Fried eggs on toast with a side of fried bread

Tony Edwards · 24 Mar 2022 at 14:20

In before. I think your toaster is broken.

robfosters · 24 Mar 2022 at 14:22

Undercooked eggs as well

{SAS}TB · 24 Mar 2022 at 14:27

Toast and eggs were spot on, thanks

robfosters · 24 Mar 2022 at 14:35

Those eggs are not spot on, unless you like yucky runny albumen all over your egg

Salad w/ pistachio pesto, mozz and grilled chicken breast.

Last nights dinner. Nduja meatballs, roasted red peppers in a smoky tomato sauce with pappardelle, topped with basil and Parmesan, served with red onion and fontal cheese pantofola.

I feel this didn't get enough respect.

My pasta dishes never seem to look this appetising and i always think i'd like to eat more pasta but always seem to go for basic

Sausages in a tomato sauce with penne
Spaghetti Bolognaise
Spaghetti Carbonara

I've also recently discovered Fettucine Alfredo but that's a lot of cream/cheese!

It's the garnish and parmesan topping which gives it that bit of extra colour. Add that to your basic pasta dish to instantly make it look a bit fancier.

Ha, i think it's probably the delicious looking bread on the side!

Helps it's on a plate too i think with big wide pasta.

Thanks for your compliments.

Pantofola is amazing. The dough is like a cross between ciabatta and pizza dough. Once topped and baked, it is quite close to pizza tbh, but the crust has a superb almost burnt crispiness feel to it. I probably enjoyed it more than the pasta tbh

Pie and mash night tonight. Double pie with plenty of liquor and chilli vinegar

You're not supposed to put Chernobyl's radiation waste into your food.

Thats the one thing I miss most about living down south. Can't get pie and mash here for lover nor death.

Went for a haircut this morning. Decided to go for a little day out in Glasgow afterwards. Of course I had to go to my usual haunt Scran. Got the poached eggs stornoway with added bacon. So damn good. The poached eggs are always perfect. Lovely runny yolk when you cut into them

I had originally planned to go to either Mezcal (Mexican) or Panang (Thai) for lunch. But I didn't factor in the fact its mothers day weekend beforehand. Mezcal had at least a 90 minute wait time for a table when I got there and Panang was booked solid! I ended up going to Bread Meats Bread instead. Didn't have much appetite, so I opted out of having fries or poutine or any other sides. I just got the BBQ pulled pork melt. Was very nice.
