You could be forgiven for thinking that Gordon Ramsay popped round to say hello and cooked me dinner, but it was all my own work!

I could list some names if that was too subtle for you.

So you're hoping your diet leads to an early death.

It all makes sense now.

Ohhhh. I live far from a pure healthy lifestyle, but I do make a point of eating well and know that eating highly processed food along with the lack of exercise will impact your immune system which is why you have posted a few times about being sick for numerous days. As a teacher you are constantly exposed to potential viruses so a good immune system I would think is important. Sure once in a while is fine but virtually all your posts in the dinner thread are from the places I mentioned so its not surprising you get sick easily.

And btw, I am far from a cranky old guy, I just call it like it is which you seem to take objection too.

Enjoy your Dinner.

I thought I was on dinner duty while Lao lady went about her flower arranging but then from the recesses of her hold-all she produced a vegetable and chicken stir fry that she had cooked at home before driving over.



I left the arranging to her this time since she wanted separate bowls after our shared plate was skating around on the tray last time



Bean shoots make a nice healthy change from naughty carbo-noodles for a balanced diet



I was noticing a lot of red birdseye chilli in the mix before my final microwave



And it was indeed a fiery beast that took no prisoners



Even Lao lady had tears and nose running by time she was done

Nice! I love the way she just, 'produced it'.

Fancied something quick n easy, slapdash, a bit different, got to the fridge.


Cooked spaghetti.
A pack of bacon.

Ta Da.

Dirty Spaghetti.



for some reason thought a nice few splashes of lime juice would be a good addition. Hmmm. 50/50 on that result.

Also realized that a few dried chilis would be good, but alas only had ground chili powder.






Prolly 5 minutes from start to finish and nice n carbalicious after a light evening bike ride.


Would do it again.

^ Mix in an egg and it's spaghetti carbonara.

Already invented!

Yes, I did think of that when I was eating it.

you must be yolking

Bit earl-o for dinner. But was afternoon batch cooking and had to have a tester.








delisherous.

I must admit, I am a fan of that frozen pre-chopped veggie mix.

Chicken is evil though.

I knew there was something I was supposed to google.

Mixed frozen veg fritters.


Mixed frozen vegetable fritters are a quick, crispy snack made by mixing thawed, drained frozen veggies (peas, corn, carrots) with flour, egg, and cheese (optional), then pan-frying until golden. They are easy to make by mixing 150g-200g of frozen vegetables with flour, baking powder, 1 egg, and seasoning.

Sweet.

I will eat it for nostalgia readin because it reminds me of my early days working abroad in Spain.
However, I have a bag in the freezer nowadays which is used as an ice pack when needed for my joint injuries.

I have friends that this would actually apply to, but I think you know me better than that.

I remember you posted that before, I think.

I can't remember if I asked you what you meant.

I also can't remember if you replied.

If you did reply then I also can't remember what you said.

So what is it that makes chicken so bad?

Chicken is pretty much the only meat I eat. Not because I especially love it but just because it is the easiest meat to cook.

Of course, you would.

I like peas, sweetcorn and carrots.

But I like to see them in separate little piles of my plate, not all mixed up together. Peas and sweetcorn seem to be fine frozen but I always cook carrots from fresh, in big pieces.

My dinner, nice and healthy for a change....

And with some semblance of vitamins remaining

Apparently snap-frozen vegetables can retain more vitamins than fresh... which gradually degrade over the time from picking to eating which can be several weeks.

I am no expert on this... but I do know that I couldn't satisfy my pea requirement if relying on fresh peas in Thailand.

I think you might have to work on your understanding of fresh.



Not that I don't absolutely fucking love them myself; I had 2 last week.



Between 75p and a quid I would pay in Cairo for one.
