catmag 336 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Chilli tonight. Basically everything but the kitchen sink as they say: Beef mince Red Onion Red & green peppers 1 tsp Chilli powder 2 tsp Chilli flakes 1 tsp Garlic powder and 2 cloves of garlic (why not?) 1 tsp Cadbury's Bourneville chocolate powder 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp muscovado sugar 1/2 tsp black pepper 50ml Dia de las Muertas (tequila-based hot sauce) 200ml beef stock 1 can chopped tomatoes 1 can kidney beans 1 can brown chickpeas 1 desert spoon red onion chutney 1 desert spoon ketchup 1 desert spoon mustard Gave it the good 2 and a half hours and grated a bit of cheddar on top to finish. Enough leftover to have for tea on wednesday providing I stop grazing. Seriously? There's only enough left for one more meal?! You piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42649 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I made one last night. It actually wasn't great. Don't think I put enough veg in but didn't have any more in the house. Dead low calorie though, which is what's needed at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two for this week are Nigellas sunshine soup (delicious) and CT's chicken and sweetcorn (fabulous baby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you don't cut your protein though mate or you'll burn muscle as well as or instead of fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42649 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I haven't lifted a weight for months! I'm obviously naturally nails ( ) but nobody would mistake me for anyone who bothers much with weights at the minute. But soon....! Anyway I reckon the protein thing is a bit of a myth encouraged by the supplement industry. I'm sure you need a bit more, but I bet these people who are wolfing down shakes every five minutes and 6 chicken breasts a day are shitting loads of it out.

Gemmill 42649 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah once I worked out what labels to look for in the supermarket to make sure I'm not supporting horrific farming practices, I got back in the game. Free range and organic all the way. Expensive business mind. 4 quid for 6 rashers of bacon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15115 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Any farmers' market type things within striking distance? They can still be expensive but cutting out the middleman can often knock a bit off the price, and you get to try before you buy and all. There's a risk of getting dragged into long and tedious conversations about cheese production techniques, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42649 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Aye there's a few up Northumberland way. Might be worth looking into - I always feel like they're dead expensive, but given the prices now I'm only buying organic, they might end up being cheaper at a farm shop. Good idea, cheers.

Not too far in the grand scheme of things, indeed, so ta for that. And http://www.brockleymarket.com/ is even closer to home (though it can be hard to cope with the picturesque beauty of its location in the Lewisham College car park).

Just a thought, isn't Wacky a bit of a market gardener? No doubt he'd do you a deal on a root vegetable and some string beans, just watch out for anything that looks like a plaster's radio.

Picking bits and pieces up for the Sunday's hangover cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
