I'm probably the worst cook here, but I've decided to try. For tonight's dinner:



My masterstroke was to mix a tin of banana cream in with the milk and cheesecake mix - kinda tasted like (when I was licking the prep bowl) banana angel delight, and it doesn't get any better than that (other than butterscotch angel delight!).

The more observant among you may notice the coffee mate and T-bags in the background (Twinnings English Breakfast has improved).

For tomorrow, I'm going a step further... Got some frozen chicken breasts and a Thai green curry mix... Hope it's easy and tasty.

Cheers for posting pics but you eat all processed foods. You must be an American no wait for it the UK eats the same shit.

^is there any other type???

Yes I was pretty much spot on and at least deserve a point.

Yeah, well as I said, working with what I had. Too much bread for a burger.
Will have my wood oven soon and make my own buns.
And no, I wont marry you yah poof.

Before you ask Betty ,neither will I .

Not sure about Dillingers response ( best PM him )

Well done N99. Can't beat a good BBQ!

Think I'm having pies for the foreseeable future.

^ Tell me one of those is apple and rhubarb and I'll let you have bettyboo for the night.
If it's the big one you can marry her.

^ hang on, hang on; not unless I get to share the rhubarb pie...

It's not gay if you don't enjoy it; Socal told me so.

So, jonesing for a decent burger, sadly lacking most of the essential including buns, beetroot, pineapple, mushrooms etc.
Will just have to make do until I can replenish stocks in a raid on the mooban pantry.

Step 1.
Put on Dire Straights Greatest Hits and go into your meat room.




Step 2.
Look around the fridge and pantry for some tasty herbs ( bit of basil and rosemary), slice an onion finely and mince (not in a gay way mind you) a clove or two of garlic.
Throw it in a bowl with a good glug of Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, herbs and a beaten egg.






Mix well.
Yeah, you'll wanna clean under your nails and leave a tap running for this bit.



Add some bread crumbs for consistency and to dry it out abit if it's too wet.
Make 3 or 4 patties per kilo, this aint fuckin McDonalds, no 1/4 pounder shit here thanks, set aside in the fridge to set before cooking. One for now, two in ziplocks for the freezer.




Step 3.
Slice an onion and some fresh chilli, add white and black pepper to taste.




Brown lightly in a little oil then add a table spoon or two of brown sugar, stir!
When the sugar starts to caramelize drench the lot in Balsamic or white vinegar, I use the former.




Before you ask, YES, that much fucking vinegar....
Keep this just below the boil and reduce the vinegar while stirring.
Keep going until it reaches a sticky jam like consistency.




You now have a hot and slightly sweet onion relish. This will keep for some time in the fridge if you want to make a batch. Makes a great side or dip as welll as a tasty sauce.


Step 4
Peel wash and thinly slice a couple of spuds or sweet potatoes. Depending on how thick you like your chips, parboiling is helpful but not necessary
Salt, Pepper, tarragon leaves and olive oil.
Throw on the bbq, basting with the leftover oil and turning as required.


When the chips have some color rap them in foil and roast for a little while. (negates the need to parboil).

I know "basting" sounds like a very gay thing to be doing, but it's not. If it helps, try to think of it as bbq bukkake.
Drink some beer. No, no! Not in a glass like some Oxford St metrosexual lisping and flicking his hair while he talks about this amazing new "product" he's found for his morning facial cleanse.
Drink it straight from the bottle like a man goddamit!



Run out of gas and complain (in between swigs of your bottle) to the woman about why, exactly, didn't she bloody well tell you it was almost empty while you wait for the gas man to deliver a new bottle.
Drink some more beer.

Step 5.
Go treat your dead ground up/sliced animals with a suitable helping of FIRE!
Cook a couple of eggs while you are there.





Step 6.
Do something to whatever bread you could find, bit of olive oil and a light toasting maybe, get some cheese, lettuce and construct your best burger. Your juicy medium rare burger, onion jam and runny egg (you did cook the egg slightly runny didn't you?) add all the texture and taste you need. Add sauce if you are a raving girlyman who is always the catcher and first to reach for the wetwipes after sex*.









I know, I know, there is lettuce on it. May as well be eating an Ant Robinson certified plate of freakin rabbit food.
But it's only a bit and mainly for color and presentation purposes. I threw it away after the pic.
Honest.



Step 7.
Burp...




* Extrapolated from the odd Socal thread, I've no idea what actually goes on between girlymen.

were those knives locally purchased or imported?

Scanpan from Denmark.
Brought them in Oz, good knives, the diamond sharpener that comes with the is a bit lightweight though.
