And you probably don't want to see what goes on in a Chinese kitchen, if cooking meat and vegetables in a broth bothers you..

 Not only Chinese kitchens.

I have worked in nightclubs and other places where food is served.

I have always said, if the diner knew what was happening 'backstage'...everyone would eat at home.

 I worked in a pub where the landlord would re-use the spaghetti people left, reheat and plonk it onto new customer's plates.  I threw away some used butter one day and he scooped it out of the bin to use again!   They used to sell Gala pie and it was all green with mould under the pastry!   lol

Tonight funnily enough is Lancashire hotpot.

 I ended up not getting Lancashire hotpot after all.

She didn't tell me she had taken the wrong meat from the freezer so we ended up with a beef broth complete with pearl barley.

I finished it off for tonight's tea!

Very nice with some old fashioned type spelt bread.

For pud an inch thick slice of homemade Bara brith slathered in butter.

We had homemade lamb biryani tonight. I even ground up the spices myself and drizzled saffron infused milk over the rice. Took me hours.

 

Husband: "You know I'm not keen on lamb.   And I don't like raisins.  What's all that horrible crunch stuff on top?"

Me: Toasted almonds, you fucking philistine!!

   bitch

Sea bass fillets and a Syl special salad...OH is having goats cheese and caramelised onion tarts, also with the salad.
Going to open a bottle of Champagne with it.
I can't be bothered going out for a meal tonight...it's freezing cold, and everywhere will be too busy.

Not sure if this is an odd quirk, but OH can't stand the smell of fish, so I never put my fish in the oven the same time as I am cooking his tea.
Normally I love sea bass cooked in the oven with wine and lemon juice, tonight I will pan fry it in butter.

Not my preferred way, but if we want to eat together...that's how it will be.

 I love sea bass, and panned seared is the only way to go unless you do it blackened, but that requires a commercial vent or do it outside..

 There's also Syl's way, which doesn't require a commercial vent.

 That's the way I do it too, because I don't want the fire department to roll up..

People will cook a steak slathered with mayo sorta like binder for other spices. I never done it.


Sorta like yogurt on chicken before you cook it. I've done that, but wasn't really impressed..🤷
