#BadPicsOfFood had to nip out for milk and a few extras to see us through to the end of the week, whilst builders are in... there's 5 of them and consume a lot of tea. 😆

So whilst I was out at lunchtime... i grabbed some good old fish and chips for lunch.

That's 1 large portion of chips and 2 pieces of cod... and there's far too many chips.

A dollop of mayo and a dollop of ketchup on either side of the plate and some vinegar and sea salt on the chips.

#BadPicsOfFood I've not done one of these for ages... But it's Sunday and I fancied a brunch.

So here we have some hash browns, baked beans, scrambled eggs on half a toasted muffin, some streaky bacon that's not as crispy as I like and some caramelised onion sausages.

#BadPicsOfFood time again.

It's my mums birthday this week, and she wanted to take some treats to her pensioners club on Thursday.

So we have... a couple of sponges back in a tray. One cooked on the top shelf, the other in the middle... hence the huge difference in colour.

A nice thick slab of brownies, and about 30 small sausage rolls.

The sponge will be done with a ricotta and icing sugar cream cheese filling and either strawberry or apricot jam, and then sandwiched together.

Gotta have something for up to 30 people apparently. There's easily enough sponge and sausage rolls for a small slice of cake and one roll each... the brownies... needed twice as much but didn't have enough ingredients to do another batch. In hindsight, we made the brownies far too thick. Could have removed 1/3 of the mixture, and then we'd have had enough to make a up the extra for that 2nd batch... Oh well... next time I'll know and will make enough to do a larger tray bake like the sponge.

#BadPicsOfFood or... #FuckMeThatLooksTasty

Decided to go out for the afternoon, weather was nice and it's bank holiday. Plus my mum hasn't been out for a few days as her foot was hurting her.

Stopped at a place that sells locally made, luxury donuts... So much choice. I had a chocolate icing glazed, hazelnut creme filled one (2nd from lower right).

My mum chose a cherry bakewell filled one.

Must have been 30 varieties to choose from...

Very tasty, very rich... almost sickly if you tried to eat too much. Just one of them was a struggle and almost too much sugary goodness to handle.

After that popped to a retail park for a mooch around some shops for half an hour, then took her along to a marina for a stroll along the harbour.

Stopped for some fish and chips on the way home.

#BadPicsOfFood and it's a twofer... A cooked breakfast yesterday. With oak smoked thick dry cure bacon, lincolnshire sausages. Scrambled eggs and beans.

Whilst today is a shepherds pie.

#BadPicsOfFood time once more
Made some pork meatballs the other day, and had a load left over. So I cooked up a tomato, bacon and mascarpone sauce, chopped up the meatballs and threw them in, and cooked up a load of pasta... sprinkled some grated cheddar over the top because I had no mozzarella or parmesan.

#BadPicsOfFood today was a bit of a sunday roast.

Sliced roast chicken breast , filling a yorkshire pud, sxage and onion stuffing, cauliflower cheese with a sauce so thick you could carve it. Honey roast carrots and parsnips, marrowfat peas and of course. roast potatoes.

All smothered in gravy.

#BadPicsOfFood time... A bacon and brie sourdough baguette... with a decent splooge of HP sauce.
