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 think we we'd get on

I was trying to work a more Alan Wicker angle...

Not Wicker Island?

Not Wicker Island?

I was thinking Foodie Towers?

Not Wicker Island?

Where good is bad and bad is about as good as it gets?
That's my world....

I have apple crumble with toffee ice cream.

I had better feed the cats because I am being stared at.

If I ignore them, Lexi will sink her claws into my glutes.

The left-over food from my leaving drinks has made 19 (small) meals worth of reddish gloop for pasta or rice, on top of the two meals it's already done. The freezer is now full.

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's the cats fed.

Am about to throw a pizza in the oven for myself.

Stop talking about Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

How did the Western riding go @hopless500?

Ok thank you. Was interesting learning to neck rein. Hard to ride one handed with the reins held up when you've spent years doing it the other way.
My back wasn't 100% happy (which rather buggers my legs up) but long long stirrup leathers took a lot of pressure off. Archie completely responds to neck reining and his owner doesn't use leg aids any more on him so didn't have to put any extra pressure on my legs and back. Had the leathers a bit too long though - will shorten them next time

Morning. A couple of my wife's pot plants are having a bit of a lie down. They must have had a rough night.
I know how they feel, I bit my tongue yesterday and it felt like it was swelling up in the night. It's okay now.

Snap... I'm not even sure how I did it other than drinking out of a bottle... felt a bit daft that I can't be trusted to get that right!

Should you be saying what your wife is growing!!

Makes it awkward talking though.

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?

Cheese and : A few slithers of very thinly sliced onion. Sliced tomato. Ham and pineapple. A teaspoon of chutney.
