I presume you kept it outside? :blink:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Inna fridge silly;) Soups and stews are often better after a little quiet time.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Its probably a bit warmer in it. ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh yes, outside it's cold enough to test your frosticles.

Some sort of spicy tofu wrap from one of this mall food court places .., chop n rock ??? Actually it wasn't bad as you get to choose the fillings ..

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ham n tomato sandwich. You would think this time of year a nice mince beef and onion pie in the lunch box would be nice:(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It was shepherd' s pie tonight :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Leftover chicken vindaloo and rice packed in posh new Tupperware and darts on the computer. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

:thumbup: Any pics (the tupperware, not the vindaloo)?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Actually looking at the bottom of the container it is Rubbermaid not Tupperware. HID came home last night with a set like this.

She obviously had a good night at the Bingo.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Apparently they're going allow "us" to eat more leftovers for lunch and less pub food or takeaways. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Rubbermaid is good. Looks like fairly normal containers though.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Pumpernickel, sausage and sauerkraut with mustard and beer.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

According to Stephan Fry on QI, Pumpernickel means "devil's fart". :blink:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Good to know!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'd heard that it wasa mishearing of Napoleon saying that thr bread was ok for his horse to eat. "bon pour Nichole" or somesuch. Nichole was the hirse's name you see.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Haven't had pumpernickel in years. Any other recommended toppings (don't like kraut or mustard). The bread seems to overpower simple ham and cheese.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Maybe a spicy salami or some pickled tongue?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Definitely not the latter, but the former might work.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

If you don't like the strong stuff try cream cheese and smoked salmon.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had the rest of the devil's fart bread and pate, (the cat really thinks I'm eating his food), then wanted more so made a small order of chips and gravy. No adult supervision, that's my problem.
Then I had a plate of ham and brie and pickeled jalapenos and crackers, and when I burped it still tasted like kippers. That's some powerful stuff.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Kobasa, sauerkraut, and rye bread. Good thing sauerkraut's a vegetable!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It's going to be a bacon sandwich. I got the smoker going out the back door and a kilo of thick sliced bacon held together with 4 kebab skewers over the hickory for almost an hour now, with a little syrup drizzled over it. I'm trying to replicate the double smoked stuff Ukrainian Co-op has. A bit later on I'll take the kilo of chicken parts I have brining and get them going in the smoker as well.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

This warrants a photograph (as you know bacon is a BE obsession). :)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm having a bit of trouble with that, sent you a pm.
Er, email, it was an email. Ha ha.
There, I sent both, let me know if the pics don't come up. Thanks.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ok, downloaded your pic:

Looks like a good smoker and a big (!) slab of Canadian bacon...

<Can't seem to post the pic myself :confused:>

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh well, http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...nt=IMG1055.jpg
I wound up smoking 2 kg of bacon, (which came out really good), plus the chicken, now it's time to put that machine back in the basement.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Call it a late lunch, I had smoked chicken and rice wth some chili garlic sauce on the side. Vodka tonix, beer. I sauteed it in a little olive oil while the rice was cooking because it doesn't cook through in the smoker so always needs to be finished off somehow. That chicken is #1 but the skin sort of gets tanned in the smoker, (way too chewy). It was a shame because I like chicken skin, so I advise discarding the skin first to avoid the downer. Absolutely delicious and that's the Giant Tiger's sale chicken parts @ $2.50/kg, half price and I only bought 3 bags, darn.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A mate of mine has a smoker that I use but we only do salmon. Today we had crudités with a roasted curry cauliflower dip that HID had seen on cradle tv. As a result, I'll be popping up the road to MacDoanlds for a little chicken nugget livener before tea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

One good thing about The Plains Hotel getting torn down is I'm not walking home pissed going past McDonalds. I'd need the pit stop and buy something, (usually) and always felt mildly poisoned the next morning.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Having cable and so the Food Channel is changing what I do; this time I brined then put a spicy rub on the chicken for a day then a few hours in sauce before smoking it. After 2 hrs over mesquite I sauteed it and deglazed with bourbon. That worked pretty well. I threw some hot Italian sausages on the smoker at the same time, and sauteed the sausage chunks in the same pan after the chicken was done. It's good, the chicken is good cold with a ranch dip and I want to get some blue cheese dressing tomorrow and try that.
Lunch was spicy beef tacos, as predicted, and I may just have another with a little shredded cabbage and carrot.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Delivery pizza as I'm still on Christmas holidays. Just to add, this housework stuff is a doddle, press the button on the oven that says clean, go in other room as it's a bit smelly, drink beer and a play video game. I don't what HID is always moaning about. :confused:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

At work I had the 2 brownies my friend gave me yesterday, and so far for lunch I've had half a bottle of rose' and about half a pound box of Cadbury Selection choc covered biscuits.:)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Inspiring tweet from a pub I frequent when visiting London:

"We've got a beery beef casserole with rosemary & horseradish dumplings and a pint of ale for £10"

Would hit the spot at lunchtime. Shame I'm here and not there.:(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sounds lovely, especially the dumplings, but spill the beans... which pub?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I was going to buy some venison for lunch but it was dear.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Two rounds of egg and lettuce sandwiches with the crusts cut off. Smokey bacon flavoured crisps, a few grape tomatoes and a nice large slice of raspberry cheese cake. :thumbup:
