What are you Eating/Drinking?

Had to improvise with the Jalapeños from our fridge since we forgot to get them in the meal but otherwise good stuff.

Thank goodness it's 100% real ice cream. I wouldn't want... whatever the alternative to that is.

 

[coryclifford]

99% sir.
What? Make it 100..
Wait. What?
100% deployed.
Copy that.

Another attempt at roast chicken crown... roasted the chicken on a bed of coursely chopped onions, carrots, whole garlic cloves, lemon thyme and rosemary - adding some chicken stock midway through to stop the veg from charring, and to make a lush gravy with the juices of the chicken mixed in.

This time I poured the gravy around the chicken and not over it so the skin stayed nice and crispy, and it was soooo nice.

I also rested the chicken after it came out of the oven and it was the best I've ever cooked, and I have made a soup for lunch today using the carcass and ample chicken trimmings, which will last for two days.

Spicy stir-fried prawn noodles with mozzarella and cucumber... soooo tasty and the cooling sides do a great job of keeping a lid on the heat...

Maybe life isn't a bowl of cherries but a bag of them? Maybe. These were so sweet they didn't even make it to the bowl stage.

Takeout cheese enchiladas!

Just ate a mango-flavored, sugar-coated edible with 10mgs of THC! Here we go!

I did a 50 mg the other day.
I made even less sense for two days.

Half a Crosta Mollica Stromboli pizza and some Volvic water to wash it down.

These are the best frozen pizzas you can get in the UK at the moment IMO - the Fiorentina (veggie) one is excellent with a bit of Milano salami on it 😅

Wow, lucky pick for me. It was really good and I smeared some of my favourite 'nduja on for an extra kick.

Some goofy ahhh sushi rolls for lunch

A potato, sausage, egg and cheese bowl for breakfast.

A rellie brought round a pork roast so I'm having a couple of slices with mashed potato. Crack(l)ing.

I’m having a late lunch of a store-bought BBQ and Black Pepper Toscano chopped salad. Quite good, actually.

What's Toscano? Is it olive oil?

Looking at the bag, it says “black pepper toscano cheese.” I just figured it was marketing speak for Tuscan. The brand is Trader Joe’s. I don’t know if you have that in the UK, but it’s fairly popular in the US.

OK. Sounds like it's Pecorino Toscano. I got confused because Google says there's Toscano cigars and leather alongside the oil.

I guess it's the equivalent to using "English" to describe baked goods or the amount of spin on a baseball, whereas to me it's a big list of words arranged using set rules of grammar and syntax.

So, back a few years, our semi-commie government decided to label food content with these black stamps: excess calories, sugar, and saturated fats, and so on.

The thing is, no one I know really cares about the labels, and for me, 3 black stamps means it's delicious!

And a cup of freshly made coffee.

Putting it on cake is stupid, but a consequence of bureaucracy. It should be on things you don't expect to be high in those things so that you're not accidentally consuming more than you think.
