Thursday is "Forget-the-diet-it's-pub-lunch-day!" and today's venue was The Haywain (two-main-courses-for-price-of-one).
Steak and ale pie with chips (fries) and peas, washed down with Guinness. Hot chocolate brownie and ice-cream to follow.
Lettuce leaf and a carrot tomorrow...
Hot chocolate brownie. :yum:
As for me, nothing very interesting, basically what I eat practically every weekday:
Breakfast: smashed banana with granola
Lunch: rice, beetroot, beef with potatoes and carrots, and some cabbage.
Dinner has yet to happen, but it'll most probably be left overs from lunch.
On some days between afternoon meals I've been making vitamin shakes with banana, apple and oats, which is always a bad idea because I'm allergic to milk. :-\
What I really want is some pizza. :P
^^
:yum:
Both of you.
Me? So far...
2 slices of toasted sourdough bread with margarine and one cup of coffee. :-\
I'll eat something more exciting with lots and lots of jalapeños, later. :let'seat:
Are jalapeños as hot as they say? I've never tried any of that, maybe due to the fear that it'll burn off all my taste buds. :haironfire:

No, jalapeños are not hot at all. It's very disappointing when you bite one and it tastes like a bell pepper. Serranos guarantee "heat satisfaction" better. If you want 100% "heat satisfaction" try a Pequin pepper. --Hot sons of bitches! :yum:
I also used to think about the "pain" and "heat" before I started eating them, but what they do is just enhance the flavor of the food by about 200%. Your taste buds "wake up." ;D

Fixt it!
I bought a bag of bird's eye chilis about ten years ago. Still ultra hot, still working through them one per meal!

:lol:
Those hot little things are addictive. There are times when my food is just, "there." Then it hits me! It needs a hot pepper, any hot pepper, just burn me! Please! ;D
:lol: Heh, they'd probably wake up due to the agony! :P
I tried a pepper once, things didn't end well.
So far, nothing, but that sourdough toast does sound good esp. with a side of hot chocolate.
Breakfast: 2 protein shakes
Lunch: Calabrese Salami, Del Duca Prosciutto, Capocollo, Genoa Salame, Provolone, Buffalo Mozzarella, Rosemary baguette
Diner: Chicken curry, Basmatti rice, Naan
Some organic Cocoa Krispies knock off, a whole lot of Panera, like 1/4 a bag of mixed Halloween candy, and BF is making venison liver with bacon and caramelized onions.
Breakfast: Coffee (I like it black), plain yogurt with honey (from my own bees :) ) and cereal mixed in.
Middle of the day: a few handfuls of pumpkin seeds, roasted from the pumpkins we carved, and... Probably a few nibbles of junk food, but I can't remember.
Dinner: pizza, because it was fast and easy and I didn't have time to cook because I was still trying to finish a Halloween costume.
And for the record, my taste buds find jalapeños to be unbearably hot! Admittedly though, I'm a super spicy-wimp.
I just finished breakfast. I had 2 slices of dark bread with a wonderful egg-salad on it.
Cooking schedule put back by having to take a neighbour to hospital for a sudden change of appointment time!
On way back got in stuff for my Friday Night Treat: vino, Cheddar cheese, sweet chilli rice crackers (I will remember to wash my hands after eating those this time!), chilli hummus and, to round it off, chilli chocolate!

Bombay Potato curry and home style chickpea curry made by yours truly and served with lime pickle, pop arms and banana slices. For the first time I think I got the spice levels exactly right for our tastes, and Mr M concurs.

This thread's great, I don't know why no one never thought of doing it before.
Philosophy is rubbish, a properly assembled toast based meal is what matters.

Grilled and sliced venison sausages with caramelised spring onions, mushrooms, garlic and steamed veggie rice.
I'm at work and just had these

Which are a mix between a cinnamon roll and a pancake. They are soo good but I never get them because they are also so bad for you. So worth it though.
I'm now preparing wild boar goulash with onions, red wine, sour cream and mushrooms; served with cooked potatoes and a cucumber salad.
It's pizza night! :party:

I so know that feeling but you know we'll do it again and again ......,
Red snapper fish tacos with coleslaw, and a couple of glasses of cab.
Just had a chicken sandwich with some creamy Brazilian catupiry cheese spread for dinner.
I am stuffed.
I'm totally coming to this thread next time I don't know what to make.... its very inspiring. And I get hungry every time I read through it!
I made chili with homemade cornbread for dinner. That is a tradition for Halloween to warm us up before trick-or-treating. Except tonight the weather was SO hot. But we were troopers and endured tradition anyway. ;)
I had a McDonald Spicy Signature Burger Menu. Beef quality (150 grams of German beef) was OK; the taste was quite good, but it could've been a bit more spicier.
I became a turkey and rolled around in gravy

Snapper tacos! Never even occurred to me, and as much as I like snapper and fish tacos, I wonder why. I'm gonna have it for dinner on Friday (only because I'm shopping at CostCo on Friday, and that's where I'll buy it). Yummay!
Today - Chinese buffet and sake. Lots of cashew chicken and baked and fried fish.

Red snapper from the Texas gulf (Gulf of Mexico) is SO good.
I imagine red snapper is much like halibut? I've only had halibut tacos, and they are one of my favorites! Don't think I've ever had the pleasure of red snapper...
today I ate a salmot and philadelphia sandwich for lunch. Planning on eating rice and yogurt for dinner
For lunch I had Currywurst (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst) mit Pommes und Erbsen
Made some Gazpacho last night.......It needs to be refrigerated over night to let all the ingredients meld together for a unique taste sensation. Yummy if you are into that sort of ultra basic cuisine. Making some sopa de garbanzo (Spanish bean soup) today. I'll have some of it tomorrow along with authentic Cuban bread.
Waiting for pizza.
Strogonoff. Not enough tomato sauce.
The roast beef of old England cooked to tissue paper by Mr M accompanied by Yorkshire pudding, leeks, carrots and crisp roast potatoes. A rich gravy to go with it. Mmm
I had a kick ass food day.
Breakfast was oatmeal with apples from the orchard down the road, raw pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Early dinner was venison steak with home grown seasoned red potatoes and fried okra.
And I've been gorging myself on homemade cranberry crumble all evening, featuring cranberries also from the orchard down the road.

I don't remember what I had for breakfast and lunch today, but for dinner I had loads of mayonnaise. Bread, some lettuce, a slice of tomato and some meat (I think?) came as a bonus.
McDonald's.

My mother hosted a feast at her school yesterday, they had to roll me out of there.
I broke down and got some apple sausage and fried that up with some potatoes and eggs with a little country gravy on top. So much for eating healthy lol.
My wife invited me to nice sushi place in Frankfurt.
Half a duck, for shredding, with pancakes and hoisin sauce - cherry tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber and carrors sticks on the side.
Oh, dear, got to eat the whole thing myself. Was going to share it with a friend but when I disagreed with something she said and was told, angrily, "If you don't like it go away in a jerky, hip thrusting sexual manner." Being a gentleman I obeyed the, er, lady's(?) wishes.
Her loss . . . :D
For lunch I ate my homemade brussel sprout coleslaw. I watched everyone eat what was being served in the cafeteria: sausage, potatoes au gratin (from a box), and canned green beans.
So, for supper I made Polish kielbasa, potato wedges with olive oil and bay seasoning (potatoes from my garden), and garlic-green beans made from fresh, not frozen or canned. It's amazing what you can do with the same basic ingredients when you're not mass-producing. Of course, I have 3 servings of leftovers yet to enjoy.

That's meatballs, pepperoni, mushrooms, shallots, cherry toms and circular bits of red pepper. Pepperoni got crisped but was still interesting!
Had thought of using a melon baller on parboiled potatoes and then frying those, but forgot to buy them. Added peas after I took the picture.

Come on, Mags, round is round even when its flat! Is not a coin "round"? Tut, I cannot claim them "spherical" 'cos the pepperoni and peppers are flat and the "meatballs" more like cylindrical sections of sausage. But all are "round" in one aspect.
I'll try cubes and squares next time. Hmm, geometrical stirfry . . . :thoughtful:
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios for breakfast, Whole grain Cheez-its and thin Tostito's for snacks, and rice for dinner.
I want something more substantial, but there's not much I can do. *sigh* Oh well. I've been pretty well-fed lately... Today's kind of the worst it's been a while. (And I don't have any more Cheez-its now... Very sad day)
My latest thing is 'Poshcorn'; popcorn lightly flavoured with sugar and salt.
I dreamt I was devouring a very large pizza with extra cheese and plenty of tomato slices. :tellmemore:
Dreams count, do they? :P
Well if we're breaking the rules, I'm not only going to include drink, but a drink I was deprived of (FWP alert) - Costa in Bedford yesterday ran out of salted caramel cappuccino and also skinny milk.
Skinny milk sounds so wrong!
So, today I had my bi-annual fasting blood tests at 0830.
Then I went to the pubsturant just down from the surgery and had breakfast there.
There are no skinny brekkers, only large and super-large, so it was just the former - two each of sausages, bacon, eggs and hash browns plus the slightly healthier baked beans, grilled tomato and a largish fried mushroom. I omitted the "eat as much as you like" cereals, melon, grapefuit, sultanas, banana slices etc. But did indulge in the "drink your fill of coffee and fruit juices."
Not bad for a fiver.
Lunch was an apple and a raw carrot; tea will be a beetroot, tomato and cucumber sandwich on (relatively skinny) Danish and supper a banana!

Or a coffee hooch like Tia Maria.
That might be called a "White Russian", there is an actual cocktail called a "Black Russian"; vodka, Tia Maria and Coke, 1:1:3. Or to taste, great experimenting different proportions - well, you have to research these things . . .
Coke and coffee go together really well.

Hey, what about white creme de cacao:
QuoteA clear liqueur with delicious milk chocolate flavours

To each his own. The white Russian is so pleasing and smooth a drink that it is dangerous. One of the very few times that I have been smashed was at a new years party many years ago. That drink was the cause. The other time I was wasted, some 60 years ago, was also at a party where the drink called "Salty Dog' was the potion of choice. That one consists of Grapefruit juice laced with vodka. It is served in a glass with salt on the rim like a Margareta. Beware of vodka no matter what is used as a diluent.
