Change of plans, fortunately. Parents came home so i cooked up some venison meatballs in a tomato and basil sauce with some rather nice pennoni rigate. Tasty tasty tasty!

I don't get you man. You're an enigma you eat sage n onion for dinner and venison meatballs for tea lol. Looks nice mate
Nah' all makes sense really. If I cook for the family then I don't pay for ingredients. Parents came back from Yorkshire early so I used rent money to buy ingredients. Otherwise it would indeed have been ramen dinner.

Can never say no to fajitas! I make a mean dry rub "Cajun" and cheese chicken fajita if I do say so myself. Having made em in a while but used to get people walking for 5 miles for fajita Friday :-)

Tonight was very simple. Baked salmon with new potatoes roasted with garlic and rosemary, a side of brocolli, and a nice glass of white wine from the local french wine merchant. No complaints :-)

Out to dinner with the folk tomorrow at a fancy fish resteraunt. Stoked. Will make sure to take my camera. I won't pay to eat out unless its BBQ or fish.

I haven't posted here in a while but I want to get in with some food pics.Photo05151732.jpgbefore:lol:Photo05151737.jpgafter:(
I want to say ive been making a really simple recipe for some deliciously delicious gringo style carne guisada tacos.
Recipe as follows:
2-3 lb cut of beef(roast style)
1pk of powdered Hidden Valley ranch dressing
1pk of powdered Pioneer au-jus gravy
4 pickled peppercinis(banana peppers)
1/2 cup of hot water

Now you can cook this in a crockpot or in the stove,with potatos and vegtables like a roast or like mebongsmiliePre-heat your oven to 250°f.I use a Dutch oven or my iron skillet,because I like to sear the meat first.
After I sear/brown the meat,I turn the flame off,then mix the two powdered mixes slighlty in a bowl.Then slice the 4 peppers in half and put them on top of the meat.Then pour the powdered mix over it and pour the hot water over that.Put a lid on it,put it in the oven for 6hrs.Simple?



We have ours with fried corn tortillas,pico de gallo,cheese,homemade salsa.Im sure you can dress'em up however ya'll like though:)Let me know what you think if you make it

Had to cancel dinner out, partly because the kitty ended up in the vets with something in her throat, and partly because we found out it would cost near £200 for 3 of us if we fancied having a few glasses of wine each to go with it. So for the price of 1 main course at the restaurant, i cooked up 3 starters and 3 mains at home isntead :)

Seared tuna with avacado, lime, garlic, and ginger

And for mains, sea bass roasted with chorizo, olives, cherry tomatoes and red onion, and a side of samphire fried up in butter :)

If you can find it, buy it. Most amazing greenery. Love throwing it into salads raw. Lovely salty crunchy goodness. I don't eat veg unless i have to, but samphire and young peas in the pod, those are two things i could live on :)

prob go to one of the fancier grocery stores here and have it, and pay an arm and a leg hehehe
Don't look in grocery stores, look in your local fish mongers. No grocery store around here sells it, it's always on the slab at at the fish mongers counter. It's a sea marsh grass, so don't know if you'll find it unless in a suitable area. And looking it up, yes, it is sea asparagus.
