 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I'm really loving cooking more Chinese, and especially Sichuan, dishes, it's been a real voyage of discovery for me through lockdown. My Thai repertoire is exactly one dish deep - pad horapha moo - but I love it so much I make it most weeks. It's pretty simple, and the only specialist ingredient is the horapha (Thai basil), which my local supermarket stocks - I have everything else in anyway. | ||

Added some thyme for flavour. Grapefruit for afters. Total cost, zero! My gran might kick me out of the house as I've collected 5 bags (probably over 10 kilos) of mushrooms over the past 3 days. I'm bored now, anyone wanna go mushroom picking? | ||

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | About 6 or 7 aubergines, sauteed with onions, LOTS of whole garlic cloves, tomatoes. I got 3 packs of noodles that i'll most likely have straight after training. Yesterday, the kebab place finished their doner at around 1:30. I gave him a bollocking and he put on 2 boneless chicken thighs that were marinated in doner seasoning. He does it all himself. Served with salad and only 1 pitta bread as I wasn't hungry. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Festivity requires a roast, so: chicken, potatoes and parsnips, pigs and shallots and garlic, sprouts and chestnuts in butter, and some frankly insane mustard tarragon gravy. Enough for one man. https://i.imgur.com/B50EMGA.jpg I saved the chicken breasts and oysters for another use, and ate everything else. Then I went for a walk so as not to die. | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Great work. I had goose and turkey yesterday, with various sausage meat stuffings, pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese, peas, roast potatoes, honey glazed carrots, sautéed sprouts and bacon, and god like gravy. My best Christmas dinner to date. | ||

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I made cream of asparagus soup with onions, garlic, potatoes, some milk, and thickened with some flour. Need to clear the fridge out before the new season starts, which is in a couple of weeks. Total cost about 2 pence for the flour and milk. My gran fried potatoes, onions, eggs, and artichoke hearts, total cost zero. I grabbed the food she cooked and left for me, put it in the soup, heated it up and ate it all out of a pot with a spoon. | ||

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I had a sudden craving for Scotch eggs. 1lb of mince was about half a day's wages. This is why we don't eat much meat. 5 eggs, plus one for beating 500g mince 100g spam type stuff, the recipe called for ham but not got any over here Breadcrumbs Garlic - home grown Sage from the garden Thyme from the garden Took me 4 minutes to eat the lot. The mince wasn't even cooked thoroughly on all of them but SO good. Now I feel a bit queasy. | ||

I then made more wedges and had a whole spatch-cocked quail, plus 200g baby biscuits. Still hungry. | ||
