Love your style Nigel.....budget eating at its finest 10/10

( sorry out of greens )

Nigel's fish dinner got me going on the idea so...

White Snapper, lemon juice, white wine, and salt parcels. Easiest way to cook fish there is (with no clean-up afterwards) and put into the parcel any spice/herb etc you like.

Sealed up tight but with some breathing space for steam inside the bag, and into a 170 deg C oven for 20 mins while making a salad.

And onto a plate. Couldn't be easier, but tastes nice.

^ that looks great

Another boring old chewy Thai French steak. Never tell a woman you like something, they will cook it everyday

Very similar to beef, but more chewy, hence best slow-cooked, dried & grilled or eaten as Laab dip.

Quite nice, actually.

Most would be surprised - or not.

It may not look pretty but after a two hour bike ride and one hour swim with my minions, no ones complaining..

Looks not too bad triple C however points deducted for using frozen yorkshires and also not trimming the ends of the beans off before cooking
