Yesterday's easy lunch. What I call farmer's omelette.
Thin slices fried potato, emmental and chives.
Served with salad and vinaigrette sauce.

Evening the remaining chicken tights, but this time with Basmati rice. A completely different league from the bland, tasteless white rice that spend a few hours in the rice cooker.
The Missus was a bit surprised first time I showed her to cook rice in a pan.....
Olive oil in the pan, heat it up, add the rice (washed) and fry it slowly 3 or 4 minutes to give it a nice brown color. While doing this add the spices : 1 chicken stock cube, salt, pepper, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, ginger powder, curcuma, cloves and bay leaves.
Add hot water to cover the rice and slowly cook it till "all dente"
Basmati rice is supposed to be a bit crispy, not the glue like mush white thing.
Note : the Miss can now cook this to perfection, but is not a fan of it and stick with white rice...

I hate the rice here. I often buy "reject rice" to feed to my dogs, funny thing is there is effectively no difference between that and the "quality" Bali top rice - horrible muck, sticky and tasteless. Love basmati but hate the price of it. Just paid 80k for a kilo online. One time bought 5kg but ended up throwing away most of it because of creepy-crawly infestation. Love basmati though.
