Dinner

**Headworx** · 27-11-2013, 03:15 PM

Right then, it's once-a-week-junk-food time again and after last weeks abysmal fuck-up trying to make Fajitas, it was time to set things straight with a Works Burger. This just had to work

.

The burger pattie is NZ ground lamb. Noticed them for the first time last week in Villa. VERY glad I did, they are business.

Assembly of the base. Lettuce, tomatoe, onion, and beetroot on a sesame seed bun. Meanwhile the Lamb patties and bacon were sharing their juices in the same skillet. What a great smell!.

BBQ sauce, Lamb patty, upper and lower cheese, bacon, and an egg added.

Top view.

The only things that *might* be missing according to some Works Burger purists is cucumber and a pineapple ring, both of which I have at home but aren't a big fan of either on burgers. It looked like a triple axe murder went down, a shower and fresh change of clothes were needed, but this was well worth it.

HW. Looks good but, with my teef it would have to be rindless bacon.
You should be making your own beetroot!

Sounds and looks like a good deal.

So with some imported ribeye in the fridge anyway, just a few ingredients needed to be bought and a quick supermarket trip was made.

Probably not everything that should go into a proper Fajita, no guacamole for a start due to their not being any available where I shopped today and in hindsight, I should have used a few Jalapenos that were in the fridge anyway. But it'd have to do.

Fail!. The salsa wasn't hot enough to make them anything like the ones I get delivered and in the end they just tasted more like some sort of a take on a steak sandwich. Won't be trying to fix this next time 'cause there won't be a next time. Too much dicking around and prep time for not much of a return making these from scratch for me. Very ordinary dinner, the best part was having some cold slices of mango for desert.

ACCK!! Never use a cut like ribeye for fajitas. Just throw those lovelies on the grill with some salt and pepper. You should use flank steak (the local beef is fine for this) and marinade it overnight or two days. Also your cuts of meat are too thick. You should cut the meat into one in thick pieces not more then three inches long.

Marinade should be something like this;

1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup tequila
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1⁄2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
2 diced jalapeno or substitute a habanero.

Mexican food is not about prime cuts of beef it is about marinades and spices. Try it again and you will be happier.

Got a present from my 'Hurdy Gurdy' brother-in-law, useless coont forgot to bring me the cheese, said he left it in the fridge in Hurdy Gurdy land!

My Thai mate always comes up trumps...

So, with the BIL's Rioja opened, it was taste time...

Great for making gravy!

**toslti** · 09-12-2013, 03:27 PM

what was that Kookaburra like? just noticed it in the local Family Mart.

**charleyboy** · 09-12-2013, 04:01 PM

^ Haven't opened it yet as I've got a couple of cases of Mont Clair to get through!
I've not touched a beer for 29 days and don't intend to again, unless it's 'real' beer.

I'm having two or three days off per week and drinking a couple of glasses filled with soda.

My Thai mate gave me the Kookaburra.

Let us know when you get to the Kookaburra please....

I've noticed that no fooker appears to be eating anymore, too busy building houses!

Anyway, I decided to make a cottage pie, couldn't wait for it to 'brown' as I was Hank Marvin!

Best Macro beef mince...Delicious.

My youngest when asked what he wanted for dinner tonight said 'not Thai', so I got him to help me make pizza.

He scooped out the seeds and slops from the tomatoes I used to make the sauce. The tomatoes were poached in their own juices for about 15 mins along with a bit of garlic, jalapeño chillies and oregano. When soft, the skins were removed through a sieve and it was put back on the heat to thicken.

On the left we have chicken, bacon and mushroom, with a further smattering of finely chopped jalapeño on most of it. On the right is Cumberland sausage & mushroom.

The scores were:

Me - 4 slides
Oldest boy - 4 slices
Youngest boy - 3 slices
Midget - 3 slices

2 slices for breakfast for whoever gets up first.

A resounding success.

**Bettyboo** · 22-12-2013, 09:10 PM

Couldn't you dress it up a little, Marmite - feed the senses a bit... At least put it in a cardboard box.

Leave it be..
He did a spectacular job!

Clearly, the best pizzas are homemade.....less, the crappy commercial variety that are encased in a fucking cardboard container.

Give this a try.

Score a cross into the tomato with a serrated blade.

Drop them into boiling water for about 15-20 secs. You'll see the skin start to come off.

Then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool off and stop them cooking.

Then you can peel easily, chop and de-seed.

**Marmite the Dog** · 22-12-2013, 11:35 PM

^ Nah - that's all backwards.

Just pass the mush through a sieve and you don't need to peel anything.

My lad told me I was the best cook this evening. I was waiting for the Midget to say that I could cook everyday, but she's maybe a little bit nicer than me?

**nigelandjan** · 23-12-2013, 05:57 AM

Good effort on the homemade pizza Marmite, all though I would like to see you take a lie detector test and then edit the slice count before I send the green

**nigelandjan** · 23-12-2013, 06:00 AM

Just for Charlie, just to show I'm not starving whilst constructing.

Last night's delicious liver and onions and roast tatties, total cost 45bht including gas yum yum

**nigelandjan** · 23-12-2013, 06:04 AM
