Kale cooked with fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and vinegar.

Valentines Day chocolates.

Hot Cross Buns. catholicindoctrinationmothergrumblegrumble

Eating candy

Black coffee and birthday cake.

Woot! Birthday cake for breakfast is even bettah than pizzza! Was it someone's birthday yesterday? One of the Grits clan perhaps?

Yep, we had two clan birthdays this week. The coffee pot has been hot for days!

? I hope you brought enough for everybody, Grits...!

adobo dry rub steak and homemade potato chips.

At least that's the plan for dinner. Gotta go and start chopping those taters!

Oh, and probably kale for salad. Need those greens!

Peppermint Schnapps + Hot Cocoa mix served with ice. Tastes like a peppermint patty. Delicious.

Vegetables and rice, woo! Yay plants!

Aaaand I may have had some coffee earlier. Perhaps one too many.



Kiln, I have never been a fan of cocoa but clearly I was missing the key ingredient!

A sausage sandwich and a cup of tea

Breakfast of champions

Then I guess I´m a champion too!

It's up there.

But a good Irish breakfast is the real Breakfast of Champions

Dorritos(Chili Heatwave, the only real flavour),RITZ DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE(CATS LIVING WITH DOGS!) and Tea.

In Ireland Tea goes with everything.

Lovely day for a GUINNESS.

Sandwiches and tea

Crepes with powdered sugar and lemon juice. We had an ice storm last night so we're stuck in the house, and The Girl is cooking.

Baked chicken with lemon pepper, salad, and macaroni. Delicious.

Yum!

Stir-fried Napa cabbage with ginger over brown rice.

and onions. I forgot to say onions.

Doesn't stir-fried imply onions? It might even imply the ginger too.

It's like Cajun recipes start with a roux, onions, bell peppers and celery and then decide what they're making. You don't even look in the fridge to see what other ingredients you have until you get that far.

Good point. Or the ‘Holy Trinity’ of carrots, onions, and celery. You could be making a roast or soup and you still start with those three in a pan.

Came home from work this afternoon with a horrendous craving for German Potato Salad.

Had some sirloin steak already thawing.

So one guess what we had for dinner?

A bagel.

Just a plain bagel.

A big salad, dressed with salsa and a nice dollop of five layer dip.

And iced tea with pretend sugar and a slice of lemon.

Crepes with powdered sugar and lemon juice. The Girl is cooking dinner.

Nutella in milk put in microwave = great hot chocolate.

Canned mini sausage

Isn´t Nutella a drink for people trying to lose weight?


Eating out of the can... very classy!

(Misquoting Python) If I took the can off, it wouldn't be crunchy!

@rocu

It's all there is 😂

Just had a fairly decent vegetarian vindaloo from our local Indian Takeaway.
Currently drinking homebrew beer whilst I go through my new PC install...

Nutella defiantly would help you lose weight

It's chocolate spread.

Lebanese food left over from last night.

A pepperoni and sausage calzone from my local pizzeria.

Our first local strawberries this season.

STRAWBERRIES?? IN EARLY MAY??

They haven't even come up yet around here!

Grits must live in Texas

I'm munching my way through half a baguette.

Just, you know, because

Grits lives in the southeast. It’s full-on strawberry season!

Tonight it’s fettuccine with beef ragu. And vanilla cake with strawberries.

Yummm!

We make our strawberries with balsamic vinegar and black pepper. The only way to have 'em, IMHO. Served over angel food cake - the ultimate dessert - spring, summer and fall!

Yum! With balsamic vinegar and black pepper (but no cake) is a strawberry staple in the Grits household. Also over still-warm cornbread with milk for breakfast.

Yesterday The Girl dipped some in chocolate. I had some in my spinach salad for today’s lunch. We take full advantage of the season!

When I was still living in England I grew strawberries in my back yard. They were all propagated from runners of one parent plant, so they all fruited at the same time. My strawberry season was about a week long, usually when I went away for a vacation.

A bagel, with nutella

Chicken, Garlic and Wine packet pasta cooked for an absurdly long time, washed down with a damned good cup 'o' PG...

green pepper and onion frittata

Fresh from the oven croissants that The Mother-In-Law had sent to us unbaked and frozen. From France. Ordered off the TV, most likely. She has the whole Pennsylvania Dutch thing going on and so has excellent taste in baked goods.

Normally the Grits freezer is reserved for ice and vodka, but henceforth I’ll keep a space free for a bag of these croissants!

Home made burritos with pan-fried flour tortillas.

Bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a Dr. Pepper. It’s not a health food kind of day.
