    Have you ever asked yourself why such a strange thought comes into your mind?

    ^ Yeah, I know. Whoever has onion gravy with an Italian style spicy sausage meal?

    You might like this one, Mendip.

    Pesto Risotto with Peas
    ^ The taste of Ya Dong is pretty hard to ignore as well, and I think it won on that occasion. But I have whole jar of pesto to experiment with so don't worry.

    I really like risotto and often choose it if I'm eating out, but I've never made it. It looks way too complicated and I understand that you need a special kind of rice? I think that some things are best left to the professionals.

    Slapping a dollop of pesto on the end of a Spanish sausage doesn't really make it an Italian meal, IMHO.

    ^ Nice, but I much prefer the yellow egg noodles.

    Last night we had a light dinner of pan fried barramundi smeared with pesto, and salad.



    I can't believe that I've just discovered pesto.

    Whether 80s or not, we've got through half a jar in less than a week.



    I'll have to try a pesto and pasta dish next week.

    Can I call that Italian, Shutree?

    My rice cooker has arrived and I got a 5kg pack of Thai Jasmine rice for £10 from the Asian supermarket.

    I also got a nice pack of pork ribs so I’m gonna knock up a nice big Massamman to kickstart the weekend.

    Braised pig cheeks on a bed of mash. They were outstanding and not too bad £19

    that lobo stuff is useless imo. you are better off buying the paste in the market and freezing it, it doesnt freeze hard so you can freeze
    in lumps cut bits off and put it back
