Home made Moroccan style burger and chips for tea tonight. Lots of fresh coriander, mint and dill in those burger patties 😋

I’ve made some urid dal for lunch today. Mrs R isn’t a fan of coriander or chilli, so I have to adapt it at the table 😀

Absolute sickener for husbands everywhere. Sorry guys. Mrs R has on her bucket list seeing Andrea Bocelli live. I’ve just booked flights, hotel and tickets for his concert in his hometown at the Teatro del Silenzio (Theatre of silence) in July. I am so in the good books 😀

For absolute fuck sake @Apple sort this out. I’m just trying to put an icon into a folder and it keeps moving around 🤬🙄🤣

Siegfried was happy to see us this morning. Or was it the apple we took him 🤔🤣

Practicing my Spanish cookery at the moment. This is a sort of made up as I went along quick paella, with chicken, chorizo, butternut and broad beans. Flop to pop in 20 minutes 😀😋

If Christ’s second coming happened in America under Trump’s administration he’d be detained for having no paperwork, looking like a Muslim and he’d be accused of being a member of MS 13. He’d be in El Salvador before he could say “you haven’t eaten my Easter egg have you?”.

I have to say that was a gorgeous Easter Sunday lunch. I made the gravy with the lamb juices, fresh mint, rosemary and garlic roasted round the lamb. The wine was a bit extravagant at €20 but Jesus would approve, probably. At 15.5% it was what you might call “full bodied” 😋

Ah…. I was just going to buy this product and then I read in a review that it’s made in the USA. So, I’ve gone for an alternative that was made in China. No way I’m buying anything from America until Trump has gone 🤷

Is this why they all have a child shield close to them when they’re out in public 🤔 (Stephen King’s - The Dead Zone. Ironically made in 1984).

This is an incredibly niche tweet but I’m having it. I’ve been trying to beat this game for about 5 years and tonight I’ve actually done it 🥳

This evening we have been transported away from a damp Donegal, to the beautiful Spanish city of Seville, probably, for a Spanish inspired dish with chorizo, olives, peppers, chicken and an array of chopped fresh herbs.

Wow! brilliant! Made in 2019 but predicts all sorts of things that have now happened including conflict in Ukraine and a Trump second term! The terrifying thing is what it predicts Trump does just before the end of his second term ☢️💣💥🍄‍🟫😱 Absolutely brilliant mini series

Just got some yellow label (40% discount) 3% fat beef mince from Lidl for €2.51, so I’ve turned it into a couple of burgers and a couple of Lebanese style kebabs. Fresh dill, coriander mint, ginger, garlic, red onion, harissa and some Lebanese spice. Straight in the freezer 👍

The moon is spectacular tonight. Just took this out back in Donegal 😮

Around 500 BC Sun Tzu the Chinese strategic genius wrote “The Art of War” a bible for Chinese strategy for 2500 years. In 1987 Trump took credit for writing the strategy book “The Art of The Deal”. Anyone surprised China has just pulled Trumps pants down on the world stage?

Food of the Gods for tea on a damp Donegal evening 😋

Bloody hell. That was bigger than I thought! 😬😳 (Please no “that’s what she said” jokes 🤣).

Well that’s about it then for our Irish summer 😎 We’ve had a solid week of sunshine and it ends tomorrow ☹️ We’re taking this last opportunity to have a mini picnic in this lovely little spot near Annagry.

I know some people on here think I’m a curry monster 🤷 But on a gorgeous sunny day like today it’s really nice to just get out for a picnic 😎

Definitely a salad day in Donegal today 😎 That’s Keadue lower bay beach on the Wild Atlantic Way. Much busier than it usually is today because the sun’s out 😉

This is my interpretation of a baked potato and beans. I don’t do normal. There are nine ingredients in here and you get a point for each. I’ll start you off with ground black pepper and grated red onion. The other seven?

I’m torn 🤔 It’s chicken curry for tea. There’s a surprise whole Mrs R is away in England.🤣 But, I’m not sure what chutney I need to put out for it. What would you choose? “All” is the obvious choice but possibly you’re more discerning 🤔

I’m really worried about Trump’s tariffs. Can you see how worried I am?

Right, that’s the (chicken and aubergine) curry base made for tonight. Ginger, garlic, onion, curry leaves and a shit load of chillies. I’ll think about the spices later but I’ve definitely got a “methi” head on. Probably a ton of dried fenugreek leaves involved 🤔
