What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

[Decypher]

@Decypher hasn't done a damn thing around here since that show started. I'm going to check it out tonight.

Only 3 episodes left and then I’ll be back to cleaning out @RedAkston ”rumpus room.”

 

[Decypher]

No , we always go with the original voices. Apparently they cleaned it up a bit in the dubbed version…don’t want to make the wokeists cry lol.. Got to episode 3…enjoying it so far.

Episode 4 is quite an adventure.

 

[Big Eye]

Episode 4 is quite an adventure.

Watched 4 and 5 tonight, very entertaining . Korea is making film and tv better than some of the woke bs coming out of the States now…after watching the ultra woke “Midnight Mass” ( filmed in Canada I believe) I can confirm that lol.

 

[Big Eye]

Chinese take away tonight…Special curry, vegetable rice, chicken balls and some of my wife’s Kung po prawns…

 

[ASHES]

BEEF enchiladas.

 

[Helix]

Cherry balsamic sirloin with potatoes and Brussels sprouts.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

Shrimp salad sandwich on French baguette.

 

[Callen]

Lovely Fall weather here sunny and warmish with glorious foliage........so made a big pot of chile and home made southern style biscuits. This weekend is Thanksgiving and all that goes with that but I am totally focused on the next day leftover turkey and stuffing sandwiches on squishy white bread and mayo......better than the main event.

 

[Lovebug]

Sounds great…I love Indian food and British style Indian food is very tasty…but they probably wouldn’t recognise it in the Indian sub-continent ….it developed over time to British tastes.

Our local takeaway is great…

I suppose it is the same for all foreign and domestic cuisines. Each cook has their own recipe and adjusts it to the taste for whom they cook.
You are lucky. Watching British telly often makes my mouth water with all their talk about take-aways from Indian, Thai and Chinese places. We are very restaurant poor around here, but that's a price we gladly pay for having peace and quiet around us.
As an aside, we found that Yorkshire Gold makes for great iced tea. We just finished our second order. Amazon, the world at your fingertips.

Yorkshire Gold is very good tea…we tend to have that or decent stuff from Waitrose…cheap teas just ain’t worth it. Tea is massive over here but I think coffee is catching it up. When I was a kid I never saw my mum at home without a cup of tea near by…she must have had 20 to 30 cups a day lol.

There are many restaurants around Portsmouth …hundreds within a 10 mile radius of here but many are generic and not that great. The UK has a poor reputation for food ( it was poor in the 70’s) but I’ve been right around Europe and although there is great food in places like Rome ( cheap too) the UK has by far the best choice and the quality of the food you can buy is very high too…though you can slum it lol.

Port Solent is a 20 Min walk from here…a bit generic but lovely on a warm summer day…

We're doing a turkey and stuffing, ham, rolls, cranberry sauce, cream corn, broccoli and carrots, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, store bought pumpkin pie and making a blueberry pie tomorrow. Probably forgot a couple of things.

I made a generic red curry with basmati rice and warm naan.

It's only 72°F here today and I was sweating, even though that was a nice breeze with all of the windows open. I have no idea how they manage to cook this same food in the Asian subcontinent with the heat and humidity much higher. I would melt or starve.

It was very good but I am not a hot weather person.

I'll just sail into Portsmouth in my 65' Oyster. I love videos of the Solent in boat launch videos.


Yea right. I couldn't afford the dinghy, but I can dream.

Years ago we had guests from Newfoundland at the cottage and they insisted on making dinner for us and it runs in mind it was a turkey in a bag with veggies . AM I having a magic mushroom moment?

I've not seen that but it sounds like something that would be traditional here, especially if they were root vegetables.

This was niggling at me so I did a little Google homework. I was wrong it wasn't turkey it was corned beef and its called a Jiggs dinner

Jiggs dinner is a common Sunday meal here.

 

[Helix]

Double cheeseburger
Split a small order of fries with the dogs.

I wish a happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian members.

I'm still cooking tonight's dinner (very late dinner) My version of ratatouille with pasta.

 

[Parrish]

Had a deli lunch and really pigged out, so much that I had to chomp several TUMS. I laid out the leftovers and had a bowl of Special K with almonds and an English muffin with raspberry jam.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

Charcoal grilled boneless ribeye steaks and fresh cauliflower, oven roasted.

The Solent is great, especially on a hot summer day when it is teeming with sail boats , wind surfers , para surfers and various military and commercial vessels. My mother and father in law are in the process of relocating back there ( to Ryde) so we’ll have plenty of excuses to get over there in the future. The Isle of Wight is beautiful…it always feels like England 50 years ago to me…except the prices lol. I’ve worked in Cowes…that’s a beautiful little town where a lot of famous people who like sailing hang out.

It gets busy…
