    I feel for you. Eating while travelling can be a pita, nearly always come back a few pounds lighter after working away from home.

    It's the contrary with me. I only eat junk fast food when traveling. Not only that but I get the urge to eat everything I lay my eyes on. Like whenever I'm at a train station, I have to get a sandwich from Upper Crust  wacko It's like a psychological phenomenon. I call it dietary schizophrenia.

    Yeah same here. KFC is a distant second -love those chicken wings!-. I never eat at McDonalds... well apart from bacon rolls and hash browns for breakfast.

    lol - I'm not a big fan of junk food, tbh. I get all the nutrients I need from liquid meals consumed at airports and hotel bars.  whistling2

    thats a 30% increase, bloody rip-off.

    btw how many servings of noodles do you get for 8p?

    One. They're bland though.

    Tonight, I made squid, chorizo and peas with tagliatelle:



    This is some chicken my friend made for dinner last week. She boiled chicken legs to make stock, seasoning it with soy sauce and sesame oil. We had it with stir fry veg, honey roasted pork belly and omelette:

    I kind of made it up, throwing a bunch of things together which goes something like this:
    Heat 1 tsbp of olive oil in a pan, throw in some chopped fresh parsely, 1 shallot (finely chopped), half a red chilli (finely chopped, to taste) and a knob of butter. Let this mixture sweat for about 4 minutes, taking care not to burn the butter. Chop up a handful of fresh squid rings and chorizo (small cube sizes) and add to the pan. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, season well with salt and pepper. Fry for 5 minutes, mixing often. Boil some tagliatelle, adding a handful of fresh garden peas (or frozen) in the last 3 minutes. Drain well, add to the pan with the sauce and toss well.

    I sometimes vary with spiral pasta + a cheese, ham and peas sauce.

    Got a rack of matured lamb and some matured pork belly roast to rustle up over the weekend, hopefully. Afro

    Oh and, I often use www.bbcgoodfood.com for inspiration. I've started to become more of an independant cook though; I absolutely hate food going to waste so often it's used up in simple yet yummy ways. I don't really have a fav. TV chef but i love watching Masterchef. Jamie's good for basics.

    Yes, I use that site too.  I am not keen on Jamie's stuff - its too English (parsley, parsley & parsley) & rustic for my liking.  Much prefer Nigella  Afro

    Does anyone know any good youtube channel that's great at showing how to make good food?  I like the one's that show the exact measurement and step by step directions.

    Have peirogi with blueberry jam inside, and dip it inside vanilla yogurt. Its great stuff. Smiley

    Don't feel bad CC about 90 percent of my meals are so simple as to not even really count as meals.  I usually eat almost all chicken, either boneless breast or the cheap bone included kind at the market.  Strip off the skin and microwave or bake for a few minutes, add bbq sauce or ranch and eat with vegetables.  I learn meals so when I get a wife she won't get tired of chicken every night for every meal Smiley.  Plus it helps on dates.  Romantic table dinner at the apartment+ cooking for her+ wine and candles = fun times.

    Stuffed baked potato

    So yummy and easy to make!

    Microwave it first for 10min to cook it (microwave takes a lot less time than baking in an oven). Whilst that is doing, fry some onions and garlic with lots of butter.

    When potatoes are done cut off a bit off the top, scoop out the insides of the potato, mash it up and mix it together with the fried stuff, then add some flavourings (in my case I added herbs, some vegetable oxo powder, and this other pinky red powder my mum has, think it was paprika but not sure).

    Put the potato mix back inside the skin. Then put it in the oven for 30min.

    It's a great recipe that is easy to experiment with Smiley
