I certainly think so too, some would disagree. But if you went to any good steakhouse anywhere in the world and asked for the steak to be cooked to the Chefs recommendation to bring out the best flavour and tenderness, it would come out of the kitchen within a few degrees of what's pictured. It's actually a tiny bit underdone to what I normally cook, but better to be under than over.Quote:

This is the woolworths 1.2Kg one that can easily be demolished in 1 sitting
Annoying that Coles have discontinued their monster 2Kg job that required at least 2 sessions
A pre made dinner? Would be a worthy addition for the blokes cooking thread!
Quick n easy weekend beer n movie short-ribs

Look good but quick?
^^Why do your pics always look so dark? Not that I'm any sort of a food photographer (irrefutable proof below) but those ribs and protruding bones could not have been that colour!
Anyway, some terrible pics of some nice food last night.

Probably 3 seconds.
They absolutely were. We do 'em with BBQ and honey, which caramelises. Outside caramelised, inside juicy and tender fall off the bone-io. :yup:Quote:

Tonight was an open air, Chinese style crab plce. No menu, we have chilli crab or steamed crab (and rice and fried chicken wings) plus plenty of cold beer.

Steamed crab
Attachment 79966
Chilli crab and this was really good... the sauce had vinegar in it also, which sweetened it and cut through the richness a little.

I trust that was a lava egg about to splurt its ejectulate all over the rice.Quote:

Miss Lusty does have the curiously blokish habit of leaving the toilet seat up after she goes. If we were not already intimately acquainted it would be a red flag. But it seems she is just being accommodating of her male house guest (or paranoid about splashes on her seat)Quote:

A Xmas warm up, or Thanksgiving as you Yanks call it:)

I do miss the Malaysian food courts - excellent food at a good price, best food in Asia (with Singapore)Quote:

It's been all about lamb at the Mendip household the last couple of days.
Braised lamb shank, Mediterranean style.

Just the job to settle down to a Christmas film with... a Green if you can guess which one?

Dan liked what she saw!

As it's Christmas...

And it's cold enough at night in Isaan to almost feel like the real thing. Nothing like a Winter pudding!

As I'm sure that a couple have noticed, these were big meals for a dieting father and 10 year-old daughter. You have no choice about the size of a lamb shank, but tonight was lamb rissoles from the extensive leftovers.
With of course, my signature mushy pea fritter cake. You won't find this in any Isaan restaurants.

Lovely!

she's probably worried about breaking it when she stands on it.Quote:

Mushy pea fritter cake you say?
Put gravy with that and either me or Joe might be PMing you a marriage proposal! :)
Money's on Joe though; I've heard he's got balls like watermelons at the moment.
I'd love to hear the conversation between the two when she's comparing the stuff she eats with dad and the stuff she eats with mum. :)Quote:

I'm introducing her to the basics mate but she soon loses interest after the fun jobs are done. There's a big pie day coming up and I'll probably be on my own before trimming the second kidney.Quote:

And the movie wasn't 'Dave236 Does Dallas', as someone has suggested.
It was 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', which I thought was pretty shite to be honest.

Always the way where gravy is concerned. You know what it does to folk.

Leave my gonrads out of the dinner thread.Quote:
