The Blokes' Cookery Thread

So this thread went quite so I better push it up. So the lady is out of town on business and I have to fend for myself. So for dinner tonight I had a chili dog. Can of my fav chili, a good quality hot link and a roll. A bit sloppy as the damn thing fell over when I ladled the chili over it...

A few hours later I set to work on tomorrows meal which will be a pot of ham and beans. Started off with the leftover Easter ham hock and scraps, added onion, carrots, celery, beans, pepper, a sprig of rosemary from the garden and then I will cover it all with water and it will be cooked in the crockpot/slow cooker on low for over twelve hours. Currently simmering away as it is 3am here and when I wake up for the morning piss it will smell lovely. :)

When I wake for the morning piss I will have a piss and a fart, grab a could drink of ice water from the fridge and stir it all up.

One hour in the cooker on high. Time to give it the first stir so that ham bone sinks to the bottom. :)

Now down to low to cook for the night and for me to drink the last beers I got left then. :)

Give it 12 hours. After I get up It will look even better. The thing is that this is the ultimate blokes food. So fucking easy and it literally took 15 minutes to prep. I texted the lady last night and said I was starving and had nothing to eat. She said take the Easter ham hock out of the freezer and reminded me that I have made ham and beans many times and to put on my big boy pants and get started.

It may look small lads but that is 6 quarts in that cooker.

:)

Do you get out of the house at all these days snub? :D

You've posted up some seriously good looking grub over the last couple of months.

Umm many of the posts have been out for example my recent Korean BBQ post. I do not post all the food I have outside of the house for many reasons. But encase you forgot...

Should I post more?

Good food there Snubs but Dill has lost the essential requirement for this thread, "Bloke", he's morphing into a metrosexual, soon his Mrs will be out all night and watching the Ashes whilst the new 78 Kg Dill sits at home with his Whey Shake worrying about whether the new Tea Towels he bought colour co-ord with the dog.

No, all I meant was that your home cooked options look great. ;)

On my first night in Thailand (1980?) I bought 'Never Mind' by Nirvana and I've wanted to go to Seattle ever since.

Probably not the best reason, but there it is...:D

'Never mind' as opposed to 'Nevermind'?

1980?

It's only the greatest album ever released.

(In 1991, by the way.)



Trying to type through the rage here.

Cyrille trying to signal seniority and failing at 16 YO, over on the "What are you listening to" ......

It is a shame we got robbed of all the greats from our era. Layne Staley, Cobain, Andrew Wood, and then Cornell. Just think of how they would have shaped the current modern music scene if they were all still alive. We got robbed. The boomers still have a bunch of their icons alive and playing still. We got robbed. Now there is shit rap and electronic garbage taking over.

We lost quite a few young ones too.

Brian, Jimi, Jim, Janis, John, etc..

Very true but there were a lot more back then. We only had so many. :)

Let's excuse Cyrille for an errant finger; 8 is just next to 9 after all. ;)

One of those people/albums that you can remember where you were when he/she died and what you were doing.

The other 2 were George Best (Khao San, for some reason) and Michael Jackson (my flat in Phnom Penh).

You're probably about the same age as me; Cobain was by far and away the most significant loss to music.

I'm no great fan of Amy Winehouse in the main, but I was listening to her a few weeks ago and she's deffo another one that has gone far too soon.

Bet she could have cooked a mega beans on toast too for this thread. ;)

Back to the Food ...

A quick 'Toad in the Hole'

Cut the hole in the bread

Fry one side and flip it

Whisk and egg with your poison. Mine was egg, tomato, onion, sliced ham and mature cheese. SnP to taste.

Do something with the cutout, I simply fried mine and wacked it on top and resisted the Chitty temptation to write TD on it :)

Unless I'm losing my marbles, that could be the least toad in the hole toad in the hole I've ever seen!

Where are the sausages and Yorkshire pudding?

No sausage, no Yorkshire pudding, no gravy and no onions.

And a hole in the middle of the meal.

I think David had a heavy night last night. ;)

To all the nay-sayers.

'Toad in the Hole' covers a broad gambit of offerings.

Davids offering is egg in the basket.

This.

From what I can see, yours is just a really bad egg sandwich, Dave.

What on earth were you thinking? You've already lost bloke points by taking half of the bread out, for God's sake.

The only surprise is you didn't put a cocktail umbrella in it. ;)

Bread is there. It was fried off then capped the, as Niddy describes it, the 'egg in the basket' ...

https://teakdoor.com/attachments/food...09-medium-.jpg

Just a reality check ... this is the Blokes Cookery thread.

Simple, tasty, easy to make and fills the hole.

The above ticks all 4 :)


The Hi-So cooking thread is three doors down, knock twice and admit by secret handshake.

True dat.

At least my mate Dave posted blokes food in the blokes cookery thread. There has been far too much good cooking being posted in this thread. Cut it out lads. This is Blokes Cooking. Dave's only crime is to misname his creation, but he was on topic here.

Now, where's my Otto.

A Saturday morning classic.

I'll pack my lunch, fresh undies a toothbrush (apparently there is enough soap already to bend for) and report to the DH post haste.

Boys (and TB) ... go gentle on me :)

Where's the fried egg?

So to continue my ham and beans saga :) .....

I picked these out of the garden today..

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/.../rtc3lPS-1.jpg

So had to start with a salad...

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/.../TWjc1Uu-1.jpg

Headed over to the crockpot and gave it one final stir. Had been on low for the last 13 hours...

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/.../ODMIC47-1.jpg

Time to eat...

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/.../i4T3xT9-1.jpg

Very good.

Perfect with a big chunk of crusty bread. :yup:

^^ Yep, a winner

Indeed with a slice off the rye loaf. :) Been unusually wet and chilly of late so the timing was perfect.

It looks great but I couldn't wait 13 hours to satisfy my hunger pains. I'd want it right away!
