Lunch, fresh local sourdough. I added a bit too many jalapeños and it had some heat so had it with ketchup.

I'd never made any of these things before and I was feeling 🌟 foodie 🌟

All a roaring success. The soup is like a spicy cream of veg with some shredded boneless chicken thighs in.

Not many people realise how hard it is to punch a chicken. You can do the usual run-up, like you would punching most animals, but chickens are just really good at the bob and weave because of their annoying necks.

One man named Bob Geldof, had hurt himself so many times trying to punch this one specific chicken, that he was literally covered in band aids. He looked in the mirror with regret and self loathing and realised he needed practice. So he went to his local butcher and bought as many chicken breasts as he could (some say, they reminded him of his mother) and hung them all around the house. Then he would roll and spin around like an even slower Stephen Seagal and punch the breasts as hard as he could.

The kitchen breasts would always fall into his bread bin contaminating his Hovis half and half. This enraged Bob until something finally snapped. He threw the chicken, covered in old bread, into his fireplace, screaming “Damn you Africa” (this was the name of the original chicken he wanted to punch) “I’ve spent years on this and Lenny Henry is still more famous!”.

Once he had finished crying, he saw one punched up chicken, golden brown and glistening at the side of the fire place. Not being able to resist, he shoved the whole thing into his mouth and fell in love with the flavour.

Bob later held a big concert to celebrate Africa and even though it was pretty performative and not really about the chicken itself, it did solidify Bob Geldof as the first person to created the Chicken Flatboy

I think i need more potatoes idk tho🗿

Made this straight after work yesterday. Needed a cozy night in with good food and a show or two.

Creamy pasta with meatballs and sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream 😋

Steak and chips. My own critiques chips could have done with more colour however texture and taste wise perfect also steak a little less time. Critique me 😂.. also some reason Reddit done me dirty and made it look all pale just pretend your seeing everything more vibrant lol

My husband gave it an 8/10 but thought it could be ‘saucier’. I agree. I used beef chunks instead of mince. Cooking them low and slow all day into a ragu. The ragu dried out a bit in the oven but overall it was delicious.

Edit: I hear you all and will redeem myself one day with a juicy lasagna. Until then, I will use the remainder as sawdust.

Applewood smoked homemade alfredo sauce using roasted ghost peppers. It was deathly but delicious!

Just started dating someone, so had to pull out old reliable.

Rick yolk Gnocchi with parsley ran through. Blue cheese sauce made with double cream that was infused with a whole bulb of garlic and a couple shallots.

Hey everyone! I would love your opinions on this appetizer I made tonight.
