Doing it right for sure! Thank the gods there are no beans on the plates. I can eat peas for days.

It meant I spent a fair bit of the day cooking up a batch of pies but it was well worth it.



I must admit that these Thais are all very well, but sometimes I wish I'd married a girl who could make a nice pie.

Im starting to think the same . Im gonna have a word with her mother if all things culinary dont improve.

To be honest Strigils I didn't get pudding... the one night of the year I'd hope for it.

The daughter is sick and slept in the middle of the bed last night.

I did get a bit of dessert though... I stuffed my face on Kit-Kat ice cream after everyone had gone to bed!

Happy belated birthday Mendip.

You should have a trip to Wigan next time you're in the UK.


Its pie heaven.

All the women in the pubs want to discuss is pies!

They prefer a kitkat handshake in Wigan.

^ I had to look that up.

FFS man, this is a food thread. I've got big fingers as well.

Pies and special handshakes... does Wigan have any bad points?

I blame a mispent youth reading Viz.

Fuck sake, you'll be the same star sign as that nob end PH.

Someone shoulda put your name and age in peas on the top of the pie

Oh well, Happy Belated Birthday, fella.

No dogs in the house at the Farm (as it should be).

Too many ticks.

Exception was during thunderstorms/fireworks

Corned beef and cabbage...

^ That looks great, but I'd need a sauce of some kind... cheese maybe?

^^ Maya will soon be out at night with the others. I think whether to have a dog in the house is a personal choice but it doesn't work to have 5 'outside' dogs and 1 'house' dog. Maya comes in and the rest follow... I do like it but it ha to stop. Once I'm sure Maya is safe with the others she will sleep with them in the workshop.

I gave her a good wash today and picked off dozens of ticks... they are pretty much impossible to control when the dogs mooch about all day outside. As much as I enjoy her company in the evenings she'll have to stay outside within the week.

^^^ Aries, The Ram

March 21st is the 1st day of Aries and the 1st day of Spring, as well as being the Spring Equinox. Quite an auspicious day really, but the wife still forgot.

The gardener remembered and got me a box of Leo... but will doubtless put it on expenses.

There's not a pod big enough to hold enough peas for my name and age... I have a long name.

Looks a bit dry Snubbles, I would have drowned it in gravy.

^White sauce goes with corned beef, not gravy you fucken heathen

Aah, needs white sauce and it looks good otherwise, been a long while since I had corned beef. Did you make that subs?

Not dry at all the corned beef was perfect. This was cooked in the slow cooker so it was anything but dry.

That is not something we do here in the states.

Half a sea bass and gambas al ajillo

Stuffed, bring on half term.

This COVID situation is a disaster Loopy, feel for you, i really do.

^^^ Thought you were on a hard lockdown Mandaloopy?

You do post some great meals, I assume from restaurants.

What do you eat the rest of the time?

^^ Ok. That looks amazing.
