I've never had a poor skirt steak. A very underrated cut, but not easy to find.

That said, we just had fillet, as I picked up a whole one from Costco last night. Served with Caesar salad.

Our neighbours are having their kitchen refitted as part of their house extension so we have been inviting them over a few times to help them out.
Last night we had slow cooked mutton shoulder with apricot harissa, dried apricots and pomegranate and green beans in garlic, tomato and tamarind with lavash bread.

Just been to a local charity farm/shop/restaurant (Crag Farm, in North West Leeds) for a late breakfast, as I had an 8am appointment at a hospital, and we decided to have breakfast afterwards.

I had a Full English (all local produce), and SWMBO had Eggs Florentine (and we had a Latte and a Cappucino to go with them) - the food was outstanding, and the service was excellent.

- the horseradish (sorry but I can’t stand the stuff) and that there is a cracking sandwich !!

M&S used to do a Sicilian lemon mayo which would have gone lovely in that

Re: What are you eating now?
 
I slow roasted a pork belly with some Korean BBQ sauce, served with noodles and veg in yellow bean sauce. Enough for another meal.
Tonight - I'm cooking some Italian sausages in Romesca style sauce, mash and some veg. If I turn the bangers into meatballs I think they will do 2 meals.
Tomorrow - slow cooked beef in a sticky sauce with tortillas, refried beans, sweet corn etc. This too will do 2 meals.

Re: What are you eating now?
 
Local Gusto’s just changed their menu, and we get a 40% discount off food, so we had a CBA moment and went out for a meal.

For starter, I had Calabrian Steak Tartare - the steak is seared, hand-chopped, infused with Calabrian 'nduja oil, gherkins, shallots and capers, finished with saffron aioli and toasted Puglian bread, and for main I had grain-fed Black Angus ribeye with cacio e pepe butter, skin-on-fries, & Romesco salad.

Washed down with a glass of Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Classico La Dama DOC…

Chinese takeaway prices seem to have gone nuts

£4.50 for a portion of egg fried rice
£6 for hot and sour soup
£9 for house special satay

And then they want £6 for delivery…..

Nope……

tweetiepooh 17-03-2025 09:37

Re: What are you eating now?
 
We try not to buy rice with takeaways as we can cook it in our rice cooker while we go fetch it or wait for it to be delivered. I prefer plain boiled rice so it's easy and as you can see from example prices above would save £9.
Unfortunately costs are rising and vendors can't absorb it all.

Good luck with the op. The few I know that have had it done have had good results. (though personally I'd have gone for a bottle of Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases 2018 :))
