Scars are fun to talk about after they heal......

Real men have scars, you know....

'Sounds like you had a wonderful day with him.

It's been too many years since I last went fishing.

Get a Blood pressure cuff and monitor your blood pressure about 1/2 hour before and after you eat. Also do you get up in the middle of the night to pee alot?

Share beers or check up on your she bear. You know that bear misses you.

Be well, and take your zinc.

Good luck with that!

I'm so glad ya'll had a good time. Spending time with them is so important.

Our granddaughter's other grandpa spends a lot money on her. Mr worried about that for a while that we didn't have money for her. Now, he see that time is more important. That is what she'll remember.

Ouch Lance! Hope it is feeling better today. (Homeopathic arnica is good for trauma and bruising)

Os, I'm so glad you had a great time.

Pool, nice to have you back, sounds like it was a fun time.

Simple, I hope your daughter is finding some comfort in happy memories. It's so hard to lose a friend at that age.

Louis, your salad looks so good.

Para, I am all in for your leftovers any time except seafood. lol

I just got home from a 12 hour day (all week it seems) and my daughter made us a good carb loading meal. Garlic bread spaghetti boats. She used garlic scapes to make the garlic bread and made one with pesto and one bolognese. Both were delicious!

The boats look very pretty!

Mr wanted breakfast. So I scrambled eggs with mushrooms & broccoli with havarti cheese & a bit of leftover gravy, roast beef hash, hash browns, & a bagel. So much food! It looks nice, but no way am I going to eat this.

An impressive and lovely meal.

It looks epic in any event!

Looks like everyone has been busy today. It's been an exhausting day here.

I had to go to therapy for shoulder where stuck needles in the muscle again.

Then I had to get a blood test for my thyroid. It shouldn't have been a big deal except it took 2 woman 2 sticks each before they could get the blood. I don't have huge veins, but it's not usually that hard.

I put chicken thighs in the oven earlier. I made Baby mac cheese & green beans. We're having baked zucchini & mushrooms, maybe a chicken sandwich. I bought Hawaiian buns.

Hang in there Paranoiaaaaa, things like that are normal for me, too. So, it was definitely a lemonade moment for me and I downloaded the cameras and all that jazz, to make my first ultimate lemonade. Yep, never made this lemonade before today!

enjoy

Hi Para, sorry to hear you had a long day with the doctors. I hope you're feeling a little better and relaxed tonight. Your dinner sounds yummy. :)

We had chicken kabobs with red onion, green and red bell peppers, and zucchini. They were delicious and healthy!

Last night Nef made a delicious stuffed chicken with Italian sausages and provolone cheese inside. Homemade marinara on top. It was really good! :)

That's different. I bet it was good.

I'm feeling much better with a little help.

Glad you're feeling better! And that pic is so true!

Best medicine ever!

Yum Simple27!! Freaking Yum.

I'm so glad you all posted.

I checked the thread several times today and feared everyone was dead!

Be well, be safe, remain alive. Please!

I'm hanging in there!

Howdy & salutations to Paranoiaaa <3 & all you lovely people on the foodie thread. I hope that everyone is keeping well & having a great week so far. I hope that it's okay to drop a local recipe from my neck of the woods here & to share it with you all. Hope you are feeling better too Lance as that looked like a nasty knock you took to your face.

The Northern Irish Chip Shop Pasty

Here is a very rough & ready recipe for making Northern Irish fish & chip shop Pasties. These are not to be confused with the Cornish pastie & is an entirely different dish.

Combine cooked sausage meat and mashed potatoes. More meat than potatoes also finely chopped onion in a bowl. I would estimate a 60% to 40% ratio meat to potato.

Add a dash (enough to just season) of nutmeg, same of Mace, allspice, coriander, ground ginger, ground cloves & Lots of Pepper.

Mix all the ingredients together and form patties then dust them with flour. Freeze and when they are frozen they will be ready to cook.

The batter is comprised of Self Raising flour and soda water that forms a nice soft batter. Dip the frozen patties into the batter & with a spatula carefully lower them into preheated deep fat and fry them until they are golden brown.

Serve them with a few homemade chips & some bread and butter. Garnish with salt, vinegar, red or brown sauce or not depending on your own taste.

Hope you enjoy these & have a go at making them for yourself. Dear DB <3 tried this recipe & they were a big hit with her children. Thanks for taking the time to read & I will try to bring more local recipes & ideas for meals from my neck of the woods to the thread in the very near future.

The link below is a step by step guide that is easy to follow although they missed out on the onion. &

Great to see you, green heading your way as soon as I have more, I used them all up last night and this morning.

I've had a Cornish Pastie at Penny Lane Pub [there may have been a song about it ] and liked it. I'm alone the last two weeks of June so I'll see about having the proper ingredients to cook one.

These are very different from the cornish ones Louis! They are so nice..the batter was what really surprised me. It didn't really give the measurements so I winged it and it said 'until it makes a soft batter' and it really really does! It's all pillowy and cooks up really nice and light in the oil. My son couldn't get enough of them!


and Good morning foodies! I just made some brekky for my son who is helping me with work this morning.

Ouch! I hope you are feeling better soon. The dinner fare sounds good.


Good morning pool, you may need to explain "lemonade moment". 'Not sure if a drink or an allusion.

Edit to add: after posting I saw the pic. It looks like a lemon martini!

OMG that looks great and sounds even better!

I'll send my address for shipping purposes if you want an informed, impartial, evaluation of it!

Hello & hope that you have a great day ahead of you Louis <3. These pasties are a very different dish altogether. They are not really available on the UK mainland but well worth a try sometime. If you can remember to make them, let me know if you liked them or not. Always great to see you dear Louis <3 & hope to drop back in later to catch up with you.

It's too bad "grass-fed beef" isn't medicinal.

Hello & hope that you have a great day ahead of you BBQ BOY <3. Best wishes to you from here friend.
