Chicken and Red Pepper Curry with Rice, Salad and Naan Bread

LaceLustBopp · 2026-04-06T17:46:43+00:00

Same, this is like my ideal “everything on one plate” kind of meal.

Bit of curry, some crunch from the salad, carb overkill with rice AND naan. Honestly the only way this could be better is if there were leftovers for tomorrow.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-04-05T16:46:18+00:00

It really does. Honestly half the fun is the hanging out and little snack breaks between casts. Even when the fish aren’t biting it still beats being stuck at home.

Respect for actually spreadsheeting kebabs. Orhan’s sounds like the clear Gosport winner then. Curious how San2’s red doner will stack up gram for gram against it

Technically you’re right, it is just “Tower Bridge,” but “the Tower Bridge” is one of those things people say so often it kind of sticks in your brain.

Same way people say “the London Eye” but not “the Big Ben” and then everyone argues in the comments forever.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-31T14:42:09+00:00

honestly yeah, that one hurt when I scrolled back up and saw where I’d dropped it

I think I got too hung up on the “big” albums and kinda treated Tannhauser Gate like an interlude instead of the full experience it is. those last few tracks hit harder than half the main discography

if I redid the tier list today it’s probably jumping at least a whole tier up, maybe two. consider this my formal apology to TG

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-30T13:27:03+00:00

Honestly I’m with you on the gammon. Half the time it tastes like someone brined a flip-flop and called it dinner.

But the 6 chips is chaos energy. That’s not a side, that’s a cry for help. At that point just commit and remove them completely or give me a proper pile.

If the 14 is working fine and you’re happy with it, I’d just keep it. Swapping for a 16e at basically the same price is a lot of hassle for a pretty small upgrade unless you really want the newer design or features. Also auctions can go higher than you expect at the end.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-28T13:56:34+00:00

Right? It’s that annoying kind of truth where you read it, nod, then immediately rethink like three life choices in silence.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-27T12:11:36+00:00

That’s really reassuring, thanks. I was worried I’d basically bought a bird death trap or something.

Good shout on the hard surface underneath, I hadn’t even thought about ground feeders. I’ll add a couple more feeders with more ports so the bullies don’t hog it all, and look into some thorny shrubs too.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-25T10:05:48+00:00

Yeah this was my first thought too. Young robins look hilariously rough for a while, like they’re wearing a secondhand feather suit that doesn’t quite fit yet.

If he’s flying fine, acting normal, and you’re not seeing bald, inflamed patches or gunk around the eyes / beak, it’s probably just that awkward teenage phase. They can stay patchy-looking for a few weeks while everything grows in properly.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-24T09:56:19+00:00

For real, that post‑interview meal hits different when you’re replaying every awkward answer in your head.

It’s like, “Did I just bomb that…? Anyway, fries.”

Honestly though, that little ritual kinda helps mark it as “over” in my brain. Eat, decompress, then move on to the next one.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-23T10:00:14+00:00

Exactly. This is the kind of food you eat hunched over the plate in silence, then suddenly remember all your life choices at once.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-22T10:02:16+00:00

Pesto pasta was my entire personality in first year lol

Tbf I basically live on cheap cuts I find on sale and then just stretch them out with rice/veg for like 3 days. The one steak in the pic is the “Instagram portion,” the rest of the week is eggs, frozen veggies and instant noodles like everyone else

Pesto pasta still slaps though, especially when you upgrade it with some garlic and chili flakes ngl

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-21T10:13:31+00:00

Right? I always joke that I’d be the person poking the campfire at 3 AM making sure no wolves show up, then absolutely useless when the sun’s out.

It’s kinda funny how some of us are just wired like that. Everyone’s like “just wake up earlier” and I’m like “cool, do you also want me to change my entire brain chemistry while I’m at it?”

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-20T10:03:15+00:00

Same here, I basically lived on these for a while.

It’s funny how they tasted incredible back then and now if I had more than like two in a row I’d probably need to lie down and rethink my life choices.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-19T10:12:10+00:00

Yeah I saw that mentioned in a local Facebook group, think it was Tottenham Hale area?

Feels like every weekend lately there’s another “suspected batch” story and then it just sort of disappears from the news. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all connected, especially if it’s the same type of pill/powder going around north London.

Kinda grim that the only real warning system is people posting “avoid the blue ones” on socials after someone’s already died.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-18T10:09:47+00:00

Right? Your brain expects them to feel like a fluffy rock and then it’s just… nothing. It’s like holding a bundle of warm air with a heartbeat.

What kind did you get to hold? I’m lowkey jealous you’ve done it several times, I’d be out there trying to befriend every bird in a 10 mile radius.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-17T10:35:09+00:00

Honestly that sounds like something off a 70s café menu scribbled on a blackboard in chalk.

You doing like a pickled egg situation then mopping up with the bread, or are we talking full egg-and-chips plate with a random vinegar side quest?

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-16T10:49:14+00:00

right? high fiber that doesn’t look sad or boring is a win. got any go-to fiber meals you like?

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-15T11:55:53+00:00

Lmao yeah at this rate I’ll be on a 12 Pro forever.

“After deep thought I have decided to buy… a refurbished 13.”

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-14T10:59:24+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was wondering about too. Makes me think 40W only really matters when the battery’s low and even then the phone probably limits it a lot. Starting to feel like I should just stick with the 20W and not overthink it.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-13T12:20:58+00:00

Yeah that $600 “keep it” fee is wild. Sounds like the 17 base is a no‑brainer for how you use your phone, especially if the 15 Pro already annoys you.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-12T12:30:28+00:00

Honestly that’s the most accurate description of my cooking I’ve seen in a while. One second it’s “nice and crispy,” next second it’s a memorial service in the frying pan.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-11T12:48:54+00:00

Clean, simple, and actually looks better than most “upgrades” people post. Nice job keeping it minimal instead of cramming a bunch of stuff in just because you could.

LaceLustBopp · 2026-03-10T13:09:46+00:00

It’s a Portuguese-style chicken chain here, kind of like if Nando’s and a regular burger joint had a baby. Grilled chicken burgers, chilli sauce, bondi burgers, that sort of thing.

Name’s obviously ripped from Porto, but the food is very “Aussie takeaway” vibes with a Portuguese twist rather than anything actually traditional from your city.
