    I have totally lost my appetite for burgers :neutral:

    Good luck with your weights @nexangelus

    I had my first rowing practice at lunchtime in a 4 hand naomhog/currach, really enjoyed it, was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, just got to work on more integrating our rhythm to work as a team but really looking forward to getting into it.

    aww no! what about a homemade mince burger with finely chopped mushroom combined with the mince and a lump of stilton in the centre?
    or a sweet potato, garlic, broccoli and hallumi burger.
    (I have a burger book lol)

    in a 4 hand naomhog/currach

    say what?! lol - is that the type of boat?

    Yes it's a traditional Irish fishing boat from Kerry

    I make my own burgers now and again, I just don't get cravings for them any more, not really a bad thing lol

    Very true. For me the craving is more for the fries, I get the burgers as at least they have a bit more protein in and it stops me just having 3 large fries lol

    but even those cravings are getting less - which is great. :D

    eta: what is your fave burger when homemade? :)

    I have a lovely packed lunch for work today, but feel like I may be wandering to the deli, got a craving for one of their Chicken Doorstop sanwiches with coleslaw and jalapenos.
  • beerfoamy
    beerfoamy Posts: 1,520 Member
    remove the jalapenos from half and I'll join ya! haha That sounds very yummy - then your lunch can be your tea/breakfast tomorrow? less prep?
    I am getting coleslaw for tomorrow now! I keep forgetting foods that I love! not missing them until someone else brings them up though.

    Hahaha sorry. I'll probably save it for dinner, Sunday. I normally just have eggs for brunch on a weekend and then eat out on a Saturday afternoon/evening.

    Oooooh pizza.

    I am off to play music bingo in the pub this evening with some friends, then thinking of taking the work car off for a spin somewhere for a hike tomorrow or Sunday. I have a couple of mad busy weekends coming up so going to enjoy the peace.

    Music bingo?
    do they play songs and you have to guess the tune -then see if you have it on your bingo card? so recognising the songs faster can get you calling faster?

    nice plan! so much countryside near you am guessing - Ireland is gorgeous!

    Yeah that's the basic gist, you have similar grid to normal bingo with the song & artist on it and they play about 15 second clip of each song.

    Yeah there is stunning scenery in pretty much every direction from Cork.

    Yeah it's pretty much the same as the UK except with some slightly laid back views to driving, like forgetting that roundabouts tend to have other entrances, paying attention to traffic lights is optional and speed limits are guidelines.
