    I'll mention the rumor that there's a Norman Bassette bobblehead doll for any and all attendees for this match. Kids get two each.

    Tonight's meal was simpler and way less prep. Gà Nướng Sả - A lemongrass garlic chicken served with rice noodle and the assorted usual suspect side vegetables. Nước chấm - a commonly used vinegar condiment including fish sauce, chili pepper, garlic, for dipping your meat or veggies or drizzling...

    Recipe Thread.

    Well I didn't personally create any of them after all, bought a cookbook from author Julie Mai Tran. If I get the energy to type out everything from a recipe I'll consider doing so. Are there many Asian markets over in UK that aren't Indian focused? A lot of these recipes seem to have very...

    My hands suffered flashing hot oil spray but only hurt for a bit. Fish was lovely in taste and texture.

    And it was quite tasty. I've only had rabbit once, at a restaurant years ago in a stew. Nobody puts it on the menu here.

    See title. I just wanted to share as I've been well proud of myself and hoping by end of the year to have the confidence to cook for her mother. Cá hấp - steamed fish, we chose a golden pompano. It is steamed with long sliced green onion and ginger, with pâté spread on toasted bánh mì Chả...

    SBT predictions for 24/25

    She did slave over that pork pie back in April for a special occassion, she hated all the work and labor.... I could mention that my mate wingy mentioned it's about time I'd had another, it's worth a try. I expect to be either fancying a top meal tonight, or sleeping on the couch.

    Brilliantly imperfect, or perfectly brilliant

    It was one of the most entertaining matches through and through that I'd seen in a long while. I'd happily watch us squeek by with 5-4 scoreline every other week. I hope MR ups tempo with more attacking aggression the entire game moving forward, given the new options added to an already...

    Cricket 2024

    Windies vs South Africa second Test started today. Had on in the background during work. 17 wickets fell. I initially thought it was a strong start for the Islanders following the rain drenched first Test draw to limit SA to just 160 odd runs (amazing 60+ 10th wicket stand by the way), but...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    Oh, forgot to comment on match prediction. 0-0 draw, dodgy offside call against Simms or Wright. Or maybe a tidy 1-0 win courtesy of another Palmer worldy.
