^ Luckily I don't drink Chang!

I like both but prefer Nam Tok Moo because I eat it with Khao Niew and I use the Khao to pick up the meat. Just easier and less liver. Larb has more in general. They just grind it up as a filler.

Amen to that. My wife knows I hate Liver or any other entrails in my meals. I mean who wants to eat a blood filter with their meal..


OK, Meeting time.

Enjoy your lunches. I had Kanom jeen nam ngiaw for lunch.

Ranchero enchiladas at a mex place.

Breathe easy, Mendip. Makro has just restocked with both Watties Lite and Fiamma. No Brooks yet.

To be honest, this wasn't as good as it looks!

I made the schoolboy error of plating everything up before the microwave and the sausage roll was sizzling while the beans were still only lukewarm. And then I had to add the cheese to melt...

Where do you get your sausage rolls?

Just asking cos I know a guy...

Jesus wept…

^ Then Puked.

Looks delicious.

I went vegetarian yesterday with a baked potato, beans and cheese.

Probably cheaper to eat out with the amount of cheese I used...

Do you see a different picture then I do? Partially unmelted whatever cheese, soggy bread, some frozen deep fried mystery meat rolls.

Had a lovely homemade spaghetti from the condo freezer with jogging girl post exercise. For some reason I told her it's actually pronounced spa-gooo-ti in Italian. Then had her practice this correct pronunciation.


She now calls it spa-gooo-ti, and will probably do so the next time she's eating/ordering it with people.


Is it wrong to do this?

^^ English vintage Cheddar... the best cheese in the world!

And there's nothing fried on that plate...

Im seeing the same picture. Belongs in the blokes cookery thread. Having said that now that im currently doing 100% of the cooking for me and the kids while mrs bld is in hospital ive noticed my kids dont like veggies whatsovever. The youngest dude a little bit but the 15 year old no. So pototoes feature largely . A few days ago i googled and went at it. 30 minutes boiling drain rub in oil with salt n pepper wrap in foil 1.5 hours on the oven.turned out ok . Smothered them bad boys in butter and i had already fried a shitload of bacon to to go in there. They resisted the sour cream the little ungrateful fookers. But yeah. Something different to do with spuds if all they wanna eat is spuds

Wait just a minute there my dear friend Mendyamundo. Those pork fluffy meat things have a casing that lends itself to being deep fried. Clearly they are not fresh nor homemade. I am guessing deep fried, flash frozen, defrosted by The ocean captain, heated up in a microwave and served with canned beans and the cheese you call the best in the world.....Which of course is arguable......

Yes
Kids are picky and conservative "I'm very sceptical with trying out that new and potential very dangerous piece of nutrient" bastards.

Our girl do not eat potatoes (they'll be thrown up if I tell her to) but there is pasta, rice, bread and fries, so that's alright.

My sorrow is that they are sauce/gravy sceptics.(unless thai).

Which means that I, due to my lazyness, rarely get my favorites.


Veggies ?

Maybe I mentioned it before: My boy told me that he wasn't a Vegan

Fun and satisfying....and you can have a few beers while you compose and produce sausages worth a month's consumtion

^^^ Ha!

A sausage roll is baked, not fried... although the distinction as far as health is concerned is probably moot. The fried appearance came after I over-microwaved everything.

Mate, you have to appreciate that sometimes I post a lunch pic purely for the reaction... and you rarely fail to disappoint!

Of course the 'best cheese in the world' is purely subjective but I would put the case for a vintage English Cheddar cheese up against anything else... Dutch, French, Italian etc etc cheese just doesn't compare for me, but maybe I'm a bit a bit biased.

I much prefer a grated Cheddar on a spaghetti bolognase (Speg Bol?) to a Parmesan, but it's all down to taste.

Anyway, tonight is Shepherd's pie and I'll be interested in your opinion... my guess is UK posters will like it... US not so much.

And the outside is the last to cook in a microwave.

^^ Snubs is a big fan of English cheeses, especially cheddar.

Have a go at showing Mendy how to make a shepherds pie.
Maybe bet him, he's not much better than Chitty

I keep meaning to make a cheese and potato pie that I have find memories of as a kid. That's a nice easy one for ya.

Have you got an airfryer yet?
Don't tell anyone but all my kids food comes outta that...Gamechanger and will save you heaps of time in the kitchen.

When our mom was in hospital, pops used to make what he'd call Cowboy Dinners, which was just fukkin beans and sausage on toast every day

Well ya know I gotta be honest. The day you post up a meal that isn't runny slop whether it be for bfast, lunch or dinner will be a moment for TD chronicles.....



We all wait for the next meal......
