Herrings coated in coarse black pepper & Thai chilli sauce
Prawn panang, extra extra hot



Choice of delicious snacks later

Jap crap

Jan says did you go out for fish + chips after ??

I'd think he'd be sick of fish after that.

Never seen the attraction off sushi and raw fish, maybe i've not tried it enough.

Is that a dumpling on top off the rice?

Here's tonight dish cooked by the missus.

Baked baby potatoes with BBQ chicken and salad.

Also a special extra hot Teakdoor sauce...

Blimey , you on a diet to mate ^ ?

Not the "see food" diet

Jeff will be along in a minute and tell you one piece of chicken would be enough

Sterling advice he offers

Won't be going back there again.

Nikomi hamburg, or a beef burger patty in sauce

Both Aldi and Lidl sell the excellent Combino brand, some of the best variety of sauces I've had for a long time. They stopped selling the egg pasta about 2yrs back, fuck knows why, bloody tasty it was, but their regular pasta is just as good, the spaghetti in particular.

Far superior to Dolmio and the well overrated Lloyd Grossman brand

Best thing about it? The price. Would recommend.

Carbonara 'sauce' just can't be bought.

I appreciate that mate ^ I will apologise and say a lookalike carbonara sauce.

However when a hungry truck driver and care worker come home , price + convieience come into play

Saw a lovely looking whole Aussie tenderloin in Foodland today, got them to cut the big end off and wrap 'er up. Was going to use it for steaks but fuck it, hadn't had a decent feed of roast beef in a while so....

A bit of butchers string around it to hold it all together, some salt'n'pepper, and we're good to go.


1hr 20mins later @ 180 the temperature probe showed medium rare in the center, job done.


That'll work, I get meat from the middle and Mrs Worx (who can't stand the sight of blood) gets the medium to well-done end bits.


And some fresh veggies on the side. Covered it all in gravy of course, but fuck posting that pic then doing battle with Batty over the merits of gravy on anything any more . Very happy with the result, tenderloin is probably overkill for a roast but why not, life isn't a rehearsal...

The leftovers on samidges tomorrow will be good .

Perfect not sweet, not creamy, not Asianed, dead easy carbonara sauce.

^Watching this with interest. My hat comes off to you guys who do Lasagna from scratch.

I do it every couple of weeks and I share the red wine with the lasagne , so I quite enjoy it with a bit of music on in the background.

Your meat looks great, but my little oven just can't make the grade when it comes to roasts.

The carbonara is one of my wife's favourites when I make it.

I was stuck with the crappy frozen stuff.

^Looks delish!. Loving the liberal use of butter. Your cardiologist might not agree but who cares, he/she is probably a vegan.

I'd smash that with a dolcelatte sauce.

If I had any steak or any dolcelatte...

To start



Crispy fish with fried rice

Spicy chicken stew

Got 6 good sized chicken thighs, skinned, seasoned with peri-peri salt & coarse black pepper, bit of olive oil, into a sealed bag in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Sealed in the pan with 3 finely chopped big garlic cloves & 4 chopped red chillis. Dashed in white wine, let it bubble for a few mins, added stock, mixed dried herbs, celery salt, can of heinz tomato soup, chopped peppers, potatoes.

Let it boil then simmered for 90mins.



Chucked two of these in the oven for 30mins, added green beans to the stew.



Ate all 6 thighs & gratins (I'm on a high protein diet)



Freeze the remainder of the soup for another day, to be eaten with crusty wholemeal bread

Some good cooks on here lately , well done lads
