Yep... I was a bit taken aback by that price.

Tried all the usual shops, next time its chinatown and hope they have it at a more reasonable price... wonder if if wasabi can be used?

At that price I'd go wasabi! In fact I bet it would be pretty good.

I threw out a load of horseradish root the other day, got given a pile and ran out of things to do with it. Might get a bit more and try your salmon idea.

apparently it's very easily cultivated, just need to plant a chunk of root. The downside is that it then takes over your garden and fks everything else. Probably why you got given a load!!

Had the in-laws round for New Year's Day, so thought I'd better make an effort! Lol

Tried a light starter to avoid filling everyone up!

Avocado on toast with roasted tomatoes and cayenne pepper, was lovely, light and tasty



Main was 3 rib of beef from my local butcher, lovely piece of beef.

Started by rubbing it in djion mustard, then a mixture of chopped fresh thyme, salt and pepper and garlic, roasted at 240deg for 20mins, then lowered the oven to 160 at 17min per pound (was a 3.5kg joint) then rested it for 45 mins. I personally like it cooked a little less, but the other 5 don't, so I went with the masses, and to be fair it was lovely and moist, very, very tasty









To go with, some oven roasted tomatoes with garlic and balsamic, maple syrup pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese, garlic mushrooms, roast spuds with rosemary and garlic, leeks and bacon and of course yorkshires! All finished with a red wine gravy made from the meat juices.









Then last, but by no means least, my 13 year daughter made a New York baked cheesecake with a blueberry sauce over it!

Beef looks a little overdone for me, not that I'd complain if you served it up right now :licK:
Even as a non pudding eater cheesecake looks great.

Late Christmas dinner post

I fractured my knee in Nov and my wife broke her leg in Dec so we decided to get delivered Tesco something as could not shop. We wanted a duck but they had run out. They had run out of most things so ended up with some pork crown thing. This is it on the packet



I imagined it like one of those burger shots where this idealised world came out looking nothing like it, but surprisingly it came out not too bad.



An extra bonus was I cut off the ribs for a midnight snack later



So very impressed. As pre-prepared as it goes good backup. The scratchings looked like they did on the photo also

It's always a compromise when cooking for other folk, I like my steak black and ultraviolet....

Good effort on that. The starter is a bit messy, but main course good stuff.

For many people cooking is a relaxation.

I have runs where I will cook nearly every night I am home. Equally I will have a run of egg and toast and take away.

If you plan the grocery shopping and have a good cupboard of staples it can be quite pleasurable.

Plus in our house if you cook something decent you are exampt from tidying up.
