Amazing flavour

[The Flying Scotsman]

I’ve taken over all the cooking since my wife had a heart attack a few weeks before Christmas.
So I’ve changed our diets to be more healthy.
All we eat now are fresh vegetables and meat and I cook them in the air fryer. I even bought another air fryer so I’ve got 4 baskets now.
I get venison from the gamekeeper on my fishing beat and he put me on to this place that sells rubs for meat and veg.
It has transformed my food.
The range of spices is amazing and they have some funny names.
I had dirty cow meatballs tonight and feather duster chicken last night
I’ve spent a fortune on them since and tried over a dozen of them and there’s not one that we don’t like.
Thought some of you guys might be interested in them. Well worth checking out. I’ve started to buy the big tubs of our most used after trying the small tubs. I’ve even gutted a cupboard for them. Still to put the other shelf in

We’ve never eaten so much veg.
Here’s a link to the rubs.

BBQ Rub, BBQ Seasoning, BBQ Rubs | Angus & Oink

Whether you rub it straight on your meats or make a paste by adding oil or liquid, Angus & Oink rubs and seasonings are made from fresh, quality spices, blended for full-on flavour and authenticity.

Thanks guys had a terrible Christmas my wife was in bed ill after getting a stent fitted. She’s only 48. I was ill with the rhino virus. Had it for weeks then got really ill Christmas Eve and ended up spending Christmas in hospital with a kidney stone.
Mental pain. Made me throw up every 30 mins for 2 days.
At one point I wished I was dead
The laser to remove the stone was broken so I got to pass the stone myself naturally
They gave me a bottle of morphine for it so I can imagine what’s to come.
Hopefully 2026 is a better year for my family. It’s been a really tough few years.
Still waiting on another operation on my elbow
Anyway. Definitely try the spices guys. Super tasty food.

Funnily my pal already said he’s getting me a pinny with a big pair of titts on it
My wife has to get another stent fitted this month and has barely been able to get out her bed until last week. It’s been tough going but she’s definitely a lot better now thanks.

You both being ill at the same time must have been tough. Wishing you the best and hoping you're both back on top form soon.

BTW, I suspect that pinny will have your and your mate's faces printed on it!

Sorry to hear about Mrs FS, Gordon - wishing her a speedy recovery. You being ill too must have been very difficult - my thoughts with you both

Thanks Steve.
Yes it was really tough. My sister and family came to the rescue and helped out big time.
I felt sorry for the kids on Christmas Day. They are 17 and 20 so they were fine but it was still a shit Christmas for them.
I’m back at the hospital on Friday for another ct scan to see where the stone is now. They might remove it if the laser is working but that’s under general anaesthetic and I know where they ram the laser in so not particularly looking forward to that

It was this or the Alan Parsons Project one from Austin Powers...

Good luck to you both
