Thread: Dinner

Not bad.

Not bad at all. :P

Little miss fish came up with a dish.

Spicy noodles and shrimp with tomatoes and such with crushed peanuts on top.
Oh, and the ever sensational miss fish Angus Beef Jerky.

I haven't been posting food pics 'cause for the last few weeks I only eat 1 main meal a day and it's always boring. Dinner tonight is no exception but I'm sick of baked Salmon and replaced it with Cod for a change (which is as close as I'll be getting to F&C in a while).

The bright side is I've dropped about 3.5kg gained over the festive season, when a food and booze binge appeared outta nowhere

^^...french fries spotted peeking out from under the salad...do you make your own tartar sauce?...

So why you still eating the bland stuff?



Followed that with a lovely mango Danish. Funny story really- I had originally picked up a 49 baht walnut Danish, and thought it looked a bit burnt and noticed it was stuck to the foil, so took a little bite out of it then chucked it in with the 29 baht cakes.
As I was queuing up at the till this old Farang stood behind me with a tray with the walnut Danish with the bite out of that is about to double in price for him

Not a French fry, it's a slice of yellow bell-pepper. Not my own Tartar either, that comes from a mates pub who's kitchen staff make it by the gallon.

^So how's your diet going?

Mid afternoon dinners these days, just some fruit between now and bed time.


If you're going to boot the oven up on a hot day, make it worth the effort.


Enough lean meat to last for a few days.


Chicken breast, pork fillet, pumpkin mash, honey carrots, and everyone's favourite: Brussel sprouts

^ you're no Carol Vorderman are you?

I made up a thick BBQ marinade and my wife BBQ'd some pork ribs.

I went for a couple of pints of the local beer,Chinggis Beer- a nice enough beer, certainly better than Leo and Chang imo. The local brewery tour is on the to-do list

Outstanding grilling technique, Dills....

Maybe he was hoping that if the sausages were black they'd be bigger.

Leave his sex life out of it

Some of those Sausages look like missing digits found by CSI in a house fire....

He did say his wife did it. Still looks tasty to me.

Yours are fine on the other end.

Btw...I bought a wok finally. Am going to attempt another strir-fry this afternoon. Wish me luck.

Good luck...only attempt Porridge if its non-stick is my advice.

I'd better avoid porridge...sounds like a lose lose proposition.

I would, it seems to be a breakfast which does not sit well in the marriage setting, blame the Scots - you'll note Jack has not posted any on the Breakfast thread - speaks volumes which i read as its banned in his house for fear it may cause a marriage ending contratemp.

Stir-fry II... Thin sliced chicken breast, carrot sticks, white and red onion, scallions, sliced white button mushrooms, red and green bell pepper, minced fresh ginger and garlic. Stir-fried in batches this time so as not to overcrowd the wok. Used peanut oil and a few drops of sesame seed oil. This pic after all ingredients were combined and my stir-fry sauce added:



Plated on a bed of brown rice:



Very tasty and much better effort at a proper stir-fry...I think. Still have room for improvement though. Next time I'll slice the pieces of chicken breast even smaller and thinner. The veggies were much better this go-around and still had crunch to them. Have to make a point to have mushrooms on hand next time too...they were that extra special touch.

Next shopping trip I need to get some more Asian style spices and other ingredients. There's an Oriental Market right around the corner I'll have to check out.
