I certainly think so too, some would disagree. But if you went to any good steakhouse anywhere in the world and asked for the steak to be cooked to the Chefs recommendation to bring out the best flavour and tenderness, it would come out of the kitchen within a few degrees of what's pictured. It's actually a tiny bit underdone to what I normally cook, but better to be under than over.

We have a consensus here.

^^^^Looks about right

Cottage pie in Miss Lusty's tiny hobbit house

This is the woolworths 1.2Kg one that can easily be demolished in 1 sitting

Annoying that Coles have discontinued their monster 2Kg job that required at least 2 sessions

A pre made dinner? Would be a worthy addition for the blokes cooking thread!

Quick n easy weekend beer n movie short-ribs

Look good but quick?

^^Why do your pics always look so dark? Not that I'm any sort of a food photographer (irrefutable proof below) but those ribs and protruding bones could not have been that colour!

Anyway, some terrible pics of some nice food last night.

They absolutely were. We do 'em with BBQ and honey, which caramelises. Outside caramelised, inside juicy and tender fall off the bone-io.

Tonight, Pad Krapow...

I trust that was a lava egg about to splurt its ejectulate all over the rice.

A great Thai dish, particularly with an icy one (one of the few Thai dishes I actually eat). Prefer all the ingredients minced though.

^^Looks like a proper boss nosh Willy

^^^^Champion authentic looking eye-tye pizza HW

Miss Lusty does have the curiously blokish habit of leaving the toilet seat up after she goes. If we were not already intimately acquainted it would be a red flag. But it seems she is just being accommodating of her male house guest (or paranoid about splashes on her seat)

Blokes cooking, toilet seat up…

Maybe she is the 3rd gender?

A Xmas warm up, or Thanksgiving as you Yanks call it

I do miss the Malaysian food courts - excellent food at a good price, best food in Asia (with Singapore)

That looks very, very good

You fat bastard!

Was that one of those all you can eat cavery's?

^ And that was his seconds!

It's been all about lamb at the Mendip household the last couple of days.

Braised lamb shank, Mediterranean style.



Just the job to settle down to a Christmas film with... a Green if you can guess which one?



Dan liked what she saw!



And of course, the money shot.



As it's Christmas...



And it's cold enough at night in Isaan to almost feel like the real thing. Nothing like a Winter pudding!



As I'm sure that a couple have noticed, these were big meals for a dieting father and 10 year-old daughter. You have no choice about the size of a lamb shank, but tonight was lamb rissoles from the extensive leftovers.

With of course, my signature mushy pea fritter cake. You won't find this in any Isaan restaurants.



Lovely!



The money shot!

she's probably worried about breaking it when she stands on it.

^^ Mendip are you teaching her to cook? i ask because i have noticed a trend in some family members in Thailand where there are teenagers and older who can't even fry an egg. My mum had me cooking stuff at 5 and its one of the best things she did with me.

Mushy pea fritter cake you say?

Put gravy with that and either me or Joe might be PMing you a marriage proposal!

Money's on Joe though; I've heard he's got balls like watermelons at the moment.

I'd love to hear the conversation between the two when she's comparing the stuff she eats with dad and the stuff she eats with mum.

Coincidentally I had a lamb shank tonight. Darn tasty but I forgot the picture.

I'm introducing her to the basics mate but she soon loses interest after the fun jobs are done. There's a big pie day coming up and I'll probably be on my own before trimming the second kidney.

I deliberately avoided any gravy because I knew this would happen again.

Please don't take this the wrong way mate but my 'personal' life is fractured enough at the moment without adding some northern gay triangle to the equation. Why don't I just send you the recipe?


And the movie wasn't 'Dave236 Does Dallas', as someone has suggested.

It was 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', which I thought was pretty shite to be honest.

Always the way where gravy is concerned. You know what it does to folk.

Leave my gonrads out of the dinner thread.

I've never been happier with my stress free single life.
In fact I might celebrate it tonight with a lamb shank
