Haha… I have a process for pea portions biggrin

If they are the sole veg, as above, a large cup full, top up with hot water, microwave 3 mins. Half a cup if they are accompanying other veg.

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

Just look at that tongue outtongue outtongue outtongue outtongue out portion!

Epic!
Pass the peas!

I have a process for pea portions as well.

It involves asking the waitress - can I have that without peas please?

Sounds reasonable. FWIW, you can wave them without the water, as with other veg.

A nomlette. Ham, cheese and shroom.

Looks fairly innocuous, the fresh red chili’s gave it a bit of kick.

Breakfast nothing special,



the bread was fried in the juices of last nights Chinese sausage, onions tomato’s and garlic.

Bonus, less washing up.

Pork belly, chips, tzatziki, salad.

Probably slightly pretentious that the chips were done with Cypriot Potatoes, but they were left over from an earlier pretentious meal.

I'm a definite "CBA to cook", but what to do when you fancy a smashing carbonara, without expending the time or effort for a trip to a posh supermarket for some sufficiently fatty guanciale to make the sauce work properly?
Presenting: Carbonara Scozia alla Costco smile
A slab of the mighty squeeeeeer saaaaawsage renders a suitable amount of liquid gold when diced and pan fried to a crisp, and a catering sized bag of grated Grana Padano cheese combined with a Kirkland egg sorts out the rest of the sauce.
Toss in the spaghetti with some pepper and a glug of its salty water, and hey presto!
Somewhere an Italian and a Scotsman are screaming at the sky in unison over my kitchen crime scene, but I have to say it was "Focken' Buonissimo!" lick

I don’t think that’s unpretentious… ignoring the sausage content, making a proper carbonara would be beyond most people as the Mantecatura process requires a decent amount of skill to get right.

By the way… I love that word… mantecatura… Italian is a beautiful language.

Last night I fancied a burger but the local shop didn't have any..they did have mince though so I made my own. 20% mince with lashings of salt and pepper and that's it. Was so much better tasting than shop bought ones that going forward I'm going to make these instead

As a Scot I can fully endorse this. Loving the full fillet of Lorne there

I'd never considered a spaghetti lornorama, but it sounds magnificent. Our local butcher does a great lorne, so I'll need to give this a try.
