Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Absolutely nothing wrong with praising your own cooking BTS. I do it all the time. Even to myself as I'm eating it.

Last night I made myself some satay chicken kebabs. All I did was marinate some chicken in a satay sauce out of a jar for a couple of hours, stick it on some metal skewers, and put under a grill. I had it with some microwaved pilau rice and some humus and flat bread. I was sitting there eating it and smiling like a Cheshire cat at my culinary perfection when I might as well have put some chicken ding in the microwave. lol

As I said I'm doing a Thai red curry tonight, but again I'll be using a pre-made Thai red curry paste. I do add a few things like Kafir lime leaves, lemon grass, palm sugar, Thai fish sauce, lime juice, and hot fresh red chillies to it (and my secret ingredient, a splash of soy sauce) but it isn't proper cooking like when I cook a curry or chilly from scratch. I put more effort into making an omelette. lol

I have the Thai curry with Thai jasmine rice that I barely wash before cooking so it stays nice and sticky. I put this in a soup bowl and pour over the curry so the rice soaks up all the juices. I normally eat it with a spoon. It's absolutely delicious. There I go again. Nothing like blowing your own trumpet eh BTS.?

Anyway, I'm off to make myself a nice G&T now. You'd probably think I was already on it after reading that.

Sounds delicious mate. I do love Thai food. I'm now hungry after reading that.

Enjoy!

I need a recommendation for something new to try when I get my shopping.

I've had the Fry's creams(only original though as a certain @Armaghtoffee kept the orange ones a secret lol ) and had garibaldi for first time in years, so does anyone have any ideas.

You can't buy spangles anymore though, probably a good thing lol

To be fair, Orange is my county colour so only to be expected that I would be all over the Fry’s offering ?.

We just talking sweet stuff here or is it open to all ideas?

I'm open to anything, as long as it's not too expensive

Have you ever tried foie gras? lol

 

[Terrarian]

Have you ever tried foie gras? lol

No and I wouldn't, it's disgusting how they make it lol should be banned.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Nicest new thing I have tried recently.

I know mate. Not my finest moment but it is so delicious.

I probably haven't had it for about 10 years. You don't see it about much because it is so expensive. Probably just as well because, as you say, it's barbaric what they do to the geese. I'll have Jazzy sticking me on ignore.

Hummus, not had that for a while, never know what to have it with. Lot's of different flavours these days isn't there. I'll think on that one.

Bloody hell mate. That's got some use by date on it for humus. lol

I've had that before and it is very nice. Last night I had a Morrocan spiced humus from Asda which was also very good.

Speaking of jazzy, is he still on holiday?

You need some sort of flat bread or pita to eat it with. I normally have it as a side with a chicken, lamb or pork kebab and some pilau rice.

Oh right as a dip then. Might get some kebabs and give it a try. last time I had it, I think I just ate it with my fingers and threw half away lol

Yeah. He's been away away a week and has another week to go. Not that I'm keeping tabs on him. That's Anj's job.

Crusty bread for me, can’t go wrong ?
