What you're eating. What you're drinking. What you're watching?

After the Hibs game had my lamb Balti, done on the slow cooker, went out to the garden later, put the garden metal fire on, lovely. Drank a half bottle of Bowmore Legend Islay malt, my wife guzzled her gin and we watched the stars. Back up lying in my man cave bed reading the Bounce, overheated heid with the alcohol. Hibees ya bass. Ate a bag of marshmallows, stuffed melted ones between two chocolate digestives.
 
Made a chicken casserole for me and Mrs 1875, slurped a couple of Savannah ciders and just watched the Hibs game again on Sportscene.
 
Just ended a (Big G inspired) 13 day vegetarian experience. After a 3 day bender in York a few weeks back went on a he@lth kick to recover.

Plenty good salads, Quorn replacement meals and avoiding carbs as much as possible.

Today I had responsibly sourced Foie Gras but sliced it thin as fuk and ate it on a bed of Peruvian Puy lentils listening to Erasure so might even be able to claim it as Vegan friendly??

Day 16 off the peeve. Expect to see the year out.

All the best Sweeties x
 
Mrs S birthday so first day out in town since Sauzee knows when? Walked about Leith and town, superb lunch of green bean soup and a chourico pastry for lunch in Casa Amica on Leith Walk, beers in various locations then superb tapas in Cafe Andaluz on George IV Bridge. Calamari, mussels, MallorcaN salad, andalucian salad, deep fried prawns and lamb chops plus a few cervezas. Superb. Will be back next year!

Hope you sampled the pastel di nata in that cafe in Leith Walk, tremendous
 
Ribeye steak, seasoned with Worcester Sauce and Steak seasoning, a baked tattie with vegan coleslaw (Morrisons no Aldi and no where near as nice), a glass of Shiraz and Aberdeen Sporting on the radio.
 
Noodles, prawns, veg and some spicy sauce tonight, water , followed by banana loaf and peppermint tea.

Reading observer food monthly from weekend and the bounce

I had fish and chips in the County Hotel in Peebles today, washed down with a pint of soda and lime. It was nice. One wee comment, Greene King have bought Belhaven and the twice I have been in what was a Belhaven pub, they have now been Greene King Real ales, but no Belhaven ones, which is a shame.

I’d give my right hee haw for some quality fish n chips

Half way through my self imposed two month Newcastle University Diet. A massive thanks, still saluting Professors Roy Taylor and Mike Lean. 1.5 stones lost in weight, one of my drugs for type 2 diabetes eliminated completely and the bugger is now on the run. Hard going but will be worth it.

Watching A Play, a Pie and a Pint, BBC Scotland Celebrating Scotland's most-loved lunchtime theatre from the splendid Oran Nor, Glasgow.
Chic Murray: A Funny Place for a Window saw this before but a great, funny hour that flew in.

Cheers Roy, Mike and Chic.

You must have had a good few bags of chips at the long gone fish and chip shop that used to be on the left hand side walking from ER towards the Walk, at Albert Street/Elliot Steet Colin.
