Damn! I forgot to take a picture of the beef stew I made last night. Went down great with 3 slices of oven fresh bloomer.
Did not know peas were a countable noun. :) I get 26 or 27.Quote:

Yes and it looks like Dillinger put more effort into buttering his own bread, and got himself a nice glass of orange.
For the missus, a half-hearted buttering attempt and any old mug for the juice.

Ive got my son over.
Its cowboy meals mainly now. Sausages and beans. Just on my way out to buy a chip pan:)
^^ I probably should've made a salad or side to go with it...
Didn't bother.
Tastes great, and enough for lunch today (well, ok, elevenses) also.
I'm having turkey for my Sunday lunch. I bought two gigantic fresh turkey legs for £ 3 in Morrison's, silly price and only three trays were available for sale, all snapped up immediately. If I remember, I'll take some pics.
Were they front or back legs ? :)Quote:

That looks tasty Nige, I cooked some Mexican food up tonight but can't post pics as I'm using my phone. I have a few photo threads to put up too when I get my laptop sorted.
^ I made the gravy with the remaining juice from the cooked beef ,,,,it was delicious
^ I hope you cleaned that fork before sticking it in your gob Nigel.
You don't know where that wallet has been. :)
Looks good to me Nige...I'm drooling.
Noticed that your wallet is void of real money!
I've got a full week of roasts at various locations to look forward to when I first arrive. Becoming obscenely large is on the cards..:)Quote:

So, it seemed like a good time to do a bit of a fridge clear out with a simple dinner.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/366.jpg
a trio of Cumberland sausages and what Tesco Lotus laughingly call bacon.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/367.jpg
Basic ingredients
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/368.jpg
Simple dice to make sure they cook evenly.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/369.jpg
No need to use any fat as the bacon and sausage will take care of that.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/370.jpg
Need to keep hydrated.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/371.jpg
Already to go...
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/372.jpg
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/373.jpg
In the goes the chilli
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/03/374.jpg
Once everything has cooked through and the veg is softened in goes the tomato sauce and the part cooked pasta along with a little of the cooking water.
A couple of minutes later.... plate time
