Salmon Sashimi with Ginger and Hot Sesame Oil Recipe - Tim Cushman | Food & Wine

Gave this a wee whack.




Served with cold egg noodles and a pair o' chopsticks. A few adjustments needed, but not a bad change.

Racist. What's the matter with Asian chopsticks? What makes the Irish ones so much better?

Though I did need to check which nik I was posting under before making the denial.

Another lunch of prawns, baked with lashings of butter and a few vegetables.

I can't abide those skinny white rice noodles... glass noodles is it they call them?

But I do like the yellow egg noodles.

The gardener picked these up for me today which meant I had to struggle with adding the correct amounts of chili flakes, sugar and vinegar myself, which I always struggle with.

The wife has gone to yet another funeral. I've been to around five funerals my entire life but the wife easily does that every couple of months. I'm starting to suspect she may be one of those professional mourners although she certainly doesn't spread any income my way. Either that or people just seem to die soon after meeting her.

Someone forgot Valentine day last Sunday by the sounds of things

Or just a case of misery loves company

Rack of lamb, if I could only eat one meat dish more before going vegan it'd be this (then I'd shoot myself). Saw a hack of using Himalayan pink salt on the skin and it worked quite well, lamb fat crackling Served with 2 favourite veg, mashed pumpkin and garlic + spinach-cheese.

Its brutal in pattaya i see.

That lamb rested beautifully. Damn that looks so good.

^^^ Seven chops and you had five of 'em!

Doesn't seem fair.

5/8, no?

^ Very well spotted Cyrille.

In the second pic down there's a chop at the right with the bone out of view which I missed. And now I see the top pic is two racks of eight.

Too much Ya Dong maybe?

But 5/8 still ain't half?

^There was no rationing going on, I took enough to fill the plate and Mrs Worx got a few too

Plenty leftover in the fridge, 25 seconds in the microwave and they're perfect.

So Mrs Worx likes the lamb?

I'd always thought that one of the (many) great things about Thai women was that they rarely like lamb, so a leftover roast or a few chops left in the fridge was always safe. This seems to be changing and many seem to enjoy it now.

Mrs Mendip is a naturalised Aussie and her many years in Perth gave her a great taste for lamb roasts, lamb chops and even lamb kebabs... and she's passed this on to our daughter.

Nothing is safe in this house.

Asks me to cook some regularly and really enjoys it, especially lamb racks that are so tender and juicy. The bonus is the poor dogs she feeds while cutting though an abandoned condo development on the way to her favourite local markets get a feed of lamb bones out of it, which is their favourite thing to eat apparently.

I broke off working in the garden for some chicken satay today, although to be honest 'chicken biltong' would have been a better description... it was as tough as old boots.

The other day my wife told me she has a friend who sells chicken satay and she can get it for half price. Ever the supportive husband I says well done, that's a good thing... and I get it every bladdy day now. I can see why it's half price.

I soon tire of trying to spear the bits of cucumber with a cocktail stick as well... like apple bobbing but even more frustrating.

But mustn't grumble.

Are you sure its not pork? Truthfully it looks like good old "Mu Stay". Fooled me for years, by the color I thought chicken. Nope turmeric makes it yellowish.

Get a chicken breast and cook it in the sauce, then serve over rice with some ripped coriander.

I call them invisible noodles but wiki calls them cellophane noodles. They have their uses, especially in spring rolls and steamboats.

Well AO... you called that one!

Guess what I had for lunch yesterday...

It turns out the half price chicken satay my wife gets from her 'friend' is indeed pork. It doesn't get better with age either... after two days in the fridge even the dogs struggle to chew it.



There is no way I can tell the wife about this and keep a straight face... so I'm just gonna keep on eating it. She doesn't take well to ridicule.

The daughter and I had a good chuckle about this last night and are hoping her friend goes out of business soon.

^That doesn't look good, I know it's sometimes hard to judge food based on a pic but that's just got to be dry and tough

^ Think 'proper leather sandal' and you'd be close.

But let's not start that discussion again!
