poppy Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Chicken drumsticks, parsnip, apple and onion bake, a Jamie Oliver recipe (except he used sausages). Surprisingly yummy Quote

Surprisingly yummy Oooh that sounds nice! I love roasted parsnips. I'm having cod with my lockdown discovery (because they were substituted for normal hash browns on my food order) - cauliflower hash browns. Quote
Raven Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 I may have discovered M&S Baby Charlotte Potato Salad. I may have eaten about half the pot, already this evening. I don't think the rest is going to last much longer... Quote

Marie H Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Had Charlotte potatoes for lunch; home grown, more main-crop (so they were larger with a drier texture) and they were excellent 🙂 With cold beef and carrots. Quote
megustaleer Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 We had Kuku Sabzi, which is an Iranian dish, made (In the recipe I have) of Swiss chard, leeks, an abundance of soft herbs - today it was parsley, dill, chives, tarragon and mint - and eggs. Cooked like a frittata, but it has a greater proportion of filling to egg than usual in a frittata. Served with flatbreads, and a tomato and cucumber salad, and followed with a rhubarb crumble. Chard, herbs, tomatoes, cucumber & rhubarb all home grown. My leeks are a late variety, so not ready for pulling yet. Quote

I really like potatoes cold, but I've never really liked mayonnaise, so I've always just assumed I won't like it!

Rhubarb is something I would like to grow, my nan used to grow lovely rhubarb. I actually prefer it raw to cooked in a crumble though! I went to see my parents and had fish and chips tonight, which was lovely Quote

I love milk chocolate digestive biscuits. Especially if you take two, place them together with the chocolate side facing in, then dip them in tea so you end up with a melted chocolate middle. Yum. Now I want biscuits... Quote

Mcvities Victoria; got given a box in a Christmas hamper from work. Ordinary biscuits, poor chocolate. Plain chocolate Hob Nobs are so much better! Quote

Comforting and used up all the leftover vegetables. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I discovered over Christmas that I prefer milk chocolate digestives to plain, having grown up on plain chocolate ones and always believing the milk chocolate ones to be inferior, because that's what my Dad always said Quote

muggle not Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 I have 2 squares of Dark chocolate every evening after dinner. I usually have the 85 % chocolate. Quote

I love dark chocolate too but on its own, the way you eat it, not on biscuits. Still agree with Andreas’ milk chocolate biscuit preference! Quote
Raven Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Started cooking waaaaay too late again tonight. Currently have a piece of brisket in the over that will be out at 22:45! Quote

(think this is fast becoming tomorrow night's meal!) Oh dear… beans on toast and a nice slow cooked brisket for tomorrow? I once put my dinner in the oven, came back absolutely expecting it to be done, and discovered that the wall switch hadn’t been on so literally no cooking had been achieved… if that makes you feel better Quote
Raven Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Just divided it up (it didn't need cutting!) and managed three good sized portions; one for tomorrow, and two for a later date. Tastes pretty good, too! Quote

At least it was worth it in the end then I had a bit of a rubbish morning, which included the sink being blocked, so decided to just order a burger king meal to eat at lunch... they forgot the burger. Really not my day so far! Chips were still nice though, looking on the bright side. Quote
