Came across some apple sauce today so went and got a some pork and had roast pork with crackling with apple sauce, roast spuds and steamed cauli, carrots and beans smothered in a nice white sauce.
De fucking licious. Haven't had that in years. I'd forgotten what it's like. Comfort food at it's best.
Kids loved it too.
Have roast pork and spuds often enough but the apple sauce and cauli with the white sauce add a little something special.
Egg and chips, classic and tasty as fook.
I froze two of them.Quote:

Anyway it was just a casual comment nothing to demonstate your all knowing acumen on all things.Quote:

Always better on the street (or cooked by L) than any fancy restaurant.
^ Nothin wrong with a little flied lice :)
I always pass on the fish sauce and double down on the manao
Best fried rice in the world is Thai, and I've noticed that it's always better when there are two fat women making and serving it.
The two fat ladies by my old abode in Bangkok used to put a bit of chili sauce in there too. Arrrrrrooooiiii!
New York Strip, caramelized onions and garlic garnish, jacket potatoes filled with Parmesan cheese, fennel seeds, herbs, topped with sour cream... :)

^ That green Jap spicy sauce makes a refreshing change from mushroom sauce.. (less calories too).
Oh Jaysus, Mary n Joseph.
:wank:
Myself as well...who'd believe lime juice adds something special to fried rice?Quote:

Get cooking Jeff! pop open some ya-dong, c ya in 5. heh,,
Out of interest Dickie, roughly what will you be paying for steak/lamb in Japan when you move there?. I've never spent time there (excluding airport transfer) but have always been led to believe quality meat in Japan is a similar price per gram to gold bullion.
Great meal above BTW, thanks for sharing.
Funny you should mention lamb... just cooked up a mean little roast lamb tonight.Quote:

Here is my little pot roast $10 kiwi...
Gravy I made from the drippings, added red wine vinegar, red wine, some strawberry jam, and corn starch mixed with a little water to thicken the gravy.
slow cooked the lamb on a rack in the oven @ 150c for 2 hours - then a further 10 mins @ 200c to build a crust (added butter to help the crust form).
Bread I bought from a specialty shop (supposed to be the best bread in Auckland) made a simple vinaigrette (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper)...
Was going to go fancy and top with cheese, tomatoes, etc... simple was already good.

That's restaurant that is.
Restaurant is now an adjective.
Top, top work sir.
Loving the garlic cloves thru the lamb, that combo of flavours just works so well. And the temp probe takes all guess work out of getting the joint to where you want it. Top marks all round.
:tumbs:
Same thing works well with pork....Quote:

Know the method well!

Fuck, feel like roast lamb now :)

I bought one of those too. Actually, we got 10k of Home Pro credit from our mortgage lender so it was free. Christened it at Trang Bike Week and Rollergirl made almost 9k profit on Burgers and Hot Dogs. All made from scratch including the buns.
Indeed. I did the same with cloves and a ham a couple of Christmases ago. This was it after it had been cooked in cider for 2 or 3 hrs and almost "decloved."

Really simple and very tasty.
