Thread: Lunch ... the second course

So hot I am down to making sandwiches. Another wrap, chicken breast, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese and onion with Ranch dressing..

it is baking and a sensible option but that ain't cheese as I understand it

He doesn't know his Swiss from Shinola.

Talk about ruining what could have a been a perfectly good BLT.


Though, he never was too talented in the ol' kitcho, as you know.

Tonight i done a similar thing to AO,s wrap except i called them tacos or a sort of burrito
Got the idea at a mates place the other night when his wife served up a few of these they were perfect for a dri king snack and i thought the kids would like them. They did

Following in joes footsteps i sourced some chicken breast strips marked down

Next i added this el paso spice mix , threw the chook in a plastic bag with that and the mix , then fried it up

Heres the easy bit. I added a tiny can of capsican, a can of baked beans , some rice the wife had leftover and a jar of mission Salsa heated it all up ,

Mixed in some cheeze and hey presto theres your mixture, for the mission wraps you just pop them in a dry frypan super hot for a few seconds and take em out roll em up, couldnt be easier. The pack contained 12 they had 6 each and were bloated. Sorted

Its a good way to smuggle a couple of veggies into there diet to . Next time i,ll make more didnt get any this time.

Thats ok, i have this cheap beer and will forage the fridge later

Chicken & Cashed Up Nuts might have been better.

LOL, that could have described me 25 years ago....

One of my favourites, a roasted pumpkin and carrot soup. Peeled and cubed the pumpkin and carrot, and gave a liberal sprinkling of olive oil before roasting. Sliced the onions and got the spices ready.



Slowly fried the finely sliced onions for about 20 minutes.



before adding mustard seeds, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom and chilli powder.



mixed in to coat the onions.



and adding the roasted pumpkin and carrots.





stock added, and brought to a simmer for 5 minutes.



then blitzed with an immersion blender before adding some coconut milk.



Because the soup has almost the consistency of an Indian dal, plus of course very Indian spicing, went for making some chapatis rather than my customary croutons.









A spoonful of yoghurt stirred in, and good to go.

The best chapati I think I've seen, those.

They don't normally look that appetising.

Very simple to make, only Atta, the Indian wholewheat flour, and water, no salt or oil. As each one is cooked, brushed the top with melted butter before stacking.

all good tips PAG, you aren't looking for a holiday as our chef are you?, free grog and lashings of lemonade, perhaps get BLD as sous chef the lads keen and would enjoy polishing

A traditionally Northern English lunch after a traditionally rainy walk with the dog..

Today's lunch was a BLD inspired carbonara.





And a bladdy good lunch it was too.

Ee-doh's working, so left to me own lazy-ass devices for lunch.


Ahhh, Bisto.










Was so tasty I actually took it to the beach veranda* as opposed to me normal Sofa-in-front-of-the-TV dining arrangement.




* I'll have Edwina clean the table later.



Fight-training starts again next week. Time for an icy beer me thinks.

The corners of square plates always get chipped like that. You're better off with round ones.

And some peas.

I'm pretty sure all the round ones are also chipped.
