Really? Were they? You were with Joe when he went diving, were you?

And as for who’s after who? Try and be a little less obvious ya pikey stalker, you cyb and Joe. A trio of stupid stalkers.

Some left over curry sauce and sides, washed down with a cobra! epic end to a great weekend!

It certainly does look left over…

Got a little into it before I thought to take a picture. The tandoori chicken was swiftly disposed of the night before.

Round two of the spiced chicken last night, that I'd made on Saturday. As ever with these kind of dishes, tastes better having been in the fridge for a day. Only thing different was adding some cream to the sauce before reheating it.

^ It always tastes better once matured a little. Great cooking PAGS!

To all others as well, really great cooking lads, I feel left behind so I think it is time to get into the kitchen and learn a few things!

Fancied some cauliflower cheese today, but what to have with it? I'm quite happy to eat it on its own, but opted for a pork chop and some mashed potato. Decided to roast the cauliflower rather than boil or steam it.



Light coating of oil and S&P and in the oven for 20 minutes.



For the sauce, needed to fry up some onion first.





This particular recipe calls for spices, including cumin seeds, curry powder, mustard powder, fresh green chillies and black mustard seeds. When the onion cooked, the spices added for a few more minutes.



Cream, then grated cheese (in this case, mature cheddar) mixed in and simmered until smooth.





This poured over the cauliflower in an oven dish, with some more grated cheese mixed with fresh breadcrumbs and parley scattered over the top.



Another 20 minutes in the oven, followed by 10 minutes under the grill and she's ready. Smells great, looking forward to it.



Simple mash potato, with only a raw egg mixed in rather than butter or milk/cream.





Fairly large chop, bone in, which is going to be baked.



Made a rub of S&P, paprika and brown sugar.



30 minutes in the oven, turning over half way. A few minutes resting.



Very pleased, particularly with the chop as I haven't baked them that often in the past. Cauliflower lived up to its promise also.

Fucking hell, you knocked it out of the park again. Fantastic pics and food. Green owed.

Looks amazing Pag.

I see you liberally use the word bake instead of roast.

Have you given my proposition any further thought?

If you lift that glass bowl of butter up and look at it from below, it kinks the same way as me

^^ FFS PAG... that looks great and I almost feel embarrassed posting this after your masterpiece... but last night I wasn't drunk and this thread seems like the most suitable fit for my dinner...

It was a leftover dinner before I left home for s short trip,away, but surprisingly nice.

And I know it wasn't up to my usual high standards.

Good lord, that blinds the eyes after what I just saw. Keep the fucking beans in the breakfast thread. You wankers can have that thread since all you post is shit.

At least let the rest of us escape from your horror.

^^^Dill, just wondering, do you go both ways or something?

Anyway, thanks for that priceless piece of info.



Pork chop could have done with being removed from the heat ten minutes earlier, imo.

Wouldn't you for chef quality cauliflower cheese and one of those pork chops?

Nah, tender as anything and fat properly rendered.

I can only hope some of you are getting regular cholesterol check.

About a month ago. Fighting fit and all vitals in correct ranges.

Glad to hear it. Had mine yesterday. First time for about 18 months (lock down not making me want to go to my usual public hospital) - was expecting the worse, but amazingly, still good to trot.

I agree Cyrille. PAGs meal looks delish. Pork chop looks like it had to be sawed and chewed though.

Man Mendy. That meal looks like prison slop.

Just did a full boat physical. Cholesterol a tad high. 6pts out of range. Few less shrimp and 1 less steak should reel it back in.

Do you need to drop them on the floor first or does the AirFryer do that to them?

I've just completed a very enjoyable three day business trip to Bangkok and thought I'd share a few of the culinary highlights. They were a mixture of Lunch and Dinner to be honest, but what difference does it make in the city that never sleeps?

Fish and chips in Fitzgeralds on Soi 4 (used to be Hanrahans) on Day 2. I was really hoping for a gammon, egg ad chips with a slice of pineapple but they no longer have it on the menu.



Nice, firm cod. Better, to be honest, than the pla nin out of my pond at home. A generous portion of peas as well.



A pre-lunch pint on Day 3.



There seems to be a new 'English' style bar opened opposite to Fitzgeralds called Chequers, and one of the highlights of my trip was watching a girl with the shortest of shorts and the most stupendous pair of legs I've ever seen reach up to wind in the awning as it got dark on the previous evening.

Anyway, Smoked Cod Chowder for lunch. I was hoping for steak and kidney pie but they no longer have it on the menu...



And very nice it was too. I have no idea what makes this a 'chowder' rather than a soup but I intend to do some research. I think my next project will be to start smoking pla nin I catch from my pond at home and have a go at this.



On the way back to my hotel last night I finished up the trip by picking up a nice larb moo. I'm used to the moo being minced/chopped but the girl assured me this was also larb moo.
