Yes I do, it’s partly in my mother’s handwriting but happy to share. I cook the vegetables first, put them aside, cook the chicken and then add the vegetables back in and then the sauce stuff. It’s a weird recipe.
I’ve tweaked it a bit over the years and I simmer it a bit more than she did. I also add more ginger.
Eldest requested his favourite Ginger and Plum Sauce Chicken (or just called “sweet chicken” in our house). Served it with jasmine rice, was pretty tasty.
We could resist no longer 😔
It is, although I bet the birthday boy decides he wants to start his celebration early 😄
Fish and chips because I spent my time doing a Basque Cheesecake
Worst part is it’s for a Tuesday birthday so I have to leave it alone until then 🫣
I made a satay beef curry kind of thing to serve with rice. Was the kids first taste of satay and even the family member who didn’t like peanut buttery things thought it wasn’t bad.
😆It’s a burger joint that got hit with a lawsuit by Kanye West over the name of the business and burgers. The kids and I like the food, it’s fairly consistent.
Someone who does not finish their university studies
Edit: I think it’s more popular as a USA saying. I think it’s about a popular belief that some people who become college dropouts end up being more successful than if they’d stayed at college.
Went out for lunch to the local pub and had grilled salmon and veggies. Was not bad at all. Sorry no pics, I ate it before I thought of taking a photo 😔
Lazy home made burritos with home made guacamole
Thanks for that, not a bad price really.
It’s time my garden had a bit of mulch thrown around, but there’s always disagreement over which type to use. I managed to talk the MIL (it’s her property) out of that plastic imitation mulch stuff. I could not believe she was actually considering it. Usually she gets a piddling little bit of pea straw and sprinkles it around, but it’s not nearly enough to do any good. I’d be interested to hear about other people’s experiences with different types of mulch, what worked and what didn’t, and what they like best.
It’s not cheap, that’s true. The food at this place is consistently delicious and arrives quickly, so I guess it’s like that old saying: there’s good, fast and cheap, and you can choose any two but you can’t have all three.
Chinese takeaway from the local place. Had satay beef noodles and rice
Unfortunately I cheated and used a Pataks jar I got on special 😔but I added a good squirt of sriracha and some fresh mangoes the kids didn’t eat, plus a can of coconut milk to make it go further. It turned out nice, everyone liked it.
Mango chicken curry with jasmine rice
I mash it thoroughly with a generous amount of butter, add milk and salt, whip it vigorously with a fork and then serve. I think it’s tasty and nobody complains lol.
Bangers and mash. Nothing glamorous lol
I used the cheapest plum jam and I think you need a lot because of the sesame oil being such a strong flavour. If you wanted to use less you could maybe reduce some of the vinegar and sesame oil 🤔 I’ve also tried commercial plum sauce instead of jam in the past, and it worked ok, but the kids didn’t like it as much!
