    The team can't always win. But, we all gotta eat, right? Thank you for your kind comments.

    I've been making my wife traditional Vietnamese dinners and here are some photos

    One positive of doing a big shop yesterday is having the ingredients available for some long thought-up dinner ideas. Someone along the way asked about something for a slow cooker: And so I thought I'd try out a marinade for pork ribs. A long rib rack we got for a good price, half for the slow...

    And I hope you'll notice @bawtryneal that the place mats are coincidentally absent tonight!

    And speaking of being bitter, it motivated the meal for tonight! Canh Khổ Qua- a bitter melon soup. Boy, this is apparently a very hit or miss dish, something you either love or hate. The melon is very bitter and chewy. It is stuffed with a mixture of ground pork, ground shrimp, mung bean clear...

    So, I am saddened to say that just after we went down 2 goals I was so very bitter and didn't watch the rest; we went Asian supermarket shopping instead. Now I look like the jackass. Luckily watched the second half on Paramount+ and glad to report my weekend is NOT ruined.

    I did stumble upon a UK website that provides a few good looking recipes that actually uses UK measurements and heat rather than having to do conversions: https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/vietnamese-pork-ribs-with-smacked-cucumber-salad/

    I've been making my wife traditional Vietnamese dinners and here are some photos

    Hi @bawtryneal thank you for checking out my little corner of the Interweb. I've been told some mainstay Vietnamese ingredients can be harder to find in the UK, but I imagine any Asian grocery especially if there's a large Chinese section should be able to manage the types of condiments and...

    Oof a disappointing result vs Derby earlier. Let's wash our mouths with some dental rinse and dig in. Bánh xèo - allegedly means "sizzling cake", a Vietnamese "crêpe". But no, kind viewers, there's no egg at all! The batter is a mix of rice flour, coconut milk, and tumeric gives it the yellow...

    Just finished watching the replay after being unable to see match yesterday due to prior commitments. Avoided the Internet entirely until Sunday afternoon, even. A compelling display, nervy game, we seemed 10x rougher than usual, far hungrier. Couldn't tell half the time we were supposedly a one...

    Welcome back, foodie lurkers. What I thought would take 45 minutes tops ended up taking almost 2 and a half hours, with prep and my own mismanagement. Got great feedback from the wife, so that helps. Gà Nướng - baked and broiled chicken. The seasoning / marinade included spicy chili, garlic...

    Mother in law gave us a large bag of egg rolls I believe the aunt made. So fried them all up. chả giò- what we'd call an egg roll. I'd seen it typically filled with a pork mixture with vegetable, but there's likely as many different styles as there are flavor preferences. Can be eatem by hand...

    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    Only partially skimming here so I might be a bit off: But what did Sheaf do or say to Dovin? A row over a bad backpass between the two? Fill me in here.

    What's the feel? Still slightly up with 4 wickets left, a long day or a result? Amazed to see 800+ runs for first innings but now it's day5 of 5
