I've heard of people 'flouncing' over a lot less than I've been subjected to here...but easier to lay this slander to rest!
We had the other half of my home made pie tonight... steak and kidney... pig kidneys and beef fresh from the local market having never been near a freezer!
It's not easy cooking in our kitchen at times... we had a big storm go through tonight and Dan hates thunder. The commandant was out, so Dan sneaked in the house for comfort. What can ya do...
Yogi is more circumspect... he stays by the door, ready to bolt in case of any unexpected arrivals!
And then we had a power cut... I was far enough in to finish the meal... takes more than this to stop a real cook.
A Frey Bentos for scale... lets put that to rest.
I'm sure they are, but only quality food in this house!
The sprouts and peas had been in a freezer... nothing else to my knowledge. Home made pastry made using 'multi-purpose' flour from Makro and imported marg!
Short crust pastry mate! When my mum taught me how to make pastry, she said there was nothing more gay than using puff pastry for a pie. That's down south anyway, don't know about up north...
But lots of gravy for ya!
So... pie by candlelight. Exciting for the littlun... reminded me of growing up in he UK in the 70s...
And then the lights came back on... caught red handed!
Aah... what does it matter. You shouldn't feed dogs from the table, but Dan's nearly 14... not like she's gonna pick up any bad habits now. A special bowl of pie was made up for Dan!
Everyone sworn to secrecy!
Nice pics mendip!
Were did you buy that extra large Fray Bentos pie from?
Must be a new line, respect
Dogs are part of the family, we always feed ours at the same time.He eats what we eat and his own food.
Went to the seafood market again last night . . . it's simply too good to pass up on.

Scallops - right out of the shell and bbq'd to perfection . . .

^^ Tell him Sid
^Medium rare with roasts equates to being pink in the center or near the bone. Anything past that point with Lamb, you've fucked it
Humm, pink on the inside ... where have I heard that term before
Nah i dont want it rare. Lamb is better than beef for eating well done
I dont have a meat thermometer, no. I toyed with the idea of cooking for 3 hours at 160 then another half at 180.
Gone for 220c for 1 hour and 35 mins.
You just reminded me i forgot to wrap it in foil
^^ The good old days of overcooked meat and soggy veggies
^Nah it has another hour and a bit to go yet. Tge only thing I like medium rare are steaks which are easily done without that gauge.
