Photo of your dinner (vol 2)

2 more days before I can rejoin this thread... been living in a hotel for 3 weeks, dying to get back into kitchen to cook, especially with all the great produce out here.

Calibrax has put a big joint up which looks fantastic but you know with that you have to have people around and talk rubbish.

Cotty puts up a meal where it's just you and Friday night, the special video, er, and the fridge full of beers. I can just imagine some pots of curry sauce and gravy off camera and the realisation half way through the night that there might be a viennetta in the freezer that someone had forgotten about that you can eat all in one go without anyone knowing. Always the best way to eat a viennetta

[escargot]

Ahhh a solo vienetta and an evening of continuous grot.


Stuff of dreams.

Nope. Just me. I have a nice roast beef dinner, most of the rest gets sliced up and frozen in gravy for future meals, and some is kept in the fridge for sandwiches.

It was so good!

Tomorrow I will attempt to make burgers with the cheese inside the patty!

I'm very much looking forward to Sunday lunch today! Covered this rib roast in salt & pepper on Friday night and left it uncovered in the fridge. It's now out and coming to room temperature prior to roasting.

And the finished article...

i always ruin beef roast. cooking instructions please.

The in laws have just left a pork loin in my freezer. Any interesting suggestions beyond a roast dinner?

We've had 2 of those in the last 6 days!

I usually just cover in salt & pepper and leave in the fridge overnight uncovered. Next day I put it in the oven (set at 230c) until it's nicely browned, then turn it down to about 180c until the internal temp of the joint reaches about 57c.

A few key rules to follow...

1) Always allow the joint to come to room temperature before cooking.
2) Always use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked to perfection.
3) Always allow the joint to rest for at least 20 mins before carving.

Get yourself a meat thermometer and cook by internal temp

Still not sure about chips with curry

[sc0tt]

Minced beef, salt and pepper. Nothing else. Best burger I've had in a while to be honest.

What bit you not sure about? Curry and chips? Natural pairing. I can see where you went wrong though. Far too many vegetables in that picture. No visible meat.

And WTF? You on kids portions or something?

Edit: And not "real" chips

If you have ever lived in Cardiff curry comes with half'n'half. Yes. Half rice, half chips. As standard. I sometimes really miss living there...

Sticky sweet short ribs with Asian style pickled slaw.

[Blown2CV]

Very nice looking ribs! Were you going from a recipe you'd like to share?

[Pferdestarke]

Excellent plate.

We went to Koinonia in Newark last night and had their thali.

^^^ It looks a lot better than most of the takeaway thread 'entries'. Good effort!
