I haven't seen any garlic mash, spinach-cheese or minted gravy in there

^Pity, it'd at least put something tasty on your Easter dinner plate

Who'd have thought some big Aussie could make dinner sound gayer than a plate of faggots

^I've never eaten faggots, do you buy them a beer first?

Its for winners, always a go to item in The Hungry Nerd after you've sat through your Mrs eating soup made of bits most people put in the bin.

^ Heineken 0.0

Nev mentioned them the other week. They are not as good as I remember. I reckon Mendy would enjoy them. Full of offal and sawdust I think.

^With the word offal, I'll pass. The sawdust part sounds like it'd give them body though.

Mendip was playing "guess the body part" with his daughter. Meals should be educational as well as nutritional!

^^ I didn't realise those were ears...

If I was to leave Isaan forever there's many tastes and smells I'd be quite glad to see the back of, but not larb moo... I love the stuff.

I decided to risk another one today but I was in charge of the chilli and I had a toilet roll handy... just in case.

We're in the process of running down the frozen and close to out-of-date provisions here so centre stage today for lunch was an almost out of date smoked chicken breasts from Makro and three large but old potatoes. Decided I had enough other stuff for a good old fashioned potato bake. So peeled and chopped the potatoes into 2cm cubes, same with the chicken breasts and added both to a baking dish. Added some frozen vegetables, a couple of rough chopped onions and six large garlic cloves. Raided the spice box for salt and ground chili/cumin/black pepper. Added 250ml of cooking cream and gave it all a good stir. Then a sh#t load of grated mozzerella and bread crumbs. Added several knobs of garlic butter. Baked uncovered in the oven at 180 Celsius for 40 minutes. (In hindsight thinking next time a foil cover for same time at 160 then ten more minutes uncovered.) Wife and I enjoyed it, enough for breakfast tomorrow as well.

Ketchup on a dish that looked so good after baking..

Fish n chips. Happy to see mushy peas added. Then realised, it wasn’t mushy peas, it was sliced peas, beans and onion.

Sliced peas?

Looks more like they were squashed.

possibly. But they certainly were not mushy.
