Huirays chicken wings in the Kam Heong (golden fragrant) style. Served with stir fried sugar snap peas and steamed rice. Thanks huiray, it was delicious and I will make it again.

Huiray, this looks so good, I'm doing it. I've bought the chicken wings, I have fresh curry leaves plus the pantry necessities. Thank you !

Sorry, rhyming slang, dead horse = tomato sauce (which Americans call ketchup).

Cumberland pork sausages with onion gravy. Served with potato mash, slightly mushy peas and brussels sprouts with bacon.

Yes, heidih, it is delicious although a product of laziness on my part. Our local shopping centre has a Filipino grocer, so it's easy to grab a 100 g packet for AUD $1.40. I'm trying to replicate the crunchy salad toppings from Myanmar where we did a cooking school, there was no packaging and I'm finding it difficult to establish what those little crunchy things were. These are close, but not the full deal. I'll keep trying though.

Sausage rolls, with dead horse of course.

A simple pesto with spaghetti as I struggle to use all the basil we have growing. Served with garlic sourdough.

I'd be tempted to make a lime limoncello, from memory it takes several weeks to mature. Hopefully, you're not off the booze for ever. Try it sprinkled over vanilla ice cream. Lucky you, limes are very expensive here, $15 per kilo, and I'm lucky to get more than 2 tablespoons of juice.
