First of all Reefer this thread is making me seriously hungry LOL.

Nothing beats a big old stockpot of Chili. There are tons of variations to the recipe. Make it on Saturday or Sunday and eat off of it for a week. That's my kind of cooking

I wish I was Cheesecake

Today I've been oatmeal and some prunes, a scrambled egg sandwich and now beer.

But I love to cook and have a blog here with a few of my originals Link Outdated / Removed

There's a group also with a bunch of recipes, but it's been a little inactive recently. Link Outdated / Removed

Since I cook for one, I try to plan left-overs, or freeze so I have something without resorting to TV dinners. Although I could scarf down a Hungryman Salsbury Steak right now.

My discretionary budget I'd mostly rather spend on gambling than take-away, so I'm forced to cook.

Sundays I always make something extra nice for myself, I have since I first moved out of home 30 plus years ago. Tried something new yesterday, a Tea-Smoked Salmon on the bbq, and it was a success. I hope to share the recipe with you soon.

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I think the menu is Irish Coffee and doughnuts, then a grilled cheese quesadilla for lunch, then beer and chips and more beer and more chips. Then bed and some aspirin.

The next day is probably back to oatmeal and prunes, and maybe some dry toast, lol.

I tried this a couple of weeks ago and my Son (33 and a somewhat picky eater said he would pay money for it) I took that as a compliment as he, my daughter-in-law and my husband ate it all!

It really is worth the effort!

If you like Pork and if you like garlic, then buy a Pork roast and make holes big enough to place a garlic clove into each hole....I mean ALL over...slow roast it and it is THEEEE best.

Serve with roasted pots and string beans with balsamic vinegar. OR peas with balsamic vinegar.......omg...I miss the UK...add some Yorkshire pud, too. lol.

Please make the gravey from meat and veg juice and NOT from Bisto. Thanks.


The Sunday roast, I miss so much as a tradition as it was in the UK for me back then.

My signature recipes are BBQ pork ribs and stuffed mushrooms - usually get asked to bring one or the other for family dinners.

My mushroom recipe: get some big mushrooms, take the stems and chop them into little bits, brush the caps with olive oil (and garlic if you like it) and lay them out on a baking pan. Cook up some ground italian sausage with the chopped up mushroom stems, little bit of celery and/or onion if you want. Once that's done, drain it throw it in a bowl and while it's still hot, add some grated mozza and parmesan. Mix it up til it's a gooey mess and throw a spoonful or so into each mushroom cap. Any leftover filling just stick in the spaces between the mushrooms. Throw a bit more mozza on the whole thing and toss it in the oven for about 15 minutes until the mushrooms are hot and the cheese is all melty. Definitely not diet food, but oh man, they're yummy!

I've also made them with shrimp and crab meat (less mozza and more parmesan and garlic) and made vegetarian ones with red pepper, celery and chopped portabella with extra garlic. Those are good too.

What we normally eat in the summer is anything you can cook on a firepit - steak, burgers, chicken, fish. In the winter more stews, roasts and anything that keeps the oven going and warming up the house. Now I'm getting hungry too.

Sorry, i just had to go and EAT something!

Very descriptive! I didn't have anything in the fridge but butter and bread rolls, right now...but you had my mind whirring and I could 'see' everything!

You bad.

I can't wait to buy new cooking utensils and really start to cook.

Great thread guys.

Those mushrooms sound wonderful. I'm going to make them for the 4th of July cookout. As far as what I eat, I live alone so I don't cook much, although tonight I fried up some potatoes with onions and made some spinach. My favorite dish at my favorite restaurant here in town is Rosemary chicken.

 

[chayton]

ok here's something that I eat occasionally for a healthy(ish) snack - my old roomie used to eat celery with peanut butter and I thought he was nuts. I tried it and what do you know, I actually liked it. Still thought he was nuts though.

 

[skiny]

Coffee for breakfast. Potato chips for dinner.... It's a good thing I eat while I'm at work.

When I first moved to Malta I was a bit worried about what the food would be like (I'm from Merseyside).
However on my first day I was introduced to the food of the Gods, one that combined almost all my dietary passions in one.
A pie that's filled with mushy peas! It's called a pastizzi and if anyone ever introduced it to Wigan they'd be a millionaire overnight.


Alas I can't find a decent curry or a good chippy...

 

[Reefer]

sounds like a rival for the pea fritter barm
used to see alot of people getting pies on a barm lol never really bothered myself
ive not tried a deep fried marsbar either

Food is very important in our house. We have four meals a day. Breakfast, Lunch, Coffee & Cake, Dinner. Not much processed food - most of what we eat is organic - home cooked meals. All cakes are from scratch and not too sweet. I'm a lucky guy and have all meals at home with the family.

Breakfast on weekdays we have musli (cold cereal - cheerios, cornflakes, oatmeal, etc) with fruit. Whole grain bread with marmalade. Coffee or tea.

Breakfast on Saturday is Broetchen fresh from the bakery with cold cuts/marmalade - fresh pastries.

Breakfast on Sunday is French Toast (I make killer French Toast).

Lunch: The main course of the day (hot meal) is lunch. A typical lunch menu for the week looks like this:

Monday - Spaghetti/Tortellini
Tuesday - Spiegeleier mit Spinat und Kartoffeln (fried eggs with creamy spinach and potatoes)
Wednesday - Lasagna
Thursday - Rice dish with Thai chicken veggies and sauce
Friday - Kartoffeln Pfannkuchen (potato pancakes) and/or fish

Lasagna is for lunch today

Lunch on Saturday is usually something simple (sandwiches with leftover Broetchen) Since we either grill or go out Saturday night.

Lunch on Sunday is usually a production number - Fleisch mit Knödel, Roladen with Red Cabbage, Tacos, or we go out

Coffee and Cake: The third meal of the day. (between 3:30 and 5pm) Cakes made from scratch (wife and/or daughter). Sometimes torte, sometimes cheese cake, or red wine chocolate cake. And coffee of course.

Dinner:
Dinners on weekdays - breads and cold cuts, fresh veggies, cheese, wine - maybe some leftover lunch.

Dinners on weekends - Friday is usually Pizza/Movie night. Saturday maybe grillin'. Sunday grillin or chillin' with cold cuts, bread etc.

Obviously in Meisterland, one must stay active or get fat. We like to eat

Jeezus Bryan!!! If I ate like that, I'd weigh 500 pounds, lol. Can I borrow your wife for a week or two?

Zucchini are known as courgettes in the UK I believe.

 

[Mousey]

I've just read thru this thread... and I'm starving! And I'm at work with only a Mountain Dew and a little bag of Doritos....

Tomatoes are coming into season, and I look forward to eating my fill of tomato sandwiches and chips with a hot pepper for zip.... and gaining 10 pounds by fall. LOL

Working really screws with good cooking, and because we don't like to eat heavy in the evening, there are times we do with hamburger steaks and baked potatoes, or Stouffer's Lasagna from the freezer, when I don't get off in time to do the 'real' meal thing for lunch. We also love those salads from McDonald's with the grilled chicken on top.

In the evening we eat light... grilled cheese or scrambled egg sandwich, or just a piece of leftover pizza, yogurt and a cookie, or Cheerios... or maybe I'll do a huge bowl of popcorn if there's a movie or ballgame we're going to watch.

Fridays are always 'cook's day off' (me ) so I grab pizza or burgers on the way home.

Butterfly, Butterfly Butterllllly! Yorkshire Pud is THE best!

Simple recipe:


1 cup beaten egg
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
salt
pepper


Don't open the oven to check on them...they will deflate. lol...and don't add too many eggs to this or you will have it reach the top of the oven! Trust me, it happened to me!

Most of all make the gravy from the meat and veg and do not make artifially (powder)...pour on Puds..some slow roasted garlic pork...or even better..Prime Rib roast....enjoy. Classic, not pretentious. British!
