Im off for the summer now and really struggling in that I've been in a complete state of inertia for nearly a week. What's also in the mix is a chronic fatigue-like health scenario. Sometimes the boundaries are blurred but if I were to put my finger on it, I'd say this is more AS related because I've been here time and again. I can't get going with anything for love nor money. I've got plenty of things to be doing but can't start and don't know how to. I need a project to get my teeth into (of which is covered on the "things to be doing") but in my head I know it won't get finished if I start. I'm resorting to engaging with an interest but I've reached peak saturation on that. I'm flim flamming around and haven't got the attention to stick to anything (which I don't know if this is CFS related but I've experienced this before although it seems to be worse now). I don't know if I'm in some sort of emotional burnout because I haven't experienced this stuckness for quite a while. What also adds is a sense that - I can't tell what my expectations of myself should be. When the fatigue is really thick, I know how to pace, but when I'm in this middle ground I don't know what to do but I see this more as autistic inertia. It's also the fact that I see others are able to structure their time off but I can't and I don't know if I'm putting pressure on myself to be a certain way. I've asked for help with one thing and with other things could do with a bit of "shadowing" to motivate me but the obvious person to ask is busy working more than me and has their own stuff to do.
Hey there! Learning Spanish is a journey, and I totally get the struggle with resetting accounts on Babbel. But don't worry, there are plenty of language apps out there!
I can spam my own thread thank you very much
Granted I'm a kosher-eating quasi-vegetarian, but that's the least appetising thing I have ever seen.
Me too.
I just laughed out loud at your new thread title
It's definitely Peter Kay
and I definitely don't use the word jus as a matter of course
Thank you deleted user for, what has been frankly, the highlight of my day.
Is 'hast tha' nowt' northern English?
I think you should rename this thread:
'The autistic inertia, spam and corned beef hash thread'.
Mine is carrot, onion, potato (and swede if you're being fancy) boiled in oxo and water with the corned beef chucked in at the end.
And to both of you - hast tha' nowt moist in your hash? You need a bit of "jus" for dipping the bread and butter!
Mine used to be the standard orrible mush (like most people do - mash potato with a tin of cb mixed in?) but then I grew up and became a man!
Nowadays, mine is more of a gourmet affair with everything cooked a few times in different stages in different ways. It looks like messy oven roasted cubes of potato basking in fresh herbs and quite tight and tasty bundles of CB throughout, all sweetened with virtually caramelised onions.....and yes, a little grated cheese added to the plate - then under the grill to char the top of everything.
One of my favorite comfort foods....but takes a LONG time to prepare.....the process of cooking it seems to bring out my inner auti.

What is your recipe?
Mine is fried corned beef, with diced potatoes and sliced onions ..
However:

https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/recipes/corned-beef-hash
It varies.
I'm really intrigued by everyone's corned beef hash recipes now.
I have NEVER fried or grilled my CBH and its one of the only few things which has never had an element of greenery about it (unless it's been given a pastry lid and served with peas).
I feel very much there's a north / south divide regards to this but that's probably my own CBH prejudice.
Cheese very much adds an extra dimension to anything but not this.
Number said:I feel that cheese added to almost anything is a good idea.
Absolutely (except CBH) .....
Number said:I'm not mental
This is my hash recipe - I'm not mental! Who the hell makes their own corned beef?
I feel that cheese added to almost anything is a good idea.
I have no objection to some green beans and/or peas and/or sweetcorn slung in for good measure. A bit of greenery lightens the meal substantially. When you have a meal of frying and grilling, it's important to keep it light.
A few points -
Is this home made corned beef or is this your hash recipe
No one in their right mind has cheese with corned beef (hashed or otherwise) and a guy at uni once put SWEETCORN in his
What is cbh cos when I googled it, the results came up "child bearing hips"
Edit: it is Corned Beef Hash
Corned beef is one of my specialities.....it takes me ages to cook (slow cooked onion and recycling oil / water is the key in my opinion - oh, and oodles of butter + sprinkling of cheese)
Your dish sounds lovely too......but it ain't my idea of carnivore-crafted cbh.
YES. however, I have concocted my own veggie version on occasion.
(Clue - use a tin of green or brown lentils without the water and mash them up a bit before adding to the pan. Once you have the brown sauce on top and beetroot/red cabbage you won't know any difference. Although a regular carnivore would).
