Simple Pleasures

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

In my teens and early twenties, I ate just about every meal my mother put in front of me in sandwiches of buttered brown bread, so I've tried everything listed here and loved them all. The butter was central to me. And then 10 years ago I discovered a wheat intolerance was largely responsible for a range of chronic health problems I'd been having since my late teens...lol!

Sausage rolls can get fucked. Puff pastry is fucking terrible stuff.

While I don't quite share your hatred of the above, I also don't get the fuss over sausage rolls. But above all, jambons. My job requires me to be out and about quite a bit, there's lads at work that will travel miles for a certain jambon from a certain filling station. They all taste the fucking same!!

A chip sandwich. White bread, salt and vingared chips and (optional) a dash of ketchup. Not a path to healthy living but as a very occasional treat it is hard to beat.

Almost anything in a sandwich is godlike.  My personal favourite is a pizza sandwich - two slices of hot pizza between white bread, bit of bbq sauce and some extra cheese if you're into that.  Fantastic.  Also up there are chicken fillet sandwiches with hash browns, black pudding, cheese, onion relish and taco sauce.  Fuck me i'm hungry

Give a lasagna sandwich a go.

Two bits of buttery toast with a big slab of lasagna in between.

Unreal.

I had a lasagne roll lately and it was brilliant. White roll, butter, lasagne, and grated cheese. You are dead right it is unreal.

Jaysus lads, learn to cook  All this talk has reminded me of one of my grandfathers favourites, cake sandwiches. Just to make the cake last longer.

Have had it and it is fuckin top notch.  Especially if it's yesterday's lasagne just heated up, bit of brown sauce on the top just to tone down the cheese against the bread.

Spaghetti bolognese sandwich, may I also recommend highly.

Another unreal one yeah, though eating a chilli with cheese toasties as spoons is a similar experience but utterly fantastic.

I dunno how I feel about cake sandwiches but I ate a few fig roll sandwiches when I was a young lad.

Also I love cooking and can put together a fuckin mean meal, but am also an insatiable savage who will try most sorts of combinations of filth in search of the ultimate derelict meal.  This has led to things like emptying and entire kebab chip onto a tandoori chicken and pepperoni pizza, and using the slices like shovels.  Also homemade chicken curry in a wrap with some potato waffles toasted and broken up mixed through it.

Back to some simple pleasures:

Being outside in the rain while also completely dry and warm, listening to it hop off a plastic roof or umbrella, watching it turn from drizzle to sheets and back again on a loop, at certain times of the day, comes with it's own brand of electric almost-nostalgia that is beyond comfort.  Listening to the cars tear past on the wet tarmac, sounding like shredding paper, the whole atmosphere feeling thick and a little greyer than it should be, in a city or town and if you're lucky with barely necessary streetlights on around you - I love this weather.

When you have a bad connection and this site still takes 2 seconds to load vs e.g. facebook taking 30 seconds. Keep it simple indeed. Good stuff.

Foreign gigs. The whole thing of going abroad just to see a band play is silly, really, but immensely enjoyable. Just bought a ticket to see Coroner in Switzerland this November. Conan are playing a couple of days beforehand and not too far away. I think a three-dayer is on the cards. Bliss.

Can't beat a bit of shcaldy weather alright.

Yeah defo.  Any kind of weekend abroad is always a joy.  The beer always tastes better on holiday too.

Went for a ramble up around Glendalough this morning.  Autumn and winter are my favourite times to hit the hills.  I haven't been out in a couple of years, though, and the yearning was too strong to ignore.  Can't beat it.

A dirty curry that was probably just a mouthful more than I should have comfortably eaten, feet up, perusing the auld tunes for a few albums to see out the evening.

Pure sound.

Big refund from the taxman, lovely
