Re: Teatime Choices

Caesar salad, fish finger and shrimp sandwich, and corn on the cob.

Re: Teatime Choices

That ketchup reminds me of yesterday. We still had a TourtiÃ¨re pie left from Easter. I had a piece yesterday with a few dollops of HP Fruity sauce.

Yum yum, pig's bum.

Re: Teatime Choices

Bacon and shrimp pasta with (Classico) Milan/Vodka sauce.

Disappointed. So much better to have the Alfredo version.

Re: Teatime Choices

Bungalow pie.

Same idea as cottage pie, but flatter with a suitably enlarged footprint.

Topped with a parmesan crust.

If you order it out, when you come to pay you get a Bungalow Bill.

Readers with long memories will know this is to do with Joan Collins.

Don't know the Collins reference, but I laughed at your post :lol:

It's just ocurred to me that I've been making bungalow pies all this time, I do all mine in a large, flat dish.

Someone she had a fling with. Known as Bungalow Bill because "he had not much on top but a helluva lot below."

Oh! Makes sense :D

Re: Teatime Choices

You'll surely have heard it... ;)

Re: Teatime Choices

The womenfolk went to Walmart yesterday and amongst the other goodies they came back with were half price pork chops and boneless, skinless chicken thighs. A bit of each went into my MIL's chicken fried rice yesterday. Very nice as always. I can't get close to hers for taste.

There were three chops left so I did those for the others today while I was having a red Thai curry (thanks to a VH sauce jar - it's great). There were three thighs left that I didn't need for my curry.
I gave them a liberal coating of

and let them sizzle, opened out, on medium in a mix of extra virgin oil and butter, a few minutes each side.

We all had a taste and all thought succulent, tender and lovely. Even my mother in law who would normally start pulling faces at the idea of something Indian because it would not only be very unusual but "too spicy."

It was actually more savoury than spicy.

Looking forward to having it properly, as the meal, next time.

I can't get over the colour and texture of it. It was like perfectly cooked chicken breast.

Re: Teatime Choices

I much prefer chicken thigh to chicken breast.

But I've mostly been eating fish these days. I had grilled pollock fillets on salad and with a side of kimchi last night, it was lovely.

My name's Malcolm, Mal for short and you know 50 is the new 21? lol. I'm doing clean living these days since my second divorce and once I get my gallbladder out I'm going with my granddaughter to do some yoga and SUP. ;)
