Cooking!

[kanet666]

Having the remains of the enchiladas I made the other day, much easier than I expected it to be, the tortillas took 20 minutes to make and the rest not much beyond that. Tastes pretty damn good too.

Well that was rather splendid.
I buggered up the mash slightly by undercooking the potatoes and putting a little too much pepper in, but overall I'm happy.
I am also rather full.

Dunno if you already did, but when boiling potatos to make mash, chop them up into quarters (or slices if you have a sharp enough knife) as it'll decrease cooking time.

If you don't mind the washing, the shredder attachment on a food processor makes it even faster. And easier to mash.

Well, Papa John's, that was damn quick.

Oh wait, "cooking"

[Gandalf the Red]

I think I watch far too much Dave.

I can't justify the tenner I just spent but they keep giving me bloody discount codes. Clearly I need to exercise more self-discipline.

I made my own guacamole to go with tea when I got in this evening - lovely and fresh and healthy. Have recently managed to throw together successful lentil/spinach curry, spicy potatoes etc too. Yum yum.

I made the best chilli I've ever made tonight. It seems it's so good it's becoming addictive

Was stuffed after the first portion, I've now had 3 helpings cause it's so damn tasty ha.

Just cooked steamed barramundi with fresh garlic, ginger and spring onions, served with "asian salad" and dressed with oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds and fried shallots.

Fuck yes.

Home made guacamole is much better than the stuff you get in jars.

(You could say the same about a lot of foods but I've particularly noticed it with guacamole)

Fresh avocado >>>>> store bought guacamole. Had a burger yesterday that was topped with bacon, a ring of pineapple and fresh avocado. Holy fucking shit.

Avocado is the food of the gods!

I do cock-all cooking because I'm rubbish at it.

Baking a load of gingerbread this week for hallowe'en though, bat-shape cookie cutters at the ready!

Random experiment. Fried together crushed chilli, garlic, lime juice and fish sauce, stirred through some spring onions and celery. Then mixed in a (chopped up) chicken breast.

Pretty awesome, though way too much garlic (too much fried garlic just isn't right, started to overcook and clump together), needed more spring onion but most disasterously I forgot to add coriander.

6/10. Lessons learnt.

Sweet potato and chorizo soup the other day, absolutely glorious and made enough for about 6 people.
