Today I had a Fray Bentos steak and ale pie shipped all the way from jolly ol' England. I'm an admitted Anglophile, so I waste a lot of money importing everything from Monster Munch to Branston Pickle. Anyway, give these pies a shot. They come in a huge flat tin which goes straight into the oven once you've removed the top. Imagine a rich beefy pot pie, albeit with a huge, light, flaky pastry crust instead of the dense shortbread style crust we're used to in America. Nice, cheap dinner. I served it up with some peas and taters. Canned meat pies: Just one more thing those hobbits do better than Americans. Years ago, I used to find English made tinned meat pies and they were good. Thanks for the reminder. I will have to put in an order, along with the Branston and some HP Sauce. Don't forget the Heinz Beans, different from what we get here. |

Got hooked on Pop Tarts via my local Dollar store. @ 6 for a buck, I am trying not to overdo it, but must have one with my morning coffee, then onto my first bowl of the day.

Dinner was Pork Sirloin Steak, Organic Baked Potato*, sliced Tomato and Cranberry Sauce on the side. * Potatoes were on sale @$2.00 a bag. It registered at normal price of $6.00. When I said something she exercised good customer relations and gave me the Potatoes for Free and handed me the erroneous amount of $6.00 in cash. Made my day.  |

I had a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup for dinner. Simple, but good. Looking forward to a good steak tomorrow night.

Tonight I made a ragu of diced flank steak and cippolini onion. Served this with rice made in the pressure cooker and roasted broccoli. ExChef I used to get flank steak for the price of burger, about two bucks a pound. I'd deliver a side of beef to a mom and pop butcher shop. They always ground up the flank, so I gave them burger price plus premium and bought it back. A little burgundy for the steak. I little burgundy for me. |

Tri Tip, cabbage, turnips, carrots, leeks, drowned in Guinness Stout in the slow cooker.
As much as I love a corned brisket, too much sodium for me, sadly.

Thanks guys. It hits me in waves. Can't be much food left in my system. I feel ok after throwing up, for about an hour, then it starts all over. Reading the Patch is keeping me entertained in between.

I was going to build one with my dad, but he died last year (1 year to the day on Wednesday). So with my limited building expertise (i.e. none) I bought this last year...  And this is what the pizza looks like (after 3 minutes)...  The oven heats the pizza from below rather than one side, so there's no turning required. And it doubles up as a chiminea too. |

Cheers - honestly the best pizza I've ever had, but I worked out that you need two pizza stones with a slight gap between the two otherwise the base will burn. Once I figured that out it produced amazing pizzas every time - even gluten free pizzas were passable.

That's a great looking pizza! I'm having a nutritious snack of brown sugar & cinnamon Pop-tarts ... toasted and lightly buttered on the back. Green tea with lemon and ginger to drink while prepping some Revor Plug to smoke in a minute. |
