Is that scrambled egg on the toast?
I’ve rendered houses with similar stuff.
Nice bacon though, I just might make some with hot ciabatta and buttered mushrooms.
It is indeed - unpretentiously zapped for 2 minutes in the microwave with some milk. Tasted better than it looks (thankfully).

My snack game is pretty much crisps. So I’ve tried to up it a bit.

Now this might be a bit fancy for you lot, but this is four different meats, one of which I’ve rolled for fancieness. Served with crumbled cheddar.

10?? That's a handful (or two).

I get busy, forget to eat, then it's too late for a big meal.

24 of Lidl’s meatballs, seasoned and air fried for about 12 mins then dropped into some of Sainsbury’s own brand tomato and mascarpone sauce, which I melt a little cream cheese into to smooth it out. Love air fryer meatballs, so much easier than frying in a pan and all come out perfectly tender.

Naked pasta ?
You need to toss the spaghetti in the sauce before serving.

Nope, prefer it like that. I add a little garlic oil to the spaghetti before so it doesn't stick together. For proper Italian style, please refer to the Pretentious food thread biglaugh

I find a little butter in the hot pan after draining adds a nice flavour. Margarine for this thread obvs.

The final meal ‘cooked’ in my kitchen… a complete strip out and refurb will be DIY’d over the next 3-4 weeks (I’ll be staying in my neighbours apartment while doing g the work).

Iceland breaded cod fillets, chips and peas. Loads of vinegar, bit of salt and some ketchup. Lovely biggrin
