The **Now Eating** Thread

Made a simple casserole with beef and pork. Cooked over 3h in 170c fan oven. Its quite warming and nice for a simple dinner

Had a very bad weekend, so some tuna, franks hot sauce on low carb bread.

Frank's is amazing. I've heard the buffalo sauce is incredible but haven't spotted it in my local shop.

 

[Glaucus]

I buy it in bulk.

Don't bothered with buffalo sauce it's a waste of time, it's just added oil and thickeners. The more authentic way is to whisk butter into the hot sauce. Also means you can control calories. I generally only do 1 tablespoon to half a cup of sauce. Where traditionally it's pretty much 50/50

^ It was delicious but hard work by the end...and also ruined my appetite for dinner

I'd already prepared the pizza base so I just stuck some garlic chilli and butter on there. Pretty damn tasty.

Nice work

Dessert in last, always last. Wholefood first

Edit: Don't think my Aldi is graced with their specially selected ice creams.

Spoiler

macros pls

 

[FrenchTart]

Normally I would do that but I was absolutely starving after my trainer + beefcake session. I should've had some other kind of snack

I've binned the packaging sorry and it incorrectly scanned as Haagen Dazs. I'll sacrifice myself by getting some more on Saturday and get the macros for you.

 

[Glaucus]

Damn you and you wanting all those calories.
More buffalo wings, this time with mustard coleslaw.

Going to try perfect world "ice cream" on next shop. No added sugar

That looks quite interesting...and it'd give me an excuse to order some more nduja...hmm

I like the wheyhey (whey protein "ice cream") as well, totally different texture but really nice, but at £2.50 per small tub, no way am I buying it again, unless it ever comes on offer again.

 

[FrenchTart]

No whey you're buying it again, right?

Due to how horrible protein shakes taste I'd find it hard to make myself try anything like that I think.

Polished off my last dough ball.

Chicken and sweetcorn pizza. 5th time round I'm doing a lot better at making the base than my first attempt. Was very nice

 

[FrenchTart]

Awesome. It's really hard to describe some of the techniques and I think you just eventually start to 'get it' / get a feel for how you can manipulate the dough.

If you see it on offer, try it nothing like shakes, or at least not in my opinion.

Although, I have vanilla protein shake I don't use, couple scoops of that, frozen berries and water. Might make a good mix to over come a craving.

Yeah that video you sent me helped out. I seem to struggle to make it actually expand when I'm trying to press it out on the work surface. Looks like it just relaxes back into the size it was before every time. Had much more success doing something similar to what he did with holding it in the air with your fingers curled and just keep turning it around and it seems to stretch itself quite well.

Next step is to try stuffed crust obviously

Musclefood do it for £18 for three 500ml tubs, so not that much more than a normal tub from the supermarket.

Only trouble is I wouldn't be able to stop myself eating the entire tub in one.

Only trouble is I wouldn't be able to stop myself eating the entire tub on a big one.

Better than eating all three tubs at least

Just had a look at that ocado website. So many nordic products! I might need to buy some!
Ice cream is nice but I find them bit too sweet here same with everything sweet, I think it all has double the sugar Im used to. But then also I always think everything needs salt as Im used to salty food
