Oh, hope the rest of the day goes better!

Thanks. I've been asleep for most of it. My wife is sleepy to, although Gwen is way ahead of us both.
Schrodie is on a blanket on my lap and is about to nod off.

We used to have a Breville sandwich maker in the seventies. It used to make the sealed edges rock hard and a sure way of breaking a tooth.
I think used to make corned beef and cheese.

Eggs and beans to close for comfort.

You could easily tweak that to a lower calorie version... Use back bacon medallions (grilled), plus grill the toms & 'shrooms, poach the eggs and use low sugar beans. Swap the bread for wholemeal et voila!

I nearly always have a tin or two of corned beef, to have with chips etc. That sounds like a good idea. I could use tinned sardines, as well.

Corned beef and chutney sandwiches made with doorstop white bread and lots of butter.

She said cheese, not deep-fried squirrel.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

I like toasted sarnies. My toasted sarnie maker was given to me yonks ago, and is difficult to clean. So I have been experimenting with toasted sandwiches "fried" in a frying pan. I follow the same process by spreading the spreadable butter on the outside of the bread, adding a small knob of butter to the pan. They are much betterer than ones done in the machine. I found the trick to squishing them, is to wait until the first side is nicely brown, and squish them once they are turned the first time. The real bonus is that they take less time this way than in the machine.

Fried this way, there are IMO much better, and you can keep the crusts on. The bread goes crispy, and is not soggified. So far I have just used cheese, but what other things do peeps put in their toasted sarnies?

Corned beef is good.

LOL... About two stones of Maris Pipers, that's somewhere in the region of 15 kg - plenty of chips, plus I do mine in beef dripping when I do make them...

Just as well I picked em up on saturday night, the rest (that were too damaged to take) were brown goo all over the road when I went out this morning.

We were given 30kg of them by a friend yesterday. Given I'm not eating spuds during the week they're going to take some getting through!

Same here. I'm just as likely to have bread, rice, noodles, pasta etc with my main meal as I am potatoes.

On the flip side, now that we're into October, it's definitely jacket spud season.

I have stopped eating white bread, and prefer wholegrain or seeded or multigrain.

I like wholegrain Basmati rice, and wholegrain noodles. What about dumplings?

My bread of choice is usually wholemeal or rye (whether bought or home-baked), but occasionally, a white bread goes down rather nicely. I have a weakness for tiger bread.

As in suet-based and simmered on top of a casserole? If so, then YES!!!

Love dumplings myself, but as the parental unit isn't too keen, I don't have them as often as I'd like.
