Thread: Dinner

Lidl sells those golf ball shaped chinese garlic bulbs.
I'd end up using a whole bulb and still couldn't get any proper garlic flavour



Wold garlic grows around Cornwall, and you soon know it's close by cos the aroma is so strong. Downside is the cloves are tiny!

Baked cod with peri peri & chilli dry rub, prawns, yesterdays rice fried with peppers, spring onion & slight dash of maggi sauce

Been down sick with a cold the last few days. Had to stay home to watch the Superbowl. But the lady made me a nice treat. Flautas with beans and rice;

^^Love it mate, I love all things beans...
I nearly used a can of mixed beans tonight but opted for the lentils. Braised chicken & lentil with spices & mash
Ended up a bit too spicy, and I ate a bit too much of it too quickly. I'm sitting here still bloated 5hrs later with my top button undone on my pants

Jesus Christ Pat I know you are on posting tear but posting up puke?

This thread needs a kick-start again, so often in the past once a few guys start posting pics others follow suit soooooo....

A rack of Hickory Butchers ribs. For those that live in or near Pattaya/Jomtien, try them sometime because they're the BOMB!.

And being way too lazy today to get into the usual rib sides, I just skinned a few and put the meat on some lovely fresh wholewheat bread with coleslaw. Nothing fancy, but it never is in this household.

I know it sounds pedestrian, but is that the new super thick and big wheat bread from Farmhouse? I made a "Dagwood" the other Sunday after a trip to Foodland. 3 meats and 2 cheeses, plus all the veggies. I was impressed. Not the greatest in taste but fine, hearty and could hold it all and not fall apart... Cheers.

Pattaya has a much better food scene than BKK all around. Its not even close. Other than hoity toity high end "cuisine". I prefer what you just cooked. Simple and satisfying.

Nothing fancy for me today.

^ Aluminium spoon?


Still, better than stealing off Thai Airways, I suppose.

I will post some dinner pic's up when we can afford to buy a new dinner service.

Bellisimo

^Looks good where did you order that from.

Scoozi- it's a half half Mixed meat/ vessuvio

Well, it was

The bread/dough looks perfect (for me).

Good call AO, it was indeed the new Farmhouse bread. I really like it, and normally buy the multi grain but Foodland had sold out already yesterday. Mrs Worx likes it too and has one slice for breakfast most mornings but in a slightly strange fashion. She makes a mug of coffee and rests the bread on the top of it so the steam (and flavour) rises into it. Never seen a Thai do this before and I've had breakfast with more than a few local girls over the years

Must agree with you. There's no beating the Bangkok scene for high-end dining, the major problem being getting to them then trying to find somewhere to park!. But for mid-tier restos, there'd be literally hundreds of them (and more opening weekly) in Pattaya that you can drive to in 10-30 minutes. How the hell they survive with such small mark-ups and against such a saturated competition is beyond me, but the consumer is the winner because if they aren't churning out good meals at competitive prices their life expectancy is short.

Agree about Pattaya; would be nice if the Pig and Whistle opened up in Bangkok. Below my condo

That Patak is positively bristling with the sweet stuff.

I'm not sure you're taking this diet seriously enough, Pat.

I like Pat coming back to this thread because it makes my terrible efforts appear somehow passable...

Mine too. U wouldn't swap a woman for Pat would ya? Not even the cleaner

For a split second, I considered a swap with the MiL, even a swap with SirSlaps' MiL, then decided against the idea...

Friday, one of my fav meals of the week:

Well, at least you've got a decent plate!!

What's wrong with me Fri din-dins??
