The only fusion i see going on there is less majeste and more inceste

Back in a somewhat cold Samut Prakan, Pattaya bound tomrrow after and interview for a position in Uzbekistan of all places.

Good man.


Good luck.

To be young and free and still have the energy to do such things. Lucky fooker.


10 seconds later I bet that egg yolk was perfectly soaking into everything underneath. One of the foods Thailand got just right.

The Christmas meal took several hours of preparation, on me tod until around midday when the rest of the family finally deigned to get out of bed and join me, and it was pretty damn good.

Very pleased to see that it all worked out and there was a Christmas dinner in the Mendip household. No such luck here. I discovered late in proceedings that all the planning and preparation for her colleagues' work party here had not included anything for me. So it was a raid on the freezer and some beef stew for one. I wasn't best pleased. The second bottle of wine seemed like a good idea at the time. Boxing Day gave it a different perspective.
So I went out and bought one of Makro's finest frozen chooks and I have a plan for tonight's dinner. A chook of modest size that should fit in her old airfryer. We shall see.

It’s TD. I have similar issues.

Before Christmas I treated myself to a tin of Heinz Tomato Soup as I thought it would make a nice treat instead of the Batchelor's Condensed soup that I usually have.

I had half of the tin with a cheese sandwich a few days ago and had been saving the other other half... until the wife brought it up to me today. Sadly she didn't realise that Heinz soup isn't condensed and she'd diluted it with the same amount of water.

This spoilt it slightly and I may now have to get myself another tin for a New Year's treat.

Is that a fettuccine sandwich?

I've never heard of batchelors soup but you can't go wrong with either Heinz or Campbell's condensed. Some decent bread.Butter it. With butter. Not fooking margarine. Just butter/ salted.bld tip #654

Spaghetti bolognese.

You don't see them very often.

Now I see it end-on it looks more like linguine. Whatever, there is a reason why we seldom see a pasta sandwich. Possibly several reasons.

Meanwhile, my dinner has started well. Used the carrot peeler to slice the end of my thumbnail. This has meant delegating certain tasks. Every cloud has a silver lining.

I beg to differ. Are those peas and carrots? That's no bolognese, that is an abomination.

Traditional Bolognese has carrots.

You probably refer to pasta as 'noodles'.

Admittedly the peas were my own, personal slant.

But regardless, it's not a sandwich that dunks well.

Ya and you are a moron for making such a dimwitted assumption.

So it is no longer a Bolognese.

Carrots are part of the mirepoix, which is the basic start of a bolognaise sauce.

Nothing wrong with adding peas to the sauce at the end, it's still a bolognaise sauce.

Nice Mendy nice

To be honest - for a very good reason.

It’s Mendy.

On a laptop, it might be easier to click on Reply With Quote instead, then just delete the text or images you don't need.
