Thread: Lunch ... the second course

^ indeed

^^ does anyone else think PAG's cooking would benefit from the odd Hello Kitty utensil just to make the rest of us feel a little less inadequate?

I have my share of disasters, same as anyone else. Always (well, nearly) enjoyed cooking, and the more you do the more intuitive it becomes particularly with timing and temperature, and getting the ingredients ready before you start lessens the potential of panic. Building up a decent selection of equipment over time undoubtable helps. My favourite kitchen equipment? The humble silicone spatula.

Mine is a pair of sprung loaded tongs for turning stuff in the oven.

I'd have to say my chef's knife. It makes my prep work a breeze.

Sliders, onion rings, a triple-header of live NRL games on tv, weekend sports bets all winning so far. Life's pretty good today

That gave me a laugh as well!

Half a roast chicken smothered in a piri piri sauce accompanied by a jacket potato and some fvcked up pink creamy inedible coleslaw..



Should have had the wild salmon like my eldest did..

Co-incidence, M'Sahib pulled a couple of salmon pieces out of the freezer this morning, though I can't verify their wildness.....

Anyway, gonna pan fry and have with teriyaki sauce, with a side of assorted roast veg.

Onion, carrot, broccoli, and cucumber (never had roasted cucumber before, but most things taste OK when roasted).





Seasoned the salmon.



Into the pan with some baby celery.



Once the skin crisp and the flesh cooked, added some teriyaki sauce (I wanted to make my own however M'Sahib insisted I use a bottle she'd bought - no faith) and some mixed sesame seeds on top.



A healthy lunch.

PAG, that's looks great. How did the roasted cucumbers turn out?

OK, not unlike courgette. I guess like any of veg such as marrows, squash, aubergine etc, they need to be well seasoned to bring out any flavour.

Different cooking times, longer on the carrots tho, i tend to stagger the veg going in. Love roasted veg, always cook a load if i put the oven on, eat two days or freeze some for a quick meal.

Me fresh North Atlantic cod arrived this morning.




Breadcrumbs blendered.










May or may not be fresh north atlantic cod

Most fish is iced on board as its caught so its unlikely

Being sourced from the freezer in Big C at 20 baht a kilo is another clue.

There are visual differences between farmed and wild salmon.

Fuck nose why but while shopping yesterday the ingredients I didn't already have at home for Tacos ended up in the trolley.



And there's no delicate way I know to do anything besides assemble and eat on the fly with these things

Jam is a novel addition
