Well, obviously you two can't live on bread alone

As I'm feeling nice and wanted to treat Phil I said you can have anything you want for tea and i would make it, you could see the mischievous look he gave me yet he chose either cottage pie or lasagne (not exactly hard) let's see what mercodona offers up.

Lancashire Hotpot for a new oven challenge? Crispy buttered potato topping a must!

The challenge wouldn't be in making the hotpot but in getting nice lamb to put in it, however I will look in the supermarket.

Rene is doing a nice cottage pie for our tea!

What a lovely bike ride although big hills but no issues as we have E-bikes.

Stopped on the seafront for a refresco before the shopping

For mere mortals like you or I, 100% agree…I may not even need to eat again that day… However, for these seasoned gastronomical leviathans it’s a small morsel, doesn’t even register as food on their ‘food consumed’ radar!

A few years ago on the London to Brighton I clocked 51mph down Coldean lane, Brighton. You wouldn't do now, that was before potholes.
Tend to chicken out now at 25mph.

Ok, change of plan, it's blowing a hooley, so definitely NOT bicycle weather.
We wandered into the local village and stopped at 2 places (the only two open). The second one is a wine bar. Harrrra, pig in sh#t.

May i say you can't go wrong with most of the wines (pictured below).

We all know you have a big van but you're gonna have trouble getting all that wine in, I would say.

There are a few of us here, it's very popular. Lovely site on edge of wetlands and 1 mile from beaches. Also a voie verte to Ayamonte, or La Redondela.
On Portuguese border.

Sometimes the simple stuff hits the spot after all the fancy flavours. Daughter and son-in-law are longing for one of my sunday roasts when we arrive in Panama next week.

Mr porky · 2025-01-29T16:53:44+0000

It was always phils choice and he said the lasagne last week was the best he's had ever, so can't go wrong.
Pictures later.

One of my favourites and I’m very jealous. I’m quite sure yours will be great. Nick’s not a fan of cheese so it’s something I rarely make now unless the family are home.

The wine was perfect, mercadona about €8.
Obviously the lasagne was amazing

Have you tried making it with cottage cheese? Not quite as cheesy as cheddar/parmesan.
