Thread: Dinner

Thanks Marmite

Sorry - no offence meant. Your dinners usually look really good., but that salad looks dry and uninspiring.

Twas made (mainly) by the missus's 14yr old niece who is staying with us for the night, the salad is the job we give her when she come over.

I told her it looked lovely

(And no offence taken )

Those ribs are looking good.

Will have to pick up some tomorrow.

A touch dry, possibly (I'm sure condiments were pending), but uninspiring? Fuck no! That salad is a collage of vibrancy which would only otherwise be envisioned during the midst of an acid trip with the backbone of a fucking brontosaurus.

Fine effort all around - as per....

Hence why why call it the 'multicultural' salad. I chuck ingredients at the Thai's, the half English/Thai niece cuts & chops it, I eat it.

And yes that was pre-dressing. I like a bit of lime/olive oil/ black pepper & balsamic. Missus & niece prefer a different dressing which is why it was served 'naked'.

Did we go to the same collage?

Failing that, you could always drizzle on a few thimble fulls of that cute lil old award winner you've got slyly lurking at the back

And she produced a quality salad. I'm mentally spooning it into a length of foccacia and necking the fucker as we speak.

Foccacia is usually a slab, isn't it? I think a length of the Midget's ciabatta would work better, especially if fresh from the oven.

Slab, length, essentially the same beast - give me a chunk of wholemeal produce, and that salad is going places faster than you can say Thomas Cook.

Satnav you tell the young one her salad looks absolutely delicious from me.


Has she even chopped up some strawberries on it ?


Could be a lot worse with a Thai getting involved with shovel fulls of chilli + garlic

I reckon that salad looks the dogs bollocks only thing I would add would be a few Black and Green Olives a good drizzle of quality extra virgin olive oil and a good portion of shaved parmigiano regianno ,oh and maybe a slice or 5 of proscuitto !!!
YUM FUCKIN YUM

I am going to make barbecued pulled pork tonight. I could not find any pita bread so I am going to make them into wraps. I am beginning to wonder if its worth posting up after seeing what Satonic has been through. We shall see, going to be good though.

That it is mate, but not when you dont have time. Wraps will be fine. Can you send me your recipe as well? Thanks. Any of those good recipes your wife bakes up.

For pita bread? Any one which uses plain flour should do.

It certainly seems that way. I was just looking online at a few recipes... I think I'll have a go at making some mid week as Pita bread isn't always available in my local villa.

3 cups plus a scant 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (16 oz./454 grams)
2 teaspoons salt (1/2 oz./13.2 grams)
2 teaspoons instant yeast (6.4 grams)
2 tablespoons olive oil (1 oz./27 grams)
1 1/4 cups water, at room temperature (10.4 oz./295 grams)

I have some taramasalata and hummus in the fridge

Roast Chicken and Roasted rattatioui with some melted cheese on top. Bloody lovely

Make sure your oven is fucking hot. Forget all this 220 degrees bollocks, just crank it up and leave it for 20mins. Leave the baking tray or even better baking stone in there and make sure it's bloody hot too.

After riding 30km of dirt/swamps/single track and splitting my knee open today no way I was cooking It may look bad but trust me it tasted like heaven after the day I have had. 2 beers, a shower and viewing the video of my crash then I'm ready for bed!

Spicy chicken kebab from the Indian restaurant inside my moo baan. I turned up head to toe covered in mud, water still dripping from my boots and blood running down my leg! Needless to say I got a takeaway
