Lamb massaman curry, brown rice & broccolini.
Realised just how tired I am, it's always when you finally stop for a rest your body lets you know exactly how much energy you forward spent isn't it?! Way too tired to get on a motorbike today or even walk round the corner to the supermarket!
I keep emergency ambient food here for the times a flights delayed or it's Sunday and the shops are shut. There's some freezer stuff too but you can't rely on the power not tripping out - moulding freezer contents anyone?
So rather than expend any energy I've tucked into the back up ambient stuff that's here.
It's quite a fun lucky dip as I bought the stuff in a rush and didn't translate anything I didn't understand, quite simply if it was gluten free and ambient I bought it, after all I'm not a fussy eater so everything (gluten free) is on the menu.
Lunch today was -
It really wasn't bad at all. Too salty (and I like salt) and the potatoes tasted a bit odd like jarred stuff does sometimes but overall edible bordering on enjoyable! Needed pepping up with some fresh veg and the flavour bolstering a bit but I wasn't in the mood to do the work.
The cocoa was unexpected.
The quality of these things seems to vary wildly country to country, brand to brand. I'd buy it again but maybe have a mini bottle of red to embolden it.. or me

Lately whenever I ask my mom what she wants for her birthday, she answers “Your dulce de leche cheesecake!” My father finds it way too sweet, so I made this half-and-half cheesecake yesterday (divided by a graham cracker barrier).
The left side is lemon curd, and the right side is dulce de leche.

That looks fantastic, and I love the clever divider.

A late lunch/snack today with these puff pastry crackers flavoured with oregano+fennel seeds and others with grated Parmigiano.
Paired with a marinara sauce, i.e. tomato passata, garlic and oregano.

Meatloaf, mashies and broccoli .
The plan was prime rib on the grill/smoker. But, if the rain that isn't supposed to be falling doesn't stop, it will be pizza tonight. 
The weather radar was clear when I started ca chimney full of charcoal. It's like Mother Nature is giving me the middle finger.

Yeah, I'm smoking/cooking now.
The problem was that the skies opened up while my charcoal was still starting in my charcoal chimney. I had to scramble to save my fire. That, and even though I CAN smoke in the rain, I don't WANT to get soaked. The rain has stopped for now, and my meat is on the Weber, but I am chasing my target temperature due to the weather and because my game plan got interrupted.

That was my first prime rib/rib roast cook. I was nervous, and the weather just added to my anxiety. But, it turned out great.
Everything I read said to over-season the roast with salt and pepper, and that was good advice. Salting it 24 hours in advance was a good idea, too. The crust was peppery, and the meat inside was just right.
I'm going to be eating this thing all week.
Lots of roast beef sandwiches in my near future. CD
