Not sure if I've ever had authentic Spanish rice, but I've heard Puerto Ricans rave about their rice and I have to say, it is pretty damn good!

Lol Nope, suppose you don't. Unfortunately, I really am and that same night I was laughing I was paying for that chop suey spice mix. Headaches, dehydration stomach pains. And im better again next day and today after not eating it again. So yea, definitely exists, but it's fun to have a laugh at the madness to help ease it a bit.

But should I mention the part where he waits until after dinner is served to ask if it's also dairy free? Hahaha oh man! I try hard, but i probably did do that once when I was very tired and forgot to look look look. Needless to say, I often order same or similar things every time I eat outside.

Oh man! Enough about that!

Last night/today- made the spicy ground meat dish with dal and brown rice.
Good spice mix and even added some Serrano chilli.

 

Chicken & asparagus soup + spring onions.

 

This Pizza Casserole with Grands Biscuits.

It was awesome. Doubled everything and put bacon, black olives, and mushrooms on it. Make sure it's only one layer across your pan so the biscuits get done. My pan is like 9 x20 or something.

watermelon that was going mushy but not bad, wrapped in foll with chicken poked holes in on the grill.. really kept the chicken moist ..

 

Roast pork. I used the meat to fill simple bread roll with gravy. Crackling was amazeballz.

 

Just scrambled eggs for breakfast, nothing special, but I wanted to show you the yummy local strawberries.




And Tandoori chicken with Marsala rice for dinner. First time I made either and it was so good. Nice and spicy and very flavourful. You marinate the meat overnight. Cooking is pretty quick, broil for 10 to 15 minutes each side.

 

Cheese and onion bakes, vegetarian ravioli and Uncle Ben's Thai rice.

 

deer steaks .. need to make room for fresh deer.

 

that looks good

could you explain a bit more what exactly you did?

 

I can.
So it was a just a shoulder of pork and what I do is I sprinkle salt over it and I leave it for a while usually over night and that salt really dried out the crackle and that's how it get all cooked and crackle while the pork underneath stays really moist and soft.

On pork belly where it is a flat piece of meat instead of round I do the same thing with the salt but I also slice lines every maybe quarter inch so the whole top that will become crackle looks like a grid ### just like that <--

Then when that sits over night with the salt and dries, you get a lot of the flavour from the pork that will weep into the slice marks. You don't want to slice it until you hit the meat, it's just a very fine slit.

But I find it hard to do on the shoulder so all that I did for the photo was salt and oven. And a food filter for the photo lol.

Actually you can still see the line that they wrapped this in, there's 4 strings in that picture. They kind of work the same way as my slicing method so I think they're designed to cut into the skin to produce the flavour as it cook. But I could also be totally making that up too. But it sounds good. =p

Pork is my favourite meat if anyone has noticed lol.

 

Fish with rice, Chinese style curry sauce with green lentils, leeks and peppers.

 

Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken from my son's grill and Spinach from my garden.

 

I smoked a chicken at work. Currently breaking my personal rule and nursing my second tall boy of Fosters.

I wanted to go camping this weekend but it didnt pan out so instead I made a fire in the backyard and roasted brats, made foil packs with squash and stuck a can of baked beans on the fire. It hit the spot!

 

Beer Brats are the fucking bomb! First you boil the brats for 20 minutes in beer, butter, and onions. Then you grill them and carmalize the onions you boiled them with and serve them together on a nice toasted bun.
