Nah still overseas I'm afraid. Get back a couple of times a year. Tend to avoid the depths of winter though! Hope you're doing well Sir. |
Very well, thanks for asking. Winters here can't be as bad as over there? Family all ok? What wheels have you got now? Some massive American job I expect. | | | |

We don't really have winters here anymore though. Not proper ones.
Since climate change kicked in we just have high water and low water. |
Heh, 4 inches of snow here y'day says different, and I still remember driving through 12 foot high walls of cleared snow on both sides of the lanes during very prolonged cold spell a few years ago (winter of 2012-13?).
Anyway - I used to love a tin of Campbells Condensed Tomato soup, with an egg stirred in & cheddar cheese melting on top!
These days, split green pea soup, cooked till the peas have disintegrated completely, with just a bit of salt (occasionally with a bit of ginger too) does the job. Yummy, like eating pure mushy peas but just a bit runnier. Very warming. |  |

Home-made pea and ham soup. As in boiled up the dried peas to make pease pudding, boiled the ham, made soup from them with some cream, bit of butter, salt and pepper. With crusty bread. |  |

Stew and dumplings
The Mrs makes an amazing chicken dinner. But it’s not a roast, she won’t tell me what it is, apparently it’s a family secret. It’s divine though.
Lasagne.
Chilli con carne done in the slow cooker with stewing beef, not mince.
I do a mean roast dinner.
Leek and potato soup.
Tartiflette |  |

Oh I appreciate we still get the odd snowfall as well as occasional falling temperatures.
But, at risk of sounding like the 'we don't get the winters we did when I was a boy' thing.
We don't, we just don't.
I remember buying a scolding hot cup of tea from a burger van on Ipswich market and I dropped it. By the time it had hit the floor the liquid had frozen.
Now it would just splash your shoes.
" Campbells Condensed Tomato soup, with an egg stirred in & cheddar cheese melting on top!" I was trying to get my head around this when I glanced at the mushy peas line.
You've been living that way for too long clearly.
You'll be eating stotties next. |  |

But I'm always told that four inches isn't a lot? 
Pecker, I'm with Newcy and will have a steaming bowl of stew and dumplings, please. You really can't beat it on a cold winter's day.
To follow, sticky toffee pudding and homemade custard. Super. |  |

That was meant for you, you daft sausage.
Or whatever substitute you people have for sausages.
Probably the innards of a squirrel or something. | |

I bet the secrets to your roast are as closely guarded as Mrs N's for her special chicken tea, keeping Joe Public in the dark about these delicious dishes... Selfish ain't the word, pal.  | |

I chuck in a large table spoon of chipotle paste into my lasagne. It just makes such a difference to the taste.
I have cooked many a roast for MrsN and got everything just right. The only thing we need is a bigger oven! | |

Just googled the "stottie" thingy. Can also be sweetened to be a cake. Versatile little fellow. | | | |

Lasagne has become a bit of a luxury thing for me since I learned how to make a decent one.
And I am obliged to admit this each time I mention it, but the base of it came from a conversation I had with Bully on here many years ago.
If you see this post Buls, kindly acknowledge that conversation with a vote or something.
A slightly long-winded but worthwhile process.
I don't credit his source with all of it, but certainly the meat prep has a strong say in the overall product. | |

Liver seems to be overlooked somewhat, but is a fine casserole ingredient, beautifully accompanied by smoked bacon. Bloody lovely. | |

Liver's good when cooked just on the rare side.
I struggle with it overcooked, but I suppose a slow cooker doesn't make it tough? | |

Cooked slowly in a casserole dish (covered) has the desired effect dear boy.
Like your good self, overdone i struggle with too. The dog, however loves it any which way. | |

A mate of mine at college used to live on baked beans topped with eggs and cheese done in the oven served with half a loaf of Mother's Pride to dip in. I used to think he was a barbarian but I tried it recently and I think he might have been a pioneer.

Oooh yes, pancakes. Whilst in the southern states of USA I loved pancakes topped with maple syrup, crunchy nut type things, & a kind of whipped cream that I don't think was from milk. The pancakes were the size of dinner plates, stacked 6 inches high - and that was just for brekkie! No wonder the USA has so many obese people. There was a UK restaurant chain in the 1960s that used to make pancakes like that, forgotten name of it, but meals there were a real treat.
Talking of brekkies - the full English - bacon, eggs, sausages, toms, beans, mushrooms, fried bread. Unbeatable! | |
