I overdid it RM. It was nearly as much as a 15 piece feed from KFC1?

In lockdown. Can't prospect. At least we can still cook and eat.
Put on a few extra kilos while we are at it.

This chook tonight was about 2.2 kg. Rather large. I like them about the 1.8kg mark so then there is less to eat.

Anyway happy dinner everyone.

The bigger the chook, the bigger the parsons nose, yummeeeeeeee!

I like it especially crispy.. erfect:

Pork rib casper

Satay Beef and Potato Bake

Just finished up my beef broth soup.
Simmered the bones for about 18 hours. Strained off this morning, added carrots,potato and celery as well as whatever meat bits there were.

It is soup season and I like my soup. The health nuts swear by this but I just eat it because I like it. I remember my mum making different variations of this growing up and it has stayed with me.

Drunken snack... Korean sticky wings

Oh yeah!!

How to make burgers.

Start with decent steak and mince it yourself.

Season simply and cook on charcoal.

Wash down with a good old fashioned beer rather than craft nonsense.

Great looking burger Dr.
Love the fat ratio and the fact you minced it yourself.
Nothing beats a good burger.

And who doesn't like a good lasagne.
So proud of my youngest making these. The one on the left was made by her. Made the dough and used the attachment on the Kenwood to roll it.
Hasn't been used since her mum passed quite a few years ago.
The other one was made using the store bought sheets.
All good.

Lookin like you had two slices there Hard Luck.

I only had a small slice silver. I'm still full from my lunch I had at about 1 this arvo.

Decided to try the new Megajack burger from Hungry Jacks. It's a knockoff of the Big Mac. Not very good.
But the burger alone without the chips and drink has 4722 kj.

Never again.

Nothing special. Hopefully a bit nutritious.

Some lamb , peas and corn and a cabbage salad for dinner tonight.

I really need to get a new grill plate for my q.

Doing a rolled leg of pork in the kamado rotisserie today.

Early on



Later on. The crackle is starting to bubble up.



Link to a 10 second vid. Turn up the sound and listen to the sizzling.

I have never been able to tell when the crackling is just right. It is just undercooked or like rock.
Great job -well done.

That looks fn good hardluck

Nice little 1.2 kg T-bone reverse seared and finished over charcoal. Served with anchovy butter, a salad and a few bits of home made sourdough toasted over the coals. Mrs Duck eats the eye fillet side, and I get the sirloin.

A friend gave me some Tasmanian truffle, so I made a classic pasta alla Gricia with truffle. Very simple, guanciale (cured pig cheek - more fat than meat but just delicious) and pasta with a sauce of the pasta water, fat from the guanciale and pecarino cheese. Kind of the ancestor of macaroni cheese, except with a generous amount of truffle to finish. Very simple but depends on the quality of the ingredients to make an outstanding dish.

Just delicious, and I'm looking forward to scrambled eggs for breakfast.
