I noticed that the cafe on Fordhouse Lane has reopened under new management so decided to soak up last night's booze with a fry up. Three sausages, three bacon, 2 eggs, black pudding, fried bread, hash brown, beans, tomatoes, 2 toast and a cup of tea for a fiver is remarkable value but I do feel lik...

Last night dinner was an actual 'feast'

Meat platter of wagu sausage, pork belly, beef cap and roast chick breast with 4 sides.

Thai massaman rice and steak

Got a 16oz rib eye steak from the butchers for my dinner. Mrs is going for a curry with her family, her younger sister is in remission from leukaemia so they're having a get together, I'm staying home, I get on with her family but some of them are of the ilk that if they have dinner out, their kids ...

Bought a large chunk of the Lidl fresh bakery section, cakes and bread that were still hot on the shelf. Stuffed now, but looking forward to fresh rye bread, butter, salami and cheese with a jug of coffee for breakfast in the morning.

I recreated a simple snack we tried on our summer holibobs last night, a slice of good bread that's been cubed on a plate, then dress it with a good first pressing olive oil, then sea salt and after that a scattering of dried oregano. It's an inexpensive accompaniment to a glass of good wine. I'd su...

... against the ad suppliers over the last week. Apparently there where some ad's being served out that chewed up bandwidth and cpu time, therefore eating up data allowances and killing batteries. I wonder if the same has been causing issues with desktop browsers as well, but it wouldn't have been ...

Couldn't be arsed to cook so popped down to the Oak for a burger (very good) and a couple of pints (even better).

fish, chips and curry sauce. Seeing as I can't go to the gym I may as well blob out.

Appetite has been a bit off so Mrs Gee made a Paella tonight, which was lovely, plus I get to have what's left for lunch tomorrow.

Had to make my own sandwiches this morning, which means a thick doorstep style manwich of thick brown bloomer bread, several slices of rare beef and loads of horseradish sauce.

Homemade soup and bread...problem was I cut up too much bread and stuffed my face!!

Homemade chicken Balti and garlic nan.

Burgers with chorizo and cheese, salsa and sautéed veggies. No buns on the burgers, low carbing.

fillet steak with buckwheat and black bean bake

They were alive????

Now that is genuinely disturbing.

To be fair I love seafood too, especially when it's fresh. However I think it was the fact that these Oysters were alive as they slipped down my gullet was my personal challenge. Besides all the other food was prepared so as to be tasted & enjoyed, so just swallowing something seemed a waste of ...

I love fish and I have enjoyed scallops fried in butter, but the whole having to add a sauce or condiment to it for it to taste any good I find pointless. I'll eat oysters killpatrick but I'm not fussed by them. In contrast my Dad can live on the stuff. He came to visit me when I was still in NZ for...

Same here, barring whelks and jellied eels I'll eat almost anything that lives in the sea.
