It’s really complex.

Buy Edam slices
Cook them for 10-12 minutes on foil
Taste induced orgasm

ETA: eat them fresh out the oven for maximum range. They can be ‘double cooked’ for some explosive pleasure

Why Edam?

And why do they go crispy rather than gloopy?

Natural cheeses which melt such as your namesake contain higher levels of whey (water) which when melted, spread out. The water enables the spread of fat/protein when they separate under heat. That is why some cheese such as Parmisan and goats cheese (low in whey) won't melt either. Plastic (processed) cheese contains low water and has added emulsifies which bind the fat/proteins (to increase shelf life). It's the same with some ice creams and spreadable butter. Constituent fats in dairy, melt at varying temperatures. Speadable butter has hard the hard/higher melting temp fats removed leaving lower melting point fats. Soft scoop ice cream stays 'soft' in the freezer unlike other types/brands

Pan seared Ostrich steak, homemade pesto, cherry tomato, steamed buttered broccoli.

Looks great, but there's so much filtering going on that the sauce looks radioactive!

Hahaha!

Salmon baked in a foil pocket and scrambled eggs

Healthy but are you averse to seasoning and accouterments such as spinach

I'm not big on veg. There is some sea salt on the eggs but I'm not a good enough photographer to capture it glinting under the one energy saving lamp...

Last night, I switch out chicken and bake a piece of salmon. Chicken Egg fried rice or salmon. You won’t notice the greens. Runner beans, carrots, onion. Soy sauce had not been added in the shot

I love baked salmon and Iove scrambled egg, but I'm not sure I'd let them share a plate and that picture hasn't done much to make me change my mind.

It was a change from the usual...

Flash fried bavette, again with eggs:

^^^ No,salmon and eggs passable but rare steak and scrambled, thats a no-no for me.

Having said that did a blue fillet with fried eggs and chilli sauce for my sons breakfast the other day.

Winter warming cheap Tomato soup






I've just introduced my good friend, Austin Powers over to try it and his initial thoughts were

Yeah baby yeah.

Sadly due technical issues with my trusty IBM PC I can't upload the meme / gif




Trust me, this is the sort of thing that impresses the chicks, and all for well less than £1.

"Did you make it all yourself?"

"Of course"

Which is true. Opening cans with a tin opener, pouring out and getting the dog covered in sploshes is making it yourself when you are a bachelor like me.

Pardon the pun.

Tower of Babel.

Make way for the Tower of Bacon




My wife brought me these home from work after their breakfast.


Any ideas how to improve it for dinner?

[illmonkey]

Ketchup!

[Patrick Bateman]

Anyone got any tried and tested one pot suggestions using pork shoulder? Things that can be frozen in portions is what I'm after.

Thinking of trying this (minus the dumplings)- https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/brazilian-pork...

Put all of the bacon in one of the half baguettes and add some ketchup.
