… Noodles and Pickle Salad<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was another meal where I had the away disadvantage.\u00a0 But I was cooking at Tom and Hannah\u2019s house again, and they have a well set up kitchen and so there didn\u2019t seem to be too much of a disadvantage.\u00a0 I brought my own food processor.\u00a0 There was lots of things to slice tonight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was cooking before my midweek church<\/a> home group again.\u00a0 This time I was cooking for Tom, Ed and Hannah.\u00a0 Maisie, Tom\u2019s daughter, was there but she had already been fed. I suspect these will be the friends I will cook for most often as my life intersects with theirs more than others.\u00a0 Hannah bought me some basil infused olive oil as a thank you for cooking for her, which was very kind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a mini disaster at the beginning because I had forgot to bring the ginger with me.\u00a0 Cooking was delayed until some more was purchased.\u00a0 It felt like there was a lot to do with this meal.\u00a0 After the burgers were made there was lots of slicing to be done.\u00a0 This wasn\u2019t a hard meal to cook but the slicing, stirring, tearing and turning was constant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end I was 30 seconds over the fifteen minute mark.\u00a0 I suspect I could have done it in the fifteen minutes if I had the recipe entirely in my head because I did have to refer back to the book quite a few times.\u00a0 But even then I think this would still be a close one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The noodles and pickle were great and really tasty.\u00a0 They could have made a meal just in themselves.\u00a0 In fact there was enough left over for a fifth portion.\u00a0 The burgers were nice, if a slightly odd accompaniment to an Asian dish.\u00a0 The burgers I cooked tasted great, but three of the four fell apart quite a bit and looked substantially less good than the ones in the book.\u00a0 Oh well!<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way it is typical that when I called into the supermarket on my way over to Tom\u2019s the fish counter have large (jumbo in fact) raw shell-on king prawns.\u00a0 The very ones I needed for the meal I cooked last night.\u00a0 They would have looked great along side the prawn cocktail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
