Wow! Love your recipe! I also love cooking at home and learn from my mom since i was a kid. Another recipe to do! Thanks for sharing.

It is quite easy to make and the taste is GORGEOUS! Perfectly tender chicken, delicious sauce, yummy veggies… I fried potatoes and carrots separately before adding them to the dish. For this reason they didn’t absorb the sauce and have a different texture which brings a bit of a different flavor for this meal. Total deliciousness!
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken drumsticks, skin on
3-4 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 carrot, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 (14 oz.) can tomato puree
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks, drained (reserve syrup)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 dried bay leaves
½ cup green peas
salt and pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
Instructions
In a big pan over medium heat, heat 4 tablespoons of oil. Add potatoes and cook for about 1 minute. Then add carrot and cook for about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Remove all vegetables from pan and drain on paper towels.Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add chicken and brown it slightly. Add the tomato puree, pineapple syrup, soy sauce, and bay leaves.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is almost tender. Stir occasionally.
Add potatoes, yellow bell pepper, carrots, and pineapple chunks and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked. Add the green peas, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Serve hot. Enjoy!

Anything to do with my finger nails has always been a struggle. as much as i like having my nails looking good all the time i am more comfortable with my natural nails. i would rather take the time an try to grow them other than put acrylics or gel nails i feel very uncomfortable.
-
I think I get what you mean about that “sensation” after applying nail polish. Sometimes it feels weird but I guess over time, I outgrew it and just got used to it. I used to have mine au naturale as well but I was trying to find something different to do that’s why I resorted to this 🙂

They are so good.
-
Yeah they are! And it is so hard to stop munching on these after opening a packet. If not for the calories or the sugar, I’d more likely finish a bag in an hour or so, LOL!

Used to think that only graham crackers could be used as the crust for cheesecake. Then I realized that you could grind up any cookie and use it for crust. This cookie would make a great crust for a cheesecake.
-
That’s a great tip – thanks for sharing! Haven’t tried using cookies apart from gingerbread to use as cheesecake crust. But now that you mention it, I think it is worth a try. 🙂 I agree with you it seems like a nice idea and would make the cheesecake a lot tastier, too.

One would never think that cookies with the same ingredients would taste different with different brands. What do you feel that has made this brand taste different and better?
-
Oh, this is a different type of cookie. The one I buy for cheaper price is the typical chocolate chip cookie and this one is pistachio and almond. I mean, Tesco’s have decent tasting products but they don’t offer a “budget range” for these types of cookies probably because the ingredients costs more so they can’t offer it for “less”.
-
-
Ooohh goodness those cookies look so good i also love snacking most of the time i always find myself snacking instead of cooking food and eating like am supposed to. I always knew of pistachio ice cream i have never tasted cookies, but am sure they are tasty
-
Oh yeah, pistachio ice cream is superb! Although I am a bit biased about gelato. But yeah, these are really nice to munch on and gosh, so difficult not to eat a lot of it! I try to avoid it when looking for snacks in the afternoon so I just make myself a peanut butter toast (boring).

I’m not familiar with this brand. But I’m happy with the brands sold in our local grocery stores. I love noodles. So quick, easy and tasty!
Tesco is mostly available in the UK/Ireland, if I’m not mistaken. Although I heard that they are starting to expand recently so there are some Asian countries where they decided to do a partnership with so they can sell their brands there.
It is possible they may be available at specialty markets here in the USA, like stores that specialize in Asian foods. Our grocers sometimes ask for suggestions. Maybe I could mention this product and they may begin to stock it. What do you think? Sound like a plan? Noodle Lovers Around the World Unite! 🙂
Sounds like a plan! 🙂 Although they might prefer the authentic Asian noodles from Asian distributors, too? As I mentioned, Tesco is a British grocery food chain so they just create own brand products for their cheap alternative range. And surprisingly, the demand for Asian goodies is increasing over here, too.
The demand for noodles must also be increasing in the USA because we now even have noodle restaurants cropping up in our neighborhood. 🙂 One of my favorite things about Asian movies is watching them eat those bowls of noodles. Every time I see a scene, I’m thinking: ‘YUM! Wish I was there!’ 🙂
When I first discovered noodles, at first I was skeptical about eating them because I never used to like eating spaghetti, and they looked just like spaghetti. So as time went by I tried them once and I loved the taste. and that is when I got hooked and it became my daily lunch time food when I was at work, given that it was the easiest food to prepare. But I stopped eating a lot of it when I discovered that it could be harmful to the body if taken in large amounts. Its good to have them in the house just in case of emergencies or when you don’t want to cook they can be very ideal.
Oh, definitely! I remember back when I was in College, I had a few classmates staying in boarding houses and lived on instant noodles because it is cheap and they don’t know how to cook! Not the healthiest way to live but I guess some really go through times like this. I also keep a few packets of instant noodles at home since I go through “lazy days” as well no matter how quick it is to prepare the meals.
Tesco’s new boss Dave Lewis is pulling up to a third of products off its shelves as it calls time on policy that left shoppers baffled by a choice of up to 90,000 products on their weekly shop.
The struggling supermarket, which has lost market share to low-cost, low-choice retailers such as Lidl and Aldi, has called in outside consultants to cut back up to 30% of its products in an attempt to cut costs and make the weekly shop simpler.
Tesco stocks up to 90,000 different products – in industry jargon, stock-keeping units or SKUs. For each big brand, every pack size and flavour is a different SKU. In air fresheners alone Tesco offers 228 different options ranging from basic own-label sprays to posher varieties that come complete with propellers or disguised as stones.
With tomato ketchup, Tesco offers a bewildering array of 28 sauces while in Aldi there is just one ketchup in one size.
