^Fuckin hell, do you ever eat anything that needs a knife on the side of the plate and doesn't look like leftovers?. Not having a go at your Missus's cooking but do you ever eat things like steak/lamb/roast chicken/lasagna etc?. I just find it impossible to believe you're comfortable dishing out pearls of culinary wisdom to everyone elses dinners while you're saying grace over that :confused:.
Chicoree, sliced ham, Gouda cheese, eggs

Boil the chicoree for a few minutes, than wrap with ham
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2015/10/743.jpg
Mix the eggs, grated cheese, salt, spoonful of mayo and a bit of milk

Place in a dish with more grated cheese on top, ready to go in the oven

25 minutes later

A meal in itself, but mashed potatoes go well with it

Went down quickly, had a second one, mum ate one and one is for the next lunch

Same same - having decent Thai cooks in the household. Many do, though...Quote:

Anyway, as I am joining the missus for the vegetarian festival (she is a full time vege), tonight supper is melanzane parmigiana made by yours truly, with a potato salad and fresh water cress.

Total cost - who knows. Wine in the tomato sauce was 900 baht. The banana is for the dog...
The wife does go to the butcher's and get some nice pork bones for a chops/ribs type experience from time to time. She also does a lovely chicken and chips when I ask for it, but generally she cooks Thai food.Quote:

Just a bit of roast chicken and veg. What exactly the veg's are on the left side I don't know, Bok Choi and baby broccoli and something else maybe. Mrs Worx is also on this veggie diet and had a steamer full of this sort of thing on the go.

Fuk me, Dil - when did you win the lottery because it's eating out every night for you...
(Unless that's just the water feature on your apartment balcony?)
^^beautiful setting for dinner. Where is that?.
And one might remember where Farang originates and diffused from - and it is European.Quote:

You need get out more, HW..Quote:

Washed down with cider, Stroller? (Magners?)

This looks a nice bit of grub

^ Might blow the £1 per meal budget though:)
Around 4 Euros.
