Well I'm sure all Christendom will be relieved that I found the satay. Even separated out two portions with baking paper. I've only rediscovered baking paper recently ish. Jeez it helps the clean up.
Tonight is another sort of quickly with smokey pork tacos, a suitable beer, probably something Hoppy like Something Hoppy by Behemoth. Then some Spy Valley saved wot my dear dad gave me yesterday. Very nice
Don't you look at my accountant.

KNIVES OUT. Rian Johnson is good (LOOPER, BRICK plus some Star Wars stuff I havent seen). Go for the whodunnit parlour mystery, stay for the scathing social commentary. Best last shot of a movie I have seen in ages.
went in thinking I would know how it ended.... got it sort of right but not really. 9/10

Fuck that was actually really good. Was using elpaso Supermarket tacos but jeez you wouldn't have known.
The Spy Valley is lovely and quite intoxicating. After several beers
Well theres only a little left.

Lately I've had the cooking blahs. Nothing in the supermarket looks interesting. Social media has come to the rescue, somebody mentioned tacos - I had tacos. Somebody mentioned bangers and mash, so I had that. Then this. I had never used the grill in my oven in the eight years or so since I bought it. Previously if using skewers I'd have used charcoal. Following the above quoted post I had meatballs and veg on skewers. Yesterday I went to the port and bought some fish, last night was fish in butter and wine sauce. This weekend will be steak. The blahs will be back by about Monday.Originally Posted by F5 Dave

quinoa is the wonder ingredient here. Functional equivalency to couscous but way tastier and better for you.

Yes but you'll eat well until then. Season (garlic powder mustard rubbed in and left a while in Worcestershire sauce)and sear the steak up, then add a good dash of white wine and cook in the juices with lid on pan for a while. Then make cuts to see how cooked and brown off at very end. Eye fillet if you can just small portions.
While you at at it mini roasters in oven. Cut potatoes into chunks or wedges or slices or any shape. Microwave for 5 min, drain any liquid. In a bowl cover in , I use rice bran, oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Master foods do Moroccan, but also Roast vegg, garlic and herb or lemon pepper
Throw on baking paper and mid to high temp in oven, say 200C fan. 30 min turn over 1/2 way and keep an eye on them. Must be a bit crispy.
You'll never want deep fried again.
Add salad..and a Nice Sav.
Go easy with Aoli dipping sauce. Still want those suspension settings you work on perfecting to be relevant.
Umm. I'm sitting here full from lunch yet salivating.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Excellent. I'll try that potato method too. I have a Portugese red to try tomorrow. And yes, you have to watch the suspension settings although a little extra weight just makes for a bit more comfort...

To anyone interested I can recommend Dave's potato recipe. I gave it an extra ten minutes 'cause I definitely wanted crunch. As a bonus the Portuguese vinho tinto was good too which is a plus, because I've got five more of them.
Meanwhile back on topic, I just may go and see 'Fisherman's Friends' next week, if sufficiently recovered from the cost of Monday's 'big' service on the bike
'Ford Vs Ferrari' might have got a look in but the blurb is offensive, "Carroll Shelby and his British driver, Ken Miles". There were four drivers involved, the other three were all Kiwis but apparently they aren't worthy of mention.
Somewhat similarly the OZ movie 'Danger Close', about the battle of Long Tan, portrayed Kiwi artillery forward observer Morrie Stanley as an Australian. Fuckem!

So I bought some Silver Fern venison. Did it the same as steak but with cherry tomatoes and red onion. But then some sweetie capsicum.
I did some odd bunch beans and tossed in aoli.
But the the chips! Well I thought I had it down pat. So next level. Cut the potatoes and soak them in water for an hour. Removes starch. Drain and pat with paper towels. Microwave for 2 min and oil and season as before.
Just beterer. Wife was pretty impressed.
Also Barkers plum sauce on venison.
Not a cheap meal. But if I'd ordered Indian it would have been the same or more. This was way better.
Sawmill Pilsner time a few. Tuatara Hazy IPA, highly recommended. Then onto Sav. First Vicars Choice which is Saint Clairs budget brand but you wouldn't know it. Then a bottle of Mudhouse got opened.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Eyes that shine burning red
Cut Agria potatoes into quarters and boil in salted water with a teaspoon of baking sofa until almost falling apart.
Drain and leave to dry on a baking tray.
Add duck fat and bake in oven turning occasionally to coat in the duck fat.
Remove when crispy.
Eat.
Arrive in heaven.
Looking forward to the final Star Wars movie.

Finally saw John Wick 3... yeah nah. They've messed with the formula. No muscle cars. No speeches. No slightly dicey nightclubs, le sigh, shame about that. Lots of faceless bad guys... really faceless and anonymous, even compared the first 2 movies, and thus lots of totally empty fight scenes. There's some interesting forays into stuff I haven't seen anywhere else (how do you win gunfights when the opposition are wearing head to toe bulletproof suits?) but the movie goes badly wrong when they leave New York and never really recovers. Good (excellent) stunts, incredible close quarters fight sequences, a couple of the guys from the Raid movies pop in, but that's about it really. If you're a fan of the first two then it's got to be done, sets up nicely for what's clearly going to be an all-in JW4, but still... for completists and hardboiled fans only.
Maybe I should do some cooking instead, some tasty stuff above.

Well the wind has picked up, maybe a bit too much for a bbq. But I'm stubborn so might go ahead as its fairly sheltered. Actually I'm not stubborn. I just want to try these spare ribs I bought.
Crappy old bbq but have a rack with pumice below the grate above the flame. Fat drops and smokes. I use a roasting pan as a lid to help smoke. Clearly a grill plate provides not char or smoke.
Sweet corn lightly boiled, then rubbed with aoli or sour cream then smoked paprika. Then blacken on bbq. Mexican street corn. Yum.
On the Hazy IPA.

This all sounds very comfortable and relaxing.

If you think JW3 was mediocre, try 6 Underground. A Micheal Bay movie (we got Ryan Renolds, dont need to bother with a script that makes sense or anything. Throw in a few more explosions, that'll do it).
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
