Hot Dogs and (air fryer) fries. Did frankfurters and traditional sausages. Even fried some onions to put on as well.

Thank you for my birthday wishes. Had a quiet day, coffee at the golf club (the bar wasn’t open at 10am), lunch at McDonalds and dinner from Thaiway (used to be Arroy Thai) washed down with a San Miguel. Oh, and lots of chocolate.

Use this as a dipping sauce for dim sum, spring rolls, etc. Never use it in cooking, it blows your head off. Has a great taste though.

Fresh tagliatelle bolognaise (not spag bol) with garlic bread pizza. All veges cut up super small so 10 year old can’t pick them out.

Couldn’t be bothered preparing anything so pizzas and pasta from the Co-op.

Chicken, Leek and Cider Gratin this evening. It is a Rick Stein recipe and it tastes really nice. Served with some broccoli or Chinese greens make it a great wintery dish.

Sausage and mash pie tonight with Chinese greens. Cook sausages in a sauce with tinned tomatoes, onions, garlic, etc. then put mash on top and bake in oven. Similar to cottage pie. Very warming on a day like this.

Hot pot for dinner followed by a family quiz. 10 year old says he wants to stay up until midnight - he might be turning the lights off as I am usually in bed by 10pm.

We had turkey as well as porchetta for meats today. Veggies were roasties, sprouts fried with bacon and green beans in a creamy cheese sauce. Started with sushi and sashimi. And so full we didn’t bother with dessert which was key lime pie. Just finished my second bottle of Madri and had an...

We are having traditional turkey roast on the 25th. The rest of the time we are just having party food thrown in the air fryer. No turkey curry or cold turkey and chips. Party food is the biz!

Don’t think that is Covid jabs. I went on Wednesday and they did a few weights and measurements and took some blood. Then I filled in a questionnaire and got a £10 voucher for my troubles. 📸 Look at this post on Facebook...

We usually get them from Wing Lee by the bet365 but this time we got them from the International Supermarket on Mill Street.

Roast chicken, roast potatoes and an enoki mushroom dish (which the wife made) plus broccoli and Yorkshire pudding. Made stock with the carcass and just done a curried potato soup for this evening.

Lamb rogan josh tonight, from scratch.

We are having a traditional Chinese hot pot this evening. Didn’t expect the weather to be like this as hot pot is usually a cool autumn/winter evening thing. Got all the meat balls, fish balls, meat, vege. and noodles prepared. Communal cooking in boiling stock. End up eating too much but really...
