OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today? II

[Barry]

Comfort food: steak and ale pie, chips and baked beans.

Not the healthiest of meals, but tasty nonetheless.

Nee, naa, nee, naa, nee, naa . . . . milk police here, just popped into say thanks Justin, I bought this for the first time over the weekend - golly gosh, tastes like real milk, instead of bilge water!

So you can get decent milk in a Supermarket. Thanks for the tip

Sainsbury's do remarkably decent Jersey milk.

Graham's do a good Jersey one too, but beware. The homogenised version is not good. The other one is. This rule applies universally. H marks milk destruction.

AI seems to reckon there is a bit of a backlash against bastardised, destroyed milk fat cells in water. I only hope it is right

Just the boys for dinner tonight as wife’s turn to see RAYE at the O2 with daughter, so my son’s favourite, Spag Bol.

Looks good - but no veg?

Onion, celery, carrots and mushrooms all in the sauce, Barry - the secret way to get veg into kids!

5th of the 5 a day was garlic bread. [emoji16]

Sticking with Italian food:

Mushroom risotto with asparagus, leek, broccoli and green beans

What no meat? I sometimes go vegetarian from time to time.

You definitely win in the vegetable stakes as usual, Barry! We try to have one veggie and one fish dinner a week, but not always easy to come up with recipes everyone likes, especially as wife and son are very picky on texture, and hate anything like lentils or chickpeas. But I can’t go wrong with mushrooms!

[Barry]

If you count eating eggs as being vegetarian, then yes, I too eat one fish and one 'vegetarian' meal a week. My partner is an icthiophage (fish eater), so we eat quite a bit of fish: usually seafood such as king prawns or shrimps, but sometimes sea bass, haddock, plaice or cod.

Also, despite my moniker, I try to have a couple of days a week that are alcohol free.

I decided to do “Dry January” again this year, then when February came I thought I might as well go until Valentine’s. Then I thought my birthday, 17th Feb, which coincided with Shrove Tuesday, so then I thought I’d extend it for Lent. Easter has come and gone, and I still haven’t had any alcohol at all!

I’m not saying I have quit, but at the moment am not drinking, and don’t really want to, which I never thought would happen in a million years! I do feel a lot healthier, wake up every morning with a clear head, have lost over 2 stone and saved a few quid, so I can only see the upside of temperance currently!
