I made this crispy calamari on Thursday and Saturday, by far the best most crispy calamari recipe I know.
I had 3 batches, but only cooked each batch at a time to avoid clumping.

Where do you get the calamari from Conradd ?
Iāve tried the cheapo frozen stuff from Tesco but frankly it tasted of rubber! Thatās probably largely down to me.
To be candid I used to keep some in the freezer as a back up sea fishing bait.

Thanks, no I cook it like that in its clingfilm in hot water and then let it cook and then cooked it in slices fried, having just said I donāt fry sausages!
The reason for that process is I didnāt have and sausage skins.
Oh are you dieting?
I got whole frozen squids, defrosted in cold water then made the calamari.
Max 80 seconds deep fry, itās juicy n soft inside, crispy ābatterā on outside

Oh you never fail to amuse me 
No Conradd, I adore smoothies and have them most days. Very healthy and with the amount of concoctions I make up, its a meal in itself.

Oh I see, it was the wanting toast accompanied with the sigh that made me think you might be on a diet, sorta wishing āsighā you could have toast.
Smoothies can be healthy indeed, I like them with kiwi fruit included, but no banana as I donāt like bananas in a smoothie.
Steak pie n chips smoothie next

Well Iām trying to keep to a healthy diet, so you arenāt entirely wrong. I love hot buttered toast and happily live on it alone most days, but it isnāt the best idea!
Steak pie and chip smoothie soundsā¦interesting! Mind you, I live in the lands of deep fried mars bars so I have a cheek to roll my eyes at anything

Lunch is going to be a pack of chicken drumsticks cooked in the oven with a ready made Cajun rub.
Tonight my son will be preparing a chicken curry using yesterdayās leftover roast. This time heāll be blending his own curry powder using the multitude of spices we have stashed away 
As for tomorrow Iām not sure although itāll be a non chicken dayā¦

MMmmmm, protein points there!
Iām having jacket potatoes (airfried) with toppings
Ms d00d loves tinned tuna more than I, but I do enjoy this ā¦
The secret is to really get the flavour of the onion and garlic into fish, smash it up on a high heat till slightly charred, lower the heat, add the egg.
I also make a pasta sauce, onion, garlic, tuna, charred, add mushrooms, toss till theyāve shrunk a bit, add cream.
