Actually no, don't ask me why but coriander is the seed, cilantro is the leaf (of the same plant)
Coriander adds a really nice flavour.

^ Actually no

Taking inspiration from Looper's recent cottage/thatched pie, went for one today.

First off, browning the beef mince.



Mince put aside in a bowl to be added later. Small amount of butter in the pan, and 'sweated' the vegetables for a few minutes. This one has carrot, onion, and leek.



Returned the mince to the pan, added a couple of heaped tablespoons of flour and mixed in.



Added peas, beef stock, red wine, and some tomato puree.



Simmered for about 30 minutes to reduce down, then into the oven dish.



Let cool down for about an hour before adding the mashed potato. Cooling the meat/veg helps stop the potato sinking when added. Not gone for a full 'thatch' of cheese this time, just some liberally sprinkled parmesan.



In the oven for 30 minutes and she's ready.

^Perfect!

After the Lord Mayor's show...

I made corned beef stew today. I'll post pictures after I stop bleeding.

Do not make jokes. I am still recovering from my hernia surgery. I am always worried that I blew a gasket.

Wing Wing Kings



Snubbys red hot in melted butter came out on top this time, mainly because the cornflour, cayenne and lemon peppered skin stuck to the foil

Oh well can't have it all.

Dull knives are a prep cook's worst enemy. The stew looks nice, but the gravy a bit thin.

^ Yeah I used that method off that same page. I think they need frying rather than oven baking next time

congrats Grandad. Just to be clear, using that egg poacher was a fail.

Poached eggs, avocado, brown bread and wild salmon.

You on another health kick diet,?

Kinda

Do they include a straw in the packaging?

For Corona?
No bud

That's good.

No need when it isn't even opened.

Sounds like the kinda weird Scandinavian orgy-fetish Mendy gets involved in.

Chicken Parmy, chips, slaw. Perfect.

Grilled ham and cheese on dark rye bread. We've found a bakery here that does incredible dark rye bread.




Damn tasty...the wife did a superb job.
