Good luck with such a practical request.
Might be easier to guess that they didn't know what they were getting into during the upgrade and can't find their way back.


Lovely.

Well occasionally the simplest plans go astray a bit. Saw a couple of half way decent looking tomatoes in Tesco today. That together with the memory of some soon to be reviewed for expiring sliced ham in the refrigerator caused the idea of toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches for dinner to come into existence. Made two for me and one for the wife (which I knew she would battle the Lab pup for scraps over). Hers went well but one of mine disintegrated on the journey from pan, to cutting board, to plate. And I forgot to add salt and pepper when making them. Still, filled a hole and the wife liked hers. (May try to leverage that later.)

You shouldn't need salt, the ham has enough, I'd reckon, I do agree that tomatoes and pepper are good friends.

Good point. Here it is really salt and water injected. If you go to Foodland you can by real Virginia ham sliced to your liking. Either the fattier regular or a lean one as well. Just a bit more than the processed stuff. Sliced thin and piled high with a nice piece of cheese is nice...

With some pepper salami I got there as well I have some nice lunch sandwiches this week..

We've only got Big C, Tesco and Makro in Nan. I've found no edible ham in Big C or Tesco. The ham I get from Makro is okay but it does not have either strong ham or salt flavours. Overall though it is okay and has an adequate mouth feel. Cannot recall the brand but have a feeling it might be imported. I never eat it on it's own. Generally used chopped in omelettes or for a cream type pasta meal. The wife has endorsed it now for HCT toasted sandwiches for her breakfast or light dinner and even made the bold statement we could use it for the homestay light breakfast instead of thick toast in the cooler months.

Had steak tonight but couldn't help but notice this in Siam Ex-pat with the slogan above it 'The best in Town'
Glad the pie isn't so modest LT like your competitor behind it

Will enjoy that English pastie watching Fiji turn over the Aussies, Saturday lunchtime

How's that long range diet comin' along, Dills?

Ate about 1/3 of this awsome steak. Moderation is the key. And burning more calories than you take in at times. It's tough when miss fish can cook like she does.

Second meal today was a new favourite. Oven baked savoury pork meatballs with homemade coleslaw and some cubed soft salty fetta and chili sauce to give it some excitement. Also made a butter cake to have for desert with ice cream but it did not reach the threshhold where I'm prepared to expose it.

^Nice!.

^^ Bogan, what's the recipe for your balls? Looks like a fair bit of bread in them.

And while we're getting the recipe, how did you cook them?. Looks like you browned them in a pan then baked them?.

There was today CCFSan.

1 kg of pork mince
Large chopped onion
2 eggs
100 grams of bread crumbs
Salt

Today I seasoned with dried thyme, garlic powder, black pepper powder and the dregs from a BBQ sauce bottle and tomato sauce bottle. I put Worcestershire Sauce in the tomato sauce bottle to help get the remnants out so more liquid than usual, hence more breadcrumbs today. Baked at 170 C for 40 minutes then rest a bit.

Quite tasty. Still got five left for tomorrow.

Pro tip - soak the bread crumbs in milk for 10 minutes or so....

They look great.

No browning, straight into the oven HW. BTW, I use the top and bottom element with fan option for these.

^Thanks for that. Have never made meatballs before, but your recipe and method looks easy enough!.

Go heavy on the seasoning. Forgot but I added powered cumin as well today.

Yeah I'm gonna make some meatballs after looking at them.

Maybe with a spicy arrabiata sauce for a bit of kick

Which would make a great meatball sub sandwich.....

Classic, simple, looks very nice.
