Not nearly enough gravy on there. Next thing you'll be ordering saveloys and wearing winklepickers.

I'd also serve the durian...in the bin. Where it belongs.

My house stinks of durian at the moment.

...ftfy...

those Tacos look good!

why only one little piece of durian?

Fancy a nap

^ Looks nice. How did you do that steak... in a skillet?

What do you reckon about those crinkle cut chips... I just don't see the point. I always go for the big 10 to 20mm normal cut chips.

Everything else being equal I go for normal cut, but often one or the other will be on promotion.
Purchase based on price

This is going to drive you crazy...




Like that but better Koenig, cast iron Lazada

^ Oh well, it's too late now!

I've got a ribbed pan at home but I always like a fried egg on a steak. Try scraping a fried egg off one of these pans... it ain't easy.

I made a couple of quiches today... one for the freezer, one for tonight.



I seemed to have done a few more peas than necessary.



Delicious!



And pudding... vanilla choc chip for the littlun, mint choc chip for me. And a bowl of longan to make it healthy!



This ice cream tasted just like a mint aero and was superb. It brought back memories of mint custard and chocolate sponge cake for school dinners.

Here you go , Frying steak , baby potatoes an mediterranean mixed veg



From Lidl

^ I would have loved some new potatoes like that with my quiche!

First Yorkie in some time...
Then ended up at a bar for some cheese and nibbles, dinner was a backwards affair tonight

Breakfast tomorrow will be a miserable hangover, oh well.

A tasty page of food everyone!

EH?

What is that? sounds evil.

Forgot to put these up last night. Bacon wrapped meatloaf, old comfort food, mash, onion gravy and some sweet corn kernels. Yummy.

^^Assuming he's used the broccoli cooking water as the liquid to make the gravy, but don't think there's be much flavour in it like there would be in pan juices?

^Fuck! Yes please!

Seems odd putting gravy on a ribeye.

Never in my book.

Certainly never 'drenched', although he probably just doesn't know what that means.

It's a tough question with no one correct answer. There's a reason so many steakhouses offer the typical range of sauces/gravies with their steaks (Diane, Peppercorn, Mushroom, etc) but TC stipulated good steak which IMO really needs nothing more than to be nicely seasoned with S&P and have its resting juices poured back over it.

But, I like things like Mushroom gravy a lot and it goes so well with a good steak
