Looks reasonable, Dilly - except for the Zuc, which I consider a weak excuse for a side vege. Otherwise, grand!

The Lemon Luigi looked a bit sour.

Zucchini, or courgettes are often dismissed, dunno why.
I lived in a house where there was an old allotment, and the sole survivors were several plants (?) and they grew faster than we could eat them. Great for everything easy to cook. Love 'em. Added to stews they tend to disintergrate but act as a natrual thickener with subtle flavou

Lamb shank is well done, as I like it
Pulled pork and beef has become a fad in the UK over the last couple of years, good stuiff, man.

What's the cake in that bowl? Pumpkin pie?

Can't find that easily here in England. Fat fuckers don't know what they're missing

you know me boy

Basic stuff today. Kippers, rice & krappow veggies (red peppers, green beans and cucumber thrown in at the end - just to heat through, not cook)



Perfect basmati (I prefer)




Almost there



I finished the lot. Lovely.
2 oranges & a kiwi for dessert


Can kippers be bought in Thailand?

Never seen them for sale fresh anywhere, only in tins at supermarkets. A long time ago Foodland had smoked fish that was cryovaced in the deli section (I use to buy their Trout and Cod sometimes) and I think they had Kippers too. But that line of products hasn't been available for a long time now.

And to wade in to the Zucchini debate; Steamed or simmered till they're just tender then well seasoned, they're an tasty and healthy side veggie. Cooked to the point of being mush, not so much...

He got BANNED last time he posted pics of his dinner. Don't think he'll make that mistake twice, but fingers crossed .

Slice the courgettes, toss in seasoned flour. Then fry until golden. The outside is slightly crispy and the inside just cooked.

Why a Thai rice cooker? That one does exactly the same job.

I'm in England, remember!
A National (Panasonic) imported can be bought in London's Chinatown, for £45.
That one cost me £19

Well in my experience I had a UK style rice cooker before which used to make the rice kinda mushy + wet never seemed to do perfect rice , kinda light + dryish + fluffy , thats the only way I can eat it , and the bit of kit I have does it perfectly .

Just my experience with my old cooker , my Thai one cost me £45 and just went in my hard suitcase , mind you its used everyday by the other half so we have had our use out of it

Took me a while to get it right, Thai jasmine rice comes out mushy, tried many times. always preferred basmati anyhow. I found that it's best if you put one cup rice to 1 3/4 cups water rather than two cups. Believe it or not that small amount makes a difference.

Can get adventurous and add garlic salt instead of regular
Add a few crushed cardoman seeds for the indian taste or a few whole cloves, or both.....also tumeric will make it yellow (pilau rice)

Bought some really good basmati rice in Aldi last week , good price it was to ,, the wife really likes this now , which is going to save me a fortune from the very expensive overpriced Thai jasmine , IMO the basmati cooks beautifully in the cooker and is as light + fluffy as you can get it

Got a good sized squash in there to last week 59p it was , going to have a go at making a decent squash soup for my Sunday dinner this weekend

Wife wont go near Basmati...It's from India!

Just as well mate ^ you dont have to pay UK rice prices

Last nights Chinky

Main and a few snacks
