What did you cook or eat today (April 2025)?

[vernplum]

£4.49 at Lidl. S'ok. rascal NZ origin. Can't go wrong. Still looking for the Welsh ones.

Again, simply air-fried with some salt. Awesome.

Did you cut the crusts off? That's adorable

Yeah, didn't feel like eating crusts last might. TBH though, about half way through, wished I hadn't as I didn't use a bread knife and cut yhe on a plate, and they fought me.

Chicken wings with homemade pepper sauce with homemade ranch dressing.

Man, I feel like garbage this morning after eating these. I have no idea why. Ugh, they have lost their appeal.

 

[Puggles]

It's been a while since I made these and they will make me happier.

Dexter?!

Made these from msmofet recipe here. I can't eat nuts so left those out and had dark chocolate on hand. Mom loved them so had to leave before she took the lot!

 

[Puggles]

Dexter?!

No, just.... The truth.

Baking makes me feel better. Sourdough krusty rolls

 

[AdaptAndAchieve]

Spiced date and pecan muffins (they have treacle and molasses sugar in them too).
These will do nicely as a first breakfast item

Out for a curry with some mates last night, but mine was a bit disappointing.

First up I had a king prawn puri which was the best of my dishes. That was actually really good.

But my main was a chicken biryani and when it arrived I was poking around under this mass of vegetables on top looking for some chicken but couldn't find any, so called the waiter and said I thought I had been mistakenly served a vegetable biriyani. It had plenty of chunks of tomato, potato, broccoli... not things I'd normally associate with a chicken briyani.

Anyway he took it off me then used my spoon to dig in the rice and said it was indeed a chicken biryani and gave it back. So I had a look and under the pile of rice were some tiny cubes of chicken about 1cm on a side nestling amongst the grains. My mate and I counted 5 such pieces.

Anyway, the manager came over to try and make good and asked me if I would like some extra chicken and he would throw in some free chicken tikka. How could I say no? So they brought out these rather dry, overcooked and tasteless white strips (this is about a third of it after I'd passed it round as there was quite a bit):

So full marks for effort to try and rectify a slightly disappointing situation, but if I went there again I don't think I'd be ordering the biriyani or tikka. My mates' dishes all seemed to hit the spot with them.

I had a bottle of Cobra too, It was flat lol:
