Thread: Dinner

Maybe manicotti, but probably not cannelloni, which does not have ridges.

Think personally, too big for penne....

Similar with Cottage/Shephards pie, allow the meat mix to cool in the dish before putting in the potato topping.

There was no name on the bag other than "Pasta" but I think this type of Macaroni is called Penne.
I am no expert . I call them all Yummy. LOL

That is weird - the bag shows elbow pasta, but the contents do indeed seem to be penne. How they ended up apparently so large in the photo is a mystery to me.

Still, looked great.

Fried chicken and cheesy shoestring fries. A Thai classic.

They sell packets of that orange cheese powder they sprinkle on them, in the 7 now. 25 baht for a box of 5 sachets. Cheap as... well... chips.


Gimme a shout if you want 4 ones that aren't gonna be used sent down.

We called that "chip spice" in Hull. Quite like it. Send a pic and I'll keep a look out.

Rather that than give you my address

Make that 3.

^ that gave me a chuckle....

Never noticed that it's not actually orange... until you stick it in a lunch box with some chips and give it a good Tom Cruise.



Still, I'm sure it's made with 100% real cheese and doesn't contain any chemicals at all.

That's one of those smashed patties, innit? They're magic.

^^

Could just go that or similar now, however Slender September has won on this occasion.

Nice Mandy....I'll post up a picture from the local smash burger place here.

Dinner...Tuna, asparagus and blackeyed peas ...



Plated...with a bit of homemade balsamic reduction...

Looks good

Yup, was a smash burger patty- apparently they are well known for pizza

She did do the cooking and nailed the tuna, it doesn't happen often. I made the balsamic reduction. It's been years since I've had black eyed peas. The bacon was frozen or I'd have chucked a piece in the them.

That burger and fries looks great. Plain old dal bhat for me tonight.
Sigh.
