@ Deva

You remember what happened the last time I tried to do Italian with you!

Not that... I just wanted to post her.

No pics, but I did pretty good on the grill tonight with pork chops and asparagus for 15 people. We had two chops left over and they will be diced up tomorrow morning and mixed with some hot salsa to pour over some eggs. Eating at sun up to head over and try to catch dinner for tomorrow. We brought a large amount of burger as back up.

15 people? Strong work!

It's the delicious. Ask any Italian.

Sure is, if you fry it you need to remove excess water with salt and compress it I think

The first new potatoes and a tomato salad with the first basil from the poly tunnel.
After a winter that simply would not go away and the coldest spring in history, that is hard to beat

The tomatoes are Spanish but in a month I'll be eating my own.
14 different varieties, no less.

made a red curry with chicken, eggplant, broccoli. sauce is from a can, Maesri brand. My friend had a thai missus and considers himself quite the curry jedi. He says maesri is the best curry from a can/jar. I'd have to agree it tasted pretty good.

 

[Steve Mack]

Don't think I've tried Maesri, usually Ayam or just make my own.

I usually have to add some chilli to most ready made sauces but not these, best ones I've ever tried.

Local fruit & veg market stocked them for a while but you can find them around, worth a try. http://www.springbokdelights.com.au...outh-african-cook-in-sauce-spicy-durban-curry


Saturday, so seafood pizza. But imported frozen green prawns are banned so had to use a marinara mix.

 

[FireFighterZero]

The curry looks good, but tastes good? I have to wonder.


I cooked a pork loin on the grill last night. Did a rub on it, and cooked it slow. Dressed with sauce at the last ten minutes.

It turned out pretty well. Cheap too.


Boiled brocoli and a lettuce salad. Wife made REAL Roquefort dressing. Heavenly!

I had some left over sautéed lemon pepper chicken breasts so I made a salad of mixed lettuces, cucumber, shoe string carrots, red bell pepper, green onion and warmed up chicken with ranch dressing. Twas yummy.

I often add Chinese chili paste to my curry. Seems to set it off, with fresh ginger of course

 

[Chris E]

I love a good salad with some protein, nice light summer meals. Steve I have an almost identical bag of sauce sitting around but its expired so I might try to to pick up another one. I'd say the Maesri trumps the Ayam but making one from scratch must be the real deal- I've never done curry from scratch.

 

[FireFighterZero]

How far expired?

Indian food is known to cause the shits anyway, why not use it up?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Bourbon Chicken with rice from the local oriental place. Mighty tasty!

 

[Chris E]

Jim its expired oct 2016 so its not that off, I recently ate some off left overs and it really messed me up the day after

I was sitting down to dinner and thought of Butch and his dislike for small plates. I use this 12 inch deep dish skillet whenever the opportunity allows. It holds enough to make a meal.

 

[MasterBlaster]

NO Tiny Plates!

Hell yea it does!

I like that long fork!

New burger place in town opened about a mile away last month, called Culver's. Been there a couple times. Stopped in tonight for a quick easy dinner since Chic-Fil-A is closed on Sundays.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Folks came down for dinner. Father in law is here too of course.

Had a store bought lasagna, salad with home made Roquefort dressing, and my favorite thing of all. Warm French bread.

Take a loaf of French bread, slice it up but not all the way through, butter between each slice, wrap in foil and warm in oven.

My favorite treat.

 

[treebilly]

Mmmmmm.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Food...

Why is it so galldanged good???

 

[FireFighterZero]

The wife made brocolli beef and noodles from scratch tonight.

It was damn good, but almost a disaster.

Some one threw away, actually threw away my bottle of Sriracha.

I was in a panic, I cant eat stuff like that without turning it red first with Sriracha.

Luckily, I remembered I had a jar of hot chili paste in the basement cupboard. That saved it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You survived!!!

 

[Chris E]

had some good chinese last night including deep fried squid with chilli, squid tentacles are tasty as!

I might hit up some Siracha I'm forever reading about it but not sure if I've tried it...

 

[DMc]

This is our version of a chili dish.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Looks, good.....but for the life of me I cant identify most of that.

Where is the meat?

What are the two tone sprouts on top?

 

[SkwerI]

Ale House burger with bacon, mushrooms and provolone. Seasoned fries and iced tea to drink.
