, hence 'heritage', with a fuller and sweeter flavour, and which often comes in different colours: https://boroughmarket.org.uk/articles/heritage-carrots
During lockdown, we ordered a bucketload of seeds online, for various types of veg, and planted them, as we're intent on becoming as self-sufficient as possible!

Chicken casserole. Hours of preparation went into this...................fortunately they were not my hours of preparation, I just got it out of a tin! :D

Lol - did you enjoy it? That's the main thing! Better pic this time, and i like the dish it's in:)
Marco.
Yup, lighting is king when it comes to taking good pics:thumbsup:
Marco.
Quality sandwich for two....
