Those sausages don't look warmed up at all, there's something cold & dead looking about them

Yes, but you are lucky living in Thailand because you have lots of butterflies. Bloody snowing where I am now.

Each to their own n all that, but that's too much information, Daffodil.

Not just yet, I'm also suffering with this bloody weather
Zero degrees in London last night

Fun, innit?

I cannot get out of my yard, snowed in. The temperature is - 1 at 10.00 am. The town in the valley below has no snow at all and people down there do not believe we cannot move. I am at an altitude of 1150 feet.

I am having home cooked Indian curry for lunch. Horse racing and soccer on the box. Bollocks to the people in the town ! They are down there, I am up here and that's the way I like it.

Sounds good.

Ya got some single-malt and syrup?

Tonight's little feast..

A chicken red curry with a spicy cold beef salad, washed down with a pint of Guinness

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love those salads
Also really good with canned sardines (yum pla kapong)

Hmmmmm. what to rustle up tonight




Spring greens, potato gratin, rump steak, tenderised slightly & seasoned with black pepper & a little garlic salt, left at room temperature for several hours. Gravy & onions




Ended up substituting the gratins with low fat oven chips






I like my steak cooked about 2 minutes after its medium rare.. as smooth & soft as ice cream



Dessert

Sunday steak, baby new potatoes, greens and gravy..

Looks nice Pat well done ,, BTW its best to keep your flour in a box or container with a sealed lid on it ( wevils )

Triple C looks good to ,, nice to see new potatoes in the mix ,, bloody global warming

The steak looks lovely, but why do people choose to use Bisto when it's so easy and much better to make your own sauce/gravy?

I usually do the stock/meat juices/cornflour thing and I should have, as I'd fried the steak & onions in the pan...you got a point!!

That Bisto onion gravy is very good though

Great stuff, nice big steak, I'm a sucker for good broccoli, well any green veg* I'm deliberately eating extra veggies at present as I'm getting in shape for the beach next month.

*not sprouts or kale

Pork fried rice with beef satay kebabs, gone in 60 seconds

So glad to have my dear little wife home tonight to cook me a fabulous khao soi ghai

Annoying people say to me ''why do you do all that cooking when you live alone? Why not just get a meal for one at Tesco?''

Erm, because I'm a fussy bastard and like to know what I'm eating, and if it's ok with you, I like to stay healthy.

Well done Pat ,, I do aswell when I am alone , unfortunately my brother neither works or cooks himself anything , well anything other than can be spun round in a microwave ,,, its bloody sad really

Many think that those micro meals are on a par with the properly made versions, as the picture on the pack depicts, where really the huge numbers of additives scare the hell out of me. Neither are they that cheap. Ok you can buy a 99p micro lasagne in tesco but you'd do better eating a pile of soiled cat litter.
Most have no nutritional value whatsoever.

Frozen veg is usually frozen within a few hours of being picked,(the decent brands anyway) so can be as good as the real thing. If I can't be bothered I'll use the frozen spinach, cabbage, red cabbage, peas, broccoli etc etc
But I'll always have a freshly made slab of meat or fish and rice or potatoes.
