What did you cook or eat today (September 2025)?

I got back from the restaurant about 5pm. Wife decided that it was more productive to paint pictures of flowers than cook today( well she paints very well indeed), so, since I'd defrozen 1kg of ground beef in the morning, I went ahead and made some kibbe; the fried version. Since that takes a while, I made some hummus and babbaganoush as well.
I've just come upstairs to my "office", after a couple of rather delightful Isle of Jura single malts, and now I'm ready to crash.
 
I found this recipe for chicken pat prik khing. I'm looking in my True Thai recipe book by Victor Sodsook and it has a classic red curry paste recipe that I've made before so I'll make that one. I can't find a recipe for pat prik khing in there or maybe it's spelled differently.

Bit late in the day to start grinding out curry paste so I'll start that tomorrow morning.
Yeah, it has many different spellings as most Thai has due to using a different alphabet.
The most confusing is that khing (or king) means ginger. But phat phrik khing contains no ginger.

Page 34 (if you got the same edition) gives the paste recipe, although I normally use bought red curry paste
 
I had a rib-eye pan steak last night, but used the grill for the baked potatoes. Green beans done in my usual way of steaming a little, then saute with virgin coconut oil and herbs de provence. Used up the last of the crimini mushrooms.

😋 I know you’re still a bit new around here but a fit is a fit and it’s never too early to invite someone for dinner.. just sayin’

I was looking at the red curry paste on page 26 but yes we have the same book and I've marked page 34. 👍 I've got all this for starters...
