Ginger, chillies, more than double/triple on the spices and garam masala all went in, trust me.
I did also have 2 onions...

The celery wasn't a problem and added crunch which was actually quite nice.

I’m always surprised how much I like cooked celery.

It's pretty normal here and in Italy. Plenty of fish pizza's in the regions of Italy close to the sea. Anchovies are also used a lot.

For my lunch today I have random bits I had in the fridge at work!

I'm not feeling great, low energy, nut not sick. Just tired. I should probably eat something.

Sorry to hear that, get well soon

I made a homemade deep dish chicken pot pie. It's in the oven.

That’s coming up here soon.

I had fish n chips lunch after I took isla and her crew. Makkas.

McD’s and I are having a little separation at the moment. I’m angry they’ve changed their daily deals in their app.

Used to be, I could get free fries with any purchase of $2 or more - a regular cheeseburger is $2.19 where I live, I always bring my own water, so I could have lunch for a sweet $3, with some of that rounded up and donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

They’ve ended that and replaced it with free fries for…wait for it…$15 or more - I’m never going to spend $15 at McD’s - and all the other daily deals are crap. Best I can do is half-off a McChicken, which with fries brings my total to $4.¢¢, rounded up to $5, and I’m not doing that.

It’s the principle of the thing!

Until they see reason and return my usual daily deal, we’re on the outs.

Do they have a rewards program on their app like BK does? We don't do McDonald's, other than for breakfast very rarely, but do get lunch from BK once in a whole and 99% of time get at least fries free.

Yes, they do. You earn points for every purchase and those points add up to free food.

Went to the butchers and got some garlic and herb marinated lamb steaks for lunch, no pic but a lovely fast lunch.
Have a joint of beef slow cooking on high for a Max’s sandwich shop recipe of Bánh Mí baguettes later on.

Took a step forward towards the instruction to “burn the veg, I mean really burn the veg” but I’m sure I’m still way off what he means. It’s gonna be baby steps on that one for me because I just can’t imagine burnt garlic having anything to offer other than nasty acridness.

Hopefully the actual sandwich will get me closer to trusting it’s the right thing to do!
