sartoric

I don't think so Okanagancook. They're more like a thick pappadam. It's hard to get specifics here, there's a bit of a language barrier, but they are delicious. I love shrimp chips too (in Oz we call them prawn crackers), I've been known to fry up a huge plate and eat them all....

Lunch with friends at a local restaurant in Mandalay, Myanmar. Shan chips with a dipping sauce of green chillies, garlic and soy. Chicken with straw mushrooms, stir fried corn and snow peas, fried rice and prawn soup.

We leave tomorrow for nearly a month away, I'll miss my kitchen, but have some cooking classes planned.....The last supper is rice with prawns, wombok, cherry tomatoes and spring onions.

In two days time we'll be in Myanmar, so to get in the groove I made Burmese chicken curry with potatoes and pumpkin. Served with stir fried veggies, rice and roti bread. The curry. The veggies. The meal. More info here - https://www.facebook.com/Whats-for-dinner--1427021760943871/

Lions head meatball soup. Served with toasted sourdough.

Last nights mixed salad with a can of tuna !

Yes, it's late spring, nearly summer, lovely at the moment here with day time temps around 26 C.

Started with a snack of spicy avocado dip (avocado, Harissa, lemon juice and natural yoghurt). Linguine with pesto because I had to do something with this. Plus a mixed salad. Served with crusty sourdough.

Looks delicious. Can you tell me more about the potato galette?

Sumac dusted lamb cutlets. Served with pumpkin, potato and garlic mash with mozzarella, chickpea salad with pomegranate, and mixed tomatoes on baby cos. The salad. The meal. More info here https://www.facebook.com/Whats-for-dinner--1427021760943871/

Roast pumpkin, bacon and baby spinach risotto. Served with a mixed salad and crusty ciabatta. The salad. For more details here's a link to my FB page. https://www.facebook.com/Whats-for-dinner--1427021760943871/ Hope the link works, dummy on iPad here....

Roasted pumpkin, bacon and baby spinach risotto. Served with a mixed salad and crusty bread. In Australia we call this Kent pumpkin, it's some kind of winter squash anyway. I roast bite size pieces of pumpkin that have been drizzled with EVOO chopped fresh rosemary and seasoned with salt and pepper. For the risotto, I fry sliced bacon until crispy, remove to drain on paper towels, then fry diced onion in olive oil and butter until soft, add crushed garlic, then add arborio rice and stir to coat the grains. A glass of white wine goes in to sizzle, then in the usual risotto method I add hot vegetable stock a ladle at a time. I season along the way. When the rice is al dente I add the pumpkin, the bacon, and a big handful of baby spinach leaves. To finish, lots of butter and parmesan cheese. Rest the rice for 5 minutes. The salad. The risotto keeps well for lunch the next day too.

Fair enough, will do, thanks.

Chinese claypot / hotpot, with chicken and veggies. Served with rice and chilled cucumber salad. In the claypot above. Ready to eat.

I do write a fairly detailed method and ingredients list for my daily FB page "What's for dinner ?", but thought that this forum, or in particular this thread was more about just a photo and brief description. What's the consensus ? I'm happy to post the details, seeing I've already written them....

Yes, snow peas Huiray. I don't follow tradition too much, more what I like, and what we're growing. It also had potatoes, broccoli and tomatoes.And, here's the paste ingredients.
