@nzzp yeah bit of a variation on that theme I guess! Usually just throw in whatever I have. Tinned tomatoes, tinned beans (usually red kidney if I have), bacon/chorizo, red/brown onions, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme. I've never eaten anything like it for filling ya up all day eh!
It looks utterly appetising!! I don't know why you think it is a ropey photograph.
We're not chefs!!

@Hooroo hah cos it usually looks better! This time the eggs spread out t cover the whole top. Best one yet though...
We used to always get our eggs from the supermarket....now getting them from the farm shop and man didn't think there would be such a difference eh!

Where on earth did you find somebody to approve a mortgage so you could afford farm shop eggs?

Would it be ironic if it was Sainsbury's bank?
Hah I don't actually know how much they cost! I just go and fill a basket with whatever fruit and veg we need for the week and ask them for some eggs at the counter. Usually ends up about 30 squid.

We have a place close to us that have these and also the bestest marts and garlic.

Yeah it's brilliant - I'd been meaning to check it out for ages and had never been - went for the first time just before lockdown, when they were operating out of a shipping container with an awning out the front, which I assume is how they operate in winter.
Once all the lockdown stuff was announced they opened up their proper shop, so the sides of the shipping container open up to make it the counter and stalls are set up all round it with the fruit and veg. Up until easter weekend there was no queues and only a handful of people there at a time, plus it's outside. Bit busier now (had a chav and her son tailing me around the shop on Friday, so close to the point of bumping into me - honestly mate you're mid-30's, you don't need to go shopping with mum).
-
as we are semi-rural there are honesty box stands with Avacado, plums feijoas etc on the way home (when I normally work)
We have loads of eggs, 14 chooks, 'only' 5 eggs a day, mostly from the new chooks too, free range eggs are way betterer.

Heuvos rancheros?
Thank you. That is my breakfast sorted, haven't make them in months. Will even dig out the tortilla press.
Certainly beats sweeping out the bottom of the birdcage when the muesli is running low.

Are you happy with your press? We roll our tortilla with a chapati rolling pin. Haven't yet seen a good tortilla press in action - they all seem to make small, thick tortilla (well, the ones I've tried or seen in use). Would welcome the Fern view on this

@nzzp It's fast an easy rather than makes perfect tortillas. Do have proper tortilla pan, an old cast iron thing with no sides, weighs a ton, but really does the job.
hell yes, we have two old cast iron monsters that get used damn near every day and pressed into service for tortilla

One challenge I've had working from home is snacks. Not much of a snacker at work normally, but when I'm home I am frequently tempted by the biscuit tin/chip cupboard.
Took some time this weekend and knocked up a few little things that are slightly more healthy on the snack front: pesto, pickled roasted capsicums and slow roasted tomatoes. All very simple to make but go fantastically on their own or on a bit of bread.
Anyone have any other little things that can be good home snacks?

@antipodean Have you tried making bolognese with chicken livers?
Barbara Lynch's Tagliatelle Bolognese Recipe

Yesterday, Boston correspondent Liz Bomze wrote about chef Barbara Lynch's sauce Bolognese, which she serves at No. 9 Park and her other Boston restaurants. I stupidly wrote in the comments that you could email me and I'd send you the recipe when I should've just outright shared the recipe with all...
-
@Tim No I haven't. I'd have to sneak it past Mrs Antipodean.
-
@antipodean she will never notice other than when she tells you it tastes better than usual. Adds an earthy pungency.
I have a couple of quibbles with the ragu recipe you posted. Why not garlic - its an essential for me, plus I would remove the vegetables before browning the mince. (cook the livers separately until just pink, mash them and add them to the rest. Seriously yr missus will never know).
I would use real tomatoes and red wine rather than white but white is better if you are going to eat it straight away. He was also too light on the salt in both the ragu and the pasta.
He's spot on with the less is more and cook it for longer message though.
Hmm I have a barolo I have been meaning to try.....
-
@Tim yeah the ex used to do that, fucken yum eh.
I don't know if it makes me a bad person but I will put salami/pepperoni in my Bolognese if I find some decent stuff. Funnily enough that's on the menu today, then butternut squash and potato lasagne tomorrow with the leftover Ragu.

Anchovies will give great umami
