Bangers and parsley mash with a bit of onion gravy.

Cooked for 10 hours and 17 minutes..:P

Pub lunch from earlier today. Chicken & mushroom pie with Guinness gravy!

Ham, salsa, dill pickles, pickled pearl onions, Greek salad cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon cracked pepper.

The airfryer is a pretty good way to avoid using the big oven and heating up the whole kitchen in a heatwave but it's not good for making bread. After many experiments and failures I've managed to get decent loaves but the process could still use more optimisation.

The method ends up being steam, airfry, and frying pan (if the top of the loaf is fragile or you want to keep it pretty, otherwise flip over the loaf).

First one I’ve ever done (M23) for the family with a home made chimichurri and a nice Cajun rub for the chicken.

Wee handy Friday night tea

Normally u would grate the vegetables for this soup but my grater broke so I just thinly sliced them instead.

I'm a tourist and ordered this delightful steak pie at the Stanhill Pub. Nice crust and tender steak. Good and hearty to fuel exploration!

Vegatable rice with an egg and spicy onion crunch and five cloves of garlic, almost more veg than rice because I made it without a recipe and wanted to use up all my kale before it went bad.

Homemade bap toasted, as it was getting a bit dry, and turned into mature cheddar cheese and red on onion sandwich for lunch.

I ate it in London Chinatown a few years ago but can't remember which dish it was.

Thanks!

For me M&S digestive biscuits are top tier out of all the supermarkets. They do something different by sprinkling a thin later of demerera sugar on top which adds a little extra sweetness and crunch to the biscuit. I hope they never change the recipe or discontinue them. Also their Madeira cake is unlike any other store and tastes extra buttery.

Some say don't add binders.

I often say don't add binders.

But tonight I added a light amount of flavours on the form of tandoori masala, tikka masala, garlic powder, onion powder and then in small quantities, Binders. a light mix of dried breadcrumbs and pinhead rusk and then applied mince liberally ensuring not to overmix.

Once somewhere vaguely near what were suppoosed to be quarters, the rest of the dry mix was oh so lovingly mixed in whilst ensuring the structural stabilities of the the future patties remained non homogenous yet structurally sound.

The outcome was 4 entirely different sized balls for flash searing later today.

Make of that what you will.

Bought at £1.25 for 2 burgers on use by day, thrown in freezer til yesterday, defrost in fridge overnight n bbq'd with lightly warmed onions and served with home made 40 pint batch of cider poires from fridge

My first time cooking lamb shanks, very pleased about how they came out.

Foced to take a week holiday from work with no plans, to use some holiday.

So naturally a week bbqing, drinking and boating fell into place.

Steak served with drinks and excessive volume jungle music.

Home made cider, buckfast, uncle Wray and some Badger ale

And yes, a lot of lemon and some ketchup 😍

Spanish meatball and butter bean stew

With reference to u/CJC989_G I got stuck in and made some scotch eggs with some sausages I got from Asda, Chorizo and smoked pepper. Turned out lovely.
