UJ, I can assure you the pies are big enough for my appetite!
Oh, my post should have read ‘buy these pies…’ I have no idea how it ended up as ‘pie these pies…’
Had tinned carrot and coriander soup, with buttered bread and croutons for lunch. Got 3 small chicken drumsticks marinating in Schwartz ‘Perfect Shake’ chargrilled chicken flavour. I usually have Maggi packets or something similar indoors but have run out. I have found a sachet of chicken and sweetcorn rice, so that’ll go nicely with the flavoured chicken.
Been ‘naughty’ this afternoon - found my loaf just starting to ‘go off’ this morning, so rather than throw it away, scrunched up the half-dozen slices and crust that I had left and made a bread pudding this afternoon - now have the smell of cinnamon, all spice and mixed spice wafting in from the kitchen. When its sufficiently cool, will cut a couple of slices, place 'em in a bowl and pour custard over them - Mmmmmmm - delicious!!!
Comfort food for me, casserole and dumplings and then ate 3 Fox’s brandy snaps and my excuse for eating them is that I have to make hay while the sun shines because I can only buy them just before Christmas up here.
Today I am making a casserole using Chicken Thighs, I have skinned and boned them, added salt, pepper, mixed herbs, 1 tb. curry powder, sliced leaks and carrots, poured over a tin of chopped tomatoes and used a Coleman’s Chicken Casserole mix with a bit of water.
Steamed steak & Kidney pudding & steamed veg to accompany with a little gravy. For ‘pudding’ will cut more slices of bread pudding and pour custard over them.
For dinner, it will be a rib roast. It’s from ‘Belted Galloway’ cattle raised on a local farm and sold though an independant butcher - cheaper than Tesco too!
I’ve had white and milk chocolate for brekkie and lunch. Now I’m preparing for a long run to burn the calories off and then I will probably have more of the same for my dinner . Keep this going tomorrow as well and by late afternoon I should be crying out for veggies. Good way to get rid of sugar urges - as in overdose em out of your system.
Not sure I can eat anymore chocolate as my teeth are hurting - not the gums or anything but the teeth themselves. I think I will try sucking the chocolate in the middle of my mouth keeping it away from my teeth. Yeah, that might work .
