Rabbit Pie ! And, for the purists, made with shortcrust pastry, NOT puff pastry ! ? ! Cheers.

Family get together at ours, so a bit of a spread.. 13 hour cooked brisket, slow cooked pork shoulder.. Home made coleslaw, stuffing, roasties... and a 2 day hangover! Lol

Treat off my dad tonight, he's a friend on the fresh fish stall up town... Scallops and lemon sole fillets...

bit of an experiment today...American East coast chowder..........turned out fine and i enjoyed it.....but it has too many ingredients which spoilt the simplicity...of the original dish......the Scottish Cullen skink.....which is supreme

looking thro' reciepes for the american version im gobsmacked at the number of different versions.....some even have Paprika in it.......

KISS......keep it simple stupid...........Cullen skink reigns supreme after hundreds of years

Most people seem to have 1 of these so I'm a bit late to the party but got 1 yesterday. Mostly cook for 1 these days and getting a bit lazy, fresh veg = too many pots and cleaning etc. Chips tend to be oven ready, a blasphemous thing to say on here I know. Purchased to give the home made chips thing a try as can no longer be bothered with deep fryer and chucked the chip pan out years ago due to H&S. Fresh veg without all the pans would be a bonus.

Tried air frying sausages yesterday, good quality sausages. They were definitely cooked and edible but without the lovely sausaginess that you get when fried or grilled. But after reading the manual that could have been my fault, they still need turned during the cooking process that I had not done.

I've got the Tefal air fryer oven. Them ninjas are okay. For like you say cooking for one. But these Tefal air fryer ovens are something else. Do owt in them mate. You can some of the ninjas. I've got a small air fryer for the rotisserie for doing home chicken Donna , and tandoori chicken. That's a brilliant little air fryer. We never use the oven much. Wife used it today to make some homemade custard tarts that's about it.

£229.00 at Curry's yesterday. Had done bit of online search last week and could have got slightly cheaper but an impulse buy when walking past the shop. Was worth it to take the young salesman apart in front a big queue when he was desperately trying to sell me extended insurance. When he said "once you take it out of the box you are not covered" a more experienced colleague intervened and gave me £29.00 off for cash sale to get rid of me.

Cod n chips from a van. The chips look pale but taste really good, Maris P I think. Nice bit of cod, not coastal quality but twice as good as the local chippy, which is indicative of what lazy shits they are, when a man in a van can produce much much better.   Edited to say the sausage was insurance against the fish being shit.
