Not exactly for dinner but I did have this pork loin on a freshly baked roll that I purchased from the Ban Chang “Danish Bakery”, with gouda cheese, thinly sliced tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, and spicy mustard. The roll with the sliced pork loin and cheese on it I toasted in the toaster over. The pork loin I seasoned with the ever flavorful “McCormick’s Grill Mates Spicy Montreal Seasoning” and then grilled it on the Bar BQ.

2 November 2011:

Today's lunch was plain but totally satisfying. At Villa SEA Traveler I cooked up a pork burger with two slices of sweet Spanish onions, sliced tomatoes, pickles topped with spicy mustard, catchup, and mayo on an over sized seeded roll from the local Danish Bakery.

and as if that wasn’t enough, I made some garlic mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy. this is what I would call a man’s lunch. You know, something that sticks to the ribs.

I took a 45 min swim to work off some of the calorie intake and as you say, probably no dinner this evening.

**nigelandjan** · 04-11-2011, 12:50 AM

Tonight,s delights ,, a scrumptious Tom kaa gai with a plate of laab moo to follow ,,, just the thing to warm the cockles of your heart on a cold November night ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,only problem is it,s been 18 degrees today here !

This was followed by a delicious banana fritter ,,,,, trouble is it was so del it was gone before I got me camera out

**natalie8** · 04-11-2011, 02:07 AM

Looks great! And so does your lamb dinner. Yummy. I have a bad cold now so I can't smell or taste anything, but my appetite is still going.

**OhOh** · 04-11-2011, 02:14 AM

You're making my mouth water there nigelandjan.

**nigelandjan** · 04-11-2011, 04:43 AM

Well I can,t take any credit for this one OO as it,s all Jan,s work, bless her she tries so hard to give me lovely meals each day , love her so much.

Sorry to hear about the cold Natt ,, I think you will be blaming your hubby for that one ,, were both very lucky we seemed to have escaped his cold

, pity your not here this weekend as I am doing the roast lamb meal ,, with upside down pineapple pudding complete with homemade vanilla custard

**SEA Traveler** · 04-11-2011, 08:09 AM

Looking good n&j, more cooks in the kitchen the better in this case.

**nigelandjan** · 15-11-2011, 12:49 AM

Tonight,s welcoming meal Kao Soi Gai , my God this was delicious thanks Jan

**Bogon** · 15-11-2011, 01:17 AM

Is your missus from the North Nigel?

Kao Soi is up there as one of my fave Northern Thai dishes. Quite difficult to get in Bangkok.
The best up North for me has to be Gaeng Hung Lae though (excuse the spelling as usual).

**armstrong** · 15-11-2011, 02:03 AM

i cooked chips, cheese, bacon and beans... was shit.

**nigelandjan** · 15-11-2011, 02:07 AM

No mate she,a an Issan gal from a little village out in a north east direction from Udon Thani , past Ban Dung out past the salt fields

**Bogon** · 15-11-2011, 08:10 AM

^ Just having a guess she was from the North 'cos of the Kao Soi.

Also nice to see you are mans man.
Keeping the TV remote close to you at all times.
Don't want those pesky females changing channels to Jeremy Kyle whilst eating.

Well thanks for that comment Betty actually for my part it did get better as I swamped it with gravy ,, I do like a good bit of the old brown windsor on me plate , but I thought for the sake of the pic I would picture it before I emptied the gravy boat on it

**aging one** · 16-11-2011, 07:58 AM

nice job on plating it as well.

**happynz** · 16-11-2011, 01:43 PM
