What the f uck are you having for Dinner thread..

Did you go watch that sh ite last night?? I've applied for tickets for the Everton game.. Sent the press office at OT a sob story after my debacle at the west ham game with it being my birthday.. Got my response back yesterday telling me traffic on the M6 isn't under thei control..

 

That's because someone sawed them off when you weren't looking

 

Yeah I went. Missed the first 10 minutes though because of the M62 on the way there aswell

Wasn't the best game of football

 

Bit of advice lads, the M6, M62 and M60 are all nightmares.

Set off earlier.

 

If I do a mid week game again I will just take the day off I think. It's a nightmare getting stuck in the traffic.. The m62 was like a carpark so I did the alternative route through altrincham and sale.. Took two hours.. Then to watch absolute sh it

 

I wasn't planning on going last night due to already being through and expecting us to be **** but thought I may aswell go, sort of a last minute thing. Still left Donny at half 3 though. Got to love the M62.

 

A1/M followed by A635 & A628?

 

I thought we'd have been ok at that time or I would have gone over the woodhead pass.

Probably should have gone that way anyway considering the 50 zone which seems to have been in place since the begining of time.

 

Be thankful you weren't on the M6, a loathsome motorway which just grinds you down. Going north, Stafford to the M62 stretch, you are guaranteed to have some form of delay.

It's the law.

 

I'm the law

 

I didn't get above 40 for the whole of that stretch.. I thought in traffic 2 and a half hours tops as when I've been up on Saturdays an Sundays I do it in 1 hour 20. No four ****ing hours it took..


Back on topic.. I won't be having dinner tonight as I'm back in the saddle for circuit training tonight.

 

You won't need TEA tonight after that breakfast anyway will you ?

Good effort that like

 

Will be making the xmas dinner gravy this weekend and freezing the stuff ready for the day.

 

looking forward to this chilli tonight, tasted it at lunchtime, beautiful. Biggest distinction I can make is the paprika and the cinnamon, took the stick out though as didn't want it too strong.

 

and luv, how come you're making the gravy this early?

 

Smoked paprika I take it?

 

that's the one, never used it in chilli before.

 

Top tip for xmas mate, make it now and freeze it, just need to stick it in a saucepan on xmas day, got enough to do with that meal.

It's my own version of this.

Makes a big difference.

 

Yeah, good point I should have made.

If you leave it overnight take it out before reheating. The smoked paprika is just lovely though, gives it a real depth of flavour.

Just had the remains of mine for dinner, it was a good one. Not sure how I can improve it now. Id like it hotter myself but I tone it down so she can eat it too.

She does this thing called 'spicy prawns', we're having it tonight, and there are literally no spices in it! **** knows where she got the name from.

I dropped a couple of dried bird eyes in it once and she went tonto.
