Longest shift ever but take heart that retirement is 5 years away and a move to Spain to legally grow licensed crops because you haven’t had time to eat or buy owt all night and have picked up and destroyed a pack of Gold bars from the garage - the murder scene withIn seconds of getting home



a method combining fasting intermittently, binging highly processed baked gloop and a rain hat

 

[Mr. Tea]

Grilled lamb skewers, marinated in red wine, olive oil, lemon, garlic and oregano. They were seriously fucking good.

Rank dry hospital dinner consisting of about 190 calories supplemented by the wife bringing in a bucket of her family’s chicken soup recipe = bangs hard. Pulled the curtain rail round, tucked in and got a hug too

Essentially all the below but no butter beans as butter beans = gross. Instead you’re left with a stunning almost clear copper hued bowl of magic

Ingredients​

• 1 whole chicken, jointed
• 2 onions, peeled and left whole
• 5 carrots, roughly chopped
• 2 sweet potatoes, roughly chopped
• 4 celery stalks, trimmed, roughly chopped
• 1 leek, trimmed, roughly chopped
• ½ swede, roughly chopped
• 3 chicken stock cubes
• 1 beef stock cube
• 1 bay leaf
• 300g/10½oz vermicelli
• 1 x 230g tin butter beans
• salt and white pepper

Method​

1. Place the chicken pieces, all of the chopped vegetables, the stock cubes and the bay leaf into a large, heavy-based saucepan. Fill the pan with water and bring to the boil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering gently. Partly cover with a lid and simmer for 3½ hours, stirring occasionally and skimming the fat from the surface of the liquid once every hour using a slotted spoon.
3. Strain the soup and discard everything but the strained liquid. Cover, set aside until cool, then chill in the fridge overnight.
4. The following day, the soup will have turned to jelly. Warm the soup to melt the jelly and skim the fat from the surface once more.
5. Meanwhile, cook the vermicelli in a pan of salted, boiling water according to the packet instructions. Drain well.
6. Cook the butterbeans in a separate pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
7. To serve, divide the noodles and butterbeans equally among 6-8 serving bowls. Ladle over the warm chicken broth.
