Thread: Dinner

last night..we don't do heavy meals at night any more...just light stuff...

^ Nice work.

I could get used to that although I have given up on evening meals since I started working split shifts four months ago. Breakfast is my holiest of holy with lunch pretty damned important as well.

So I went to my fav BBQ place last night. Smoked brisket, spare ribs, shoestring fries, and mac and cheese...



Found a slice of house made smoked bacon under all that brisket.

Nice stuff snubs. I'm hungry now. Had a few quail eggs out of her last pot, Now I need some real food. Thanks.

I know what is. That bamboo soup. I'm snatching those quail eggs right out.
Ok, only three. Two out of three ain't bad.

That there is Texas BBQ (although it's usually without the mac n cheese when I'm in Dallas). Low and slow in Texas is the way and the meats are always fucking fine.

Love the stuff.

This is in Washington state but the pit master cooks it Texas style. I have been to Texas on a few occasion and this place holds up to what I have had down there. The only place I go here for BBQ.

That is for ONE FUCKING PERSON?
Jesus H Christ.
Enough food on that platter for a Euro family of 4.
Obesity, unhealthy, greed and America all in one sentence.
Looks good though...........

I always check the fish area in Makro for bargains, and yesterday they had tuna for 89 Baht.

So, baked lemon tuna it was!



Must admit I'm starting to get a bit despondent with my cooking. My expectations are low, but nevertheless, it would be nice for my daughter not to roll her eyes for once.

When we used to catch tuna in West Africa, the cook would make baked lemon tuna and it was great - all succulent and juicy. Mine came out a bit dry and needed a dollop of mayonnaise.



I was going to try Headworx's recipe for spinach, but we had no coconut milk and I realised I don't actually know what sauteed onions are... so next time. We made do with boiled spinach and a knob of butter!

Dessert was Christmas doughnuts with coconut ice cream and bits of chocolate. The daughter approved.

You really are British Mendid. May work in the North Sea, and live in Isaan but a Brit through and through..

Finally got a bite. Wild cod and Patagonian shrimp. A piece of pork roast and a spud.
Hard work pays.

Damn fine last meal that snubs.

^^^^ I will take whatever praise I can get, though unfortunately the daughter was lead cook for the desserts!

^^^ I am taking that as the compliment I am sure was intended!

When the chips are down.

Glad to hear that. I looked at your pic in horror - I would not be able to make a dent in that in one sitting....spread out over 3 or 4 days - maybe...

Ya now way. I still have more brisket left after two dinners but the ribs are gone though.

I could eat that in one go, easy.

Dilly, well, that'd be the first starter...

Good grief. To be honest, I feel full just looking at that picture.

If you're ever in Dallas, people rave about Pecan Lodge downtown, but I've been to this one a couple of times in North Dallas and it was fucking phenomemnomenomenomenomenal. Think I stuck some pics up a while ago.

I've never seen a grill like it and they've got about 40 beers on tap. Just drink and eat until you fall off your stool.
