Aye, a little bit. Be kinda glad when everybody goes home the day, and am going to lay aff the drink for a while!

 

 

My lot, well apart from the wife due to the mess, love it when I make Chinese style chicken and prawns in batter. The batter is easy, just make normal batter and add cornflour. Also use a cornflour and flour mix to flour the chicken and prawns before battering them.

 

Found this recipe for almond satay to go with it.

 

1 tbsp each of oil and butter

2 shallots, finely chopped

1½ garlic cloves, finely chopped

60g/2¼oz fresh root ginger, finely grated

300g/10½oz almonds, chopped and toasted

4 tbsp clear honey

5 tbsp chicken stock

5 tbsp soy sauce

1 lime, juice only

1 red chilli, finely chopped

small handful coriander leaves, finely chopped

For the almond satay, melt the butter and oil in a saucepan. Add the shallot and garlic and gently fry until soft, but not coloured. Add the ginger and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the almonds, honey, stock, soy sauce and lime juice. Cook for 2 minutes more or until combined. Remove from the heat, then stir in the chilli and coriander. Set aside.

 

Instead of just almonds I buy one of those almond and cashew mixed packs.

 

Well worth the 20 minutes it takes to make.

So e good food pics a bit too much killing 

 

But all the same all very well presented.

Tastes far Better than the photo looks.  8 hr slow cooked bit of Sirloin cooked with onion , mushrooms, tiny little garlic

Oxo and water just enough to keep it moist.

Then served with fried mushrooms, onions , potato dauphinoise, side veg and a home made Diane gravy.

 

Oops. 

Wow looks good min ..........8 hours! It must have been falling apart, got me thinking I funcie a steak now with a peppercorn sauce, maybe done the more traditional 5 minutes either side wi chips method.

Ok never looked at the bake off , however gave scones a go this afternoon.

The wife thought they were great.

No Rico, bought it from a market in the morning,

 

Wanted to start making ma own Pasta but someone on here or abmad told me it was more hassle than it was worth.

You certainly enjoy your food and well presented it is indeed.

If you've got the time to do it, it's worth it.  Buying fresh pasta is equally as good 

It was me that said it wasn't worth the effort.

 

Of course, being a bunch of northern snobs, they would never eat spaghetti in Bologna.

 

So, you're ragu is more authentic than most.

It's easy, and definitely worth it. You need a roller machine thing like, but I can whack out a good pasta in the same time as dried takes (although it is better if you can leave it for a while before rolling).

Early supper the night,

 

Hamemade beef Madras and butter tikka Chicken, with lemon rice,

 

 

Enough tikka left for the loons after fitba training and maybe a snack to maself!
