I am like an addict, I eat brie and cranberry toasties at home every day, and when out on a ride faced with a cafe lunch menu I find myself ordering a ham, brie and cranberry pannini!

So this evening I made amends by eating fresh baked salmon with parsley, and a mince pie (I found an uneaten box of luxury ones left over from christmas yay!). If I get the munchies at midnight I will probably have a brie and cranberry toastie though  :-[

Shame you live on the other side of the country otherwise we would cordially invite you to our sandwich shop for brie and cranberry anything you like!

Well I will bear that in mind when I am travelling to the other side of the country for an Audax, thanks  :thumbsup:

I forced myself to have a bacon and cheese toastie for lunch instead today. It was nice but I am still craving something ....

Pheasant. It's pheasant night at the pub. A special night with one thing on the menu no choices. Pheasant. All supplied at cost to the pub by locals who shoot or are involved in the game trade and the meal charged at cost to the punters (£5 a head) also all locals. So that will be pheasant for 60 please. Makes for a busy night in the pub on what would otherwise be a quite January night and the landlord makes his money on the booze.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Yesterday's vegetable stew turned into 'bolognese' with added Italian herbs and some mince and pappardelle.  Probably help it along with a bottle of Barolo.

I was just picking up a couple of odds and sods in the Co-op on my way home when I saw those Fray Bentos tinned pie things.  
"Wow", I thought, "I haven't had one of those for well over 30 years."

So........
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Made exactly the same mistake some months back!!  (Actually I thought it was OK, the missus disagreed).  DO NOT read the nutritional information on the tin!!

For my dinner tonight, I'm serving home made pork sausages, onion marmelade, potato and celeriac mash, and haricot blanc in a rich tomato sauce (courtesy of Heinz).   :smug:

Freezer roulette landed on Quorn burgers, which I enlivened with a baked potato, Heinz beans and steamed cabbage.

Pheasant, eh? makes a change from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/7IISZgCEaoE&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/7IISZgCEaoE&rel=1</a> I suppose.
It's a bit weird, but actually quite wonderful.

Was a good night and raised £200 from rattling a bucket for Macmillan Nurses and the Air Ambulance. Much appreciation of the three guys who skinned 80 pheasants on Monday to provide the basis of the meal. A tad too much boozahol was drunk by all too.

I am having raw garlic. At least that turned out to be overwhelming sensation of my normally delicious garlic-onion-carrot-tomato pasta sauce. It almost made me  :sick: probably because I was hungry due to having had no proper lunch. So I had to have some yogurt to settle/kickstart my stomach, and do a bit more cooking.  :-[

Fried chicken, chips and beer - and later than I'd normally eat dinner.  It will wreak havoc with my weigh-in tomorrow morning, but at the moment I really don't give a damn.

I cooked Jamie Oliver's herby chicken kebabs, but I cremated the pitta bread by accidentally putting the oven on maximum power fan oven rather than grill. They are rock hard!

BrianI's patented random risotto.

A risotto made from random tins from the cupboard.  This evenings randomness was brown rice, green beans, petit pois, mixed chop nuts, mixed dried fruit, soy souce, and a wee bit of curry powder.   :thumbsup:

Risotto.  One with chicken and bacon and onion and pepper and garlic and mushroom for the meat-eaters, and one with onion and pepper and garlic and mushrooms and peas and green beans and asparagus for me.  And garlic bread.  YoungestCub objects, and is having to be bribed to eat risotto with garlic bread.

Herring poached in tomatillo salsa, with beetroot salad.  And I've just loaded up the slow cooker with what will become boston baked beans in one compartment and winter vegetable gratin in the other.  9 hours from now, will be having a nice hot breakfast and then boxing up the rest of it for packed lunches.
