You can cook a potato in microwave stab it with a fork put in a microwave dish set for 3-3min 30. Barra looks OK i would put olive oil on it pepper maybe some garlic and grill it.

Baron - the Barra was fried in olive oil.
I don't want to mess my stove up using the griller -
cleaning a frypan is enough.
Who cares how much the hash browns cost - $1 each - so what - they are nice.

A loaded pizza tonight!
The round electric pizza oven tripped all the power off!
So I had to do it in the oven!
Edges of dough a bit dry and crusty otherwise was delish!
With chicken, bacon, lotsa mozza, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, pineapple and topped with rocket salad.
I will have to look for a new little electric pizza oven.
We have a big wood heater outdoor oven. Hardly use it. I keep saying I will Grin

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.

That looks delish, Sophia!

I ordered a pizza delivery last night and some churros. What a disaster that was.

First the online tracking told me it was delivered but it wasn't. So I called them and the girl told me to go outside and check on the ground in case the driver just dumped it without knocking.

What the ...?

I go outside and it's not there. It finally showed up 40 minutes later and stone cold.

I decide to voice my disapproval and go to the useless tracking link they gave me but it won't let me do that. It tells me my order number is wrong. So I find another link and again I can't give feedback. The links disappear after an hour of them telling you the pizza has arrived.

Not happy Jan! I won't be getting another pizza delivered for awhile.

Geez Ms Orchard Shocked

I’ve never ordered to be delivered so I’m not certain I ever will unless no food in house and we both sick!
Otherwise I phone for an order and I go pick it up.
Don’t like the way it was all done to you. Sounds very irresponsible! I think you should make a complaint at where they are, and ask for a refund.

I get pizza delivery occasionally on a Saturday evening. I can't be bothered getting in the car to go and collect it when they deliver for free.

I should have demanded a refund but didn't. I'll just not order again for quite some time.

Dinner tonight.

heads tails flip online

I've been thinking of t-bone steak all day, got home and wifey said I got some nice t-bones. We eat steak a lot but just don't get t-bones that often. Cool quinkydink.

While she was cooking it, I opened face book and this 9 years ago today memory popped up. She hadn't seen it. doesn't even use Facebook any more!

In the salad bowl Wink

Sometimes, for lunch, I’m just in the mood for a nicely seared steak and with a bit of salt, that’s all I feel like eating.
Maybe accompanied with a slice of buttered bread.

Tonight … tah dum…. I cooked this (no surprises) with my own home made passata.
See that French Staub cast iron there… that silver lid is red hot and I have to have a cloth to handle it.
I don’t understand why the lid handle and pot side handles have to get so hot.
It cooks beautifully and retains heat for quite some time…as cast iron does.
It’s got enamel coating inside….so tomato passata can be cooked okay otherwise raw or even seasoned cast iron makes tomato passata too acidy apparently.
Okay for roasts, caseroles etc.
