Thread: Dinner

I could murder a khao kha moo about now.

One of my favorite Thai meals!

^^ You and me both. That looks so good.

Just walked in on the Mrs grating a cucumber. Can’t see the problem.



I like where this is going though.

All was not as it seemed. See the lunch thread for closure.

A healthy favourite.

For the ratio of healthy:tasty:easy, tiz hard to beat.

^ Are you struggling to make bail, mate?

Butter, garlic prawns (with chilli, goes without saying), rice and

shitloads of cucumber, my youngest favourite food! Even more than ribs! Go figure.

^ That cucumber looks great.

I very rarely cook spaghetti bolognese but when I do it's fantastic and I'd put it up against anyone's.



This was more like tagliatelle bolognese since I can't abide those thin spaghetti noodles. The thicker noodles are cheweyer and just better all round... imho of course...



I could just keep eating this until I explode.



But no... you've gotta stay healthy!

That's fighting talk where I come from!

^^ my daughter would piss her pants with joy with that much cheese on top. She can eat spag boll 7 times a week.

One for Edweena and one for Edith.

There was far less broccoli on mine.



But if you can help me out you've got me bank account.

I swear, half a dozen posters on the forum must have grown up with spaghetti from a can.



With the alphabet in it.

I concur!

Yeah, I was thinking the same.

Coming next week to TD's cooking revelations: melt cheese on toast! It's amazing!

1. not mixing the spaghetti with the sauce (it’s only been said 1000 times)

2. Fookin peas

3. That’s not Parmesan cheese

Agreed!

Bladdy hell... I thought it was pretty good!

And there was a bit of Parmesan mixed in with the Cheddar so I guess that's just two and a half strikes... I'm still hanging in there.

I'm not doubting any of this and I'll definately give it a try next time... but I'm pretty sure that on the rare occasions I've had Spaghetti Bolognese in a restaurant the sauce has been dolloped onto the spaghetti... at least I've never noticed otherwise.

Calling bullshit on this one, fess-up mate it was 100% grated cheddar that's normally reserved for special occasions like putting on top of baked beans wasn't it

Change restaurants then. Here's a menu pic from our favourite local eye-tie joint, no dumping of pasta onto a plate straight out of the water going on there (or anywhere else decent).

And a vid showing the method, skip to 14:20.
