What are you.... EATING tonight/today?

Since coming to the cultural and takeaway desert of North Northumberland, our lack of Chinese Indian, Mexican, Italian takeaways has led us to explore the ready meal options from supermarkets etc.
The Home Bargain sweet and sour chicken balls in very close to the real thing and a bargain at £1,75 as is there curry range......
Kebab meat from Tesco.....
 
@Sackmycook you'll never get anywhere near proper wood fired pizza quality with anything frozen or from Dominos etc. Yes I agree that faffing for an hour to get everthing up to temp to make one pizza is pointless. We use ours for gatherings and having friends round etc.
However, I make 6 or 8 dough balls and then fire the oven up, par-bake them with tomato sauce only and put them in the fridge or freezer. I can then top them and put them in the kitchen oven like you would do with a supermarket frozen pizza, but the taste is miles better.
However i do still buy supermarket pizzas because sometimes you don't want the faff.
It's like saying i can't see the point of having a BBQ because I only want to eat one burger. If that's the case then you bang it in the air fryer.
A pizza oven is a really sociable way of having a few friends round. It really gets everyone together when we do them at the various T6 camps, Sarah was knocking out great pizza at Autumn camp and it gets everyone together rather than everyone eating individually at their vans.
Go on......buy one, you know you want to lolIMG_8142.webp
These were par-baked for this year’s Spring Camp. Cooked 24 bases in under 2 hours for about £4. Plus wood.
 
We can all crowd around the airfryer too !
My mate had one and now it's quietly rusting away next to his hot-tub which he, again, doesn't use anymore.
 
I've got to lose weight. The Doc has some stupid bollocks idea that being 20 stone is too heavy for someone of even my height (195cm), particularly as I've got a dicky liver (hence me not drinking alcohol.)

So following Mondays bottom spanking im now on a diet. Im not sure what I'll be eating tonight, but I know there wont be much of it :(

Have a go at making cabbage roll. Big block of mince 1/2 or a whole cabbage a large onion and four carrots. Brown the mince dice the onion carrots and cabbage chuck it all in together a cook it all for about 25 - 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. No carbs very filling and if you use a low fat mince not a lot if fat. And you can have a big old portion.
 
Yay! Another pizza night! Wifey has got it sussed now...

Ah we got my brother in law one of those recently for a Significant Birthday and it's amazing (can run on wood or gas) especially as they have the "big house" where we tend to do family meet ups.

Yes it's extravagant but it's great fun everyone making their own combinations and tastes amazing.

And now I don't need to own one, I just turn up with ingredients and a couple of bottles of wine and beer :thumbsup:
 
How many takeaways and frozen ones have you had since you last used it?
It’s become a Sunday tradition—we fire it up every week and make between 4 to 6 pizzas. It’s not just a family thing either. I’ve brought it to work for Macmillan coffee mornings and Friday treats for the team. I’d estimate I’ve made around 200 pizzas at work alone—about 40 each time.

So yes, I’d say the investment has more than paid off :cool:
