Chilli con Carne tonight - nothing fancy, just steak, bacon, onions, chopped tommytoes, water and home-grown peppers and simmer for 2-3 hours - add kidney beans and a couple of chunks of 70% coco dark chocolate and cook for a further 15 minutes. Approve
What?

This deserves to be in a separate post from my previous one.

Today, I'm doing a bit of Europeanised Indian cuisine. I have thin slices of chicken breast, marinated in Greek yoghurt and Tandoori spices for 8 hours - then baked for 10 minutes (tops) in a 300 degree celcius oven (the 300 is not a typo!).
Served with a curry of tomatoes, onions and chick peas, home made chappatti and a nice, fresh raita of yoghurt, mint and cucumber.

See y'all after dinner. Thumbs%20Up I'll see if I can post a picture of the dish (if, as usual, I don't forget to take one).

I know what you mean - my remark was about dealing with porc in the kitchen. I always get my beef and porc from a local farmer who's animals get a decent life outside before 'nature' takes it's course. I live in the area of the Netherlands where people are right now talking about putting up 3-story high pig factories, from which I will never ever buy one gram of meat.

I'm doing a baked potato soup with some bacon & scallions on top. I think I could eat soup every single day.

Wednesday must've been the night for leftovers because that's what we had--the chicken pot pie from Sunday.

My cioppino came out great:

Saute a mirapois  (onion, celery, carrot), then add diced tomatoes, white wine, fish stock or clam juice (I used the latter), a little dried thyme and oregano.  The fish was clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and cod caught fresh that morning.  Had my in-laws over and just put the pot in the middle of my table (we just got a dining room set Big%20smile)  and served with some fresh Italian bread.  Great meal.

Tonight was 'double filled' vegetable soup with cheese buns, monday is music night so we tend to keep it simple and quick (straight out of work I take my daughter to flute (Ian Anderson type) lessons, then we have dinner, and then I'm off to bass practise).

Is that the thing that I've seen Emeril use? Looks like it's made out of metal or heavy aluminum?

And of course if the company want's to send me some money for the endorsement of some free smokers to hand out as gifts, I'll be thankful and keep it under wraps. :)

Cameron smoker?


No, McGonigle's.Big%20smile  It's a little family owned market about 20 minutes away from the office that sells nothing but the best. It's the only place I buy seafood because it's flown in fresh daily. You go to the local supermarket in our town and you can smell the seafood department a good 4 or 5 aisles away.

Dude, the shelving unit above your TV is bowing so much that it looks like it's grinning. Big%20smile

And I've never traveled abroad, so I've got nothing to compare it to. Maybe I did react a bit too hastily.

Friends, Raff?? Come on, gimme a hug (if it's alright with Micky, of course)! Wink

Dude, it's a collage, that particular thingy is not really above the TV. Tongue
