Shadrach wrote It all looks very delicious! The salad still looks a little dry. Is there enough Olive Oil? Some homemade Mayonnaise would be a nice touch, maybe a little spicy! and some Basil, or Cilantro, ( Coriander) , or Parsley on top to add some color! The chicken looks very good also. I am more of a cream type sauce kind of guy. No problem, I can handle the tomato sauces too. Just not my favorite? I am growing some lemon Basil now, and have planted Thai Basil too. The lemon Basil is new for me and has a unique flavor! I am trying to grow Coriander and Dill too. I am not having much success because I live by the Sea and I think it's too hot! The only green leafy vegetables that seem to grow here are Chinese Kale and Chinese Cabbage! Regular Kales, Chard, Mustard, All Brassica's don't like it here. White and purple Eggplant, and Tomatoes and Peppers seem to grow here too. Have you tried to grate your own Parmesan? I hear it's better than the pre-grated in the box. The cheese in the box has fillers and Aluminum to stop the cheese from caking. I have used it also too! I know it's hard to find a good Parmesan here. The noodles look yummy! Haven't tried the dessert yet! Good work Man!

The salad had just spend a few hours in the fridge, the picture was the "display" version, eggs nicely on top before stirring it and adding some extra olive oil. Cream : yep, our favorite (the Missus favorite) is cream/white wine/mustard/ mushroom, but sometimes you need to change a bit... Agreed for the Parmesan grating ! That's how I do for the Emmental, so yes I should (and will) do same for the Parmesan. Not tried to plant anything, even if I have space. Being an ex mechanic, I don't really have the "green hand" as we say in French. Ok, was out a bit yesterday so this morning it's "Aussie breakfast" if you see what I mean.... Still 4 weeks in bachelor status ! And yes it would be nice if others added some pictures, whatever the food...

I must (modestly) admit that the San Miguel girl looks a bit better than me.....

I don't have a clue as to what an Aussie Breakfast is? Platypus pancakes? Wallybe waffles? Or maybe start the day with a Cockatoo Cocktail! Bloody hell, I'm just going to look out for some White Pointers and hopefully get a Root! Have a good day Mate!

Balifrog you are amazing. “ had a few G&T, red wine, beers” ….and that’s BEFORE lunch. I haven’t posted pictures of my smoothie and then Vegemite on toast for fear of ridicule after all the gastronomic wonders you create. No wonder you are retired, you wouldn’t have time in the day to work after preparing all these delicious creations. I have to second what someone else has said that this is the best subject that’s been put up in a long time. We all eat, some obviously better than others!!! Viva La France

Balifrog wrote BTW [USER=1532]@Markit[/USER], I dropped by at "The Hidden Garden" yesterday afternoon ! Not easy to find, had a girl from a nearby bar guiding me. Nice place, perfect location and lay out to be transformed into a "Gentlemen club" if it were in Thailand.... That small swimming pool could be fun ! Had "a few" G.T., red wine and beers before heading there, so I forgot about the ham.....

Say Hi to the owner Ron Hope from Markit. "Had "a few" G.T., red wine and beers before heading there, so I forgot about the ham....." No wonder everyone thinks the French are such "light-weights" you all get shitfaced before you even leave the house.

I should add that I think you should upgrade your security. After posting all these magnificent meals might break it and steal the food and leave the TV and other crap behind!!

You must be shitting me or you didn't meet Ron. Last time I saw him he reminded me of a drowned corpse that had been dug up after 2 weeks in the sand. Or you look truly horrible? If so can I have a picture? I'll frame it to keep the kids away from the pool?

Ok I'll play. My breakfast/lunch and possibly also dinner. Don't get as hungry as I used to and regret the time spent in preparation.

This app is too fecking lame to accept most pictures. Feckit

Hey just fake it. Put a bunch of ingredients out to make it look like your going to make a feast for the first photo, then go buy it from some Ibu! Mei Goreng, Soto Ayam, Nasi Champur! How about Bacon, scrambled eggs, Toast and Butter, Coffee, and a juice of some sort, Mango or Orange for color! Or buy a green Mango or Papaya, get some chilies, Shrimp paste and make it look like you made a fresh Rujak!, that you just bought from the local Warung! and you look like a Gourmet Chef!

Food for us is very important. It's not about "feeding the animal" but also about the social part of enjoying lunch or dinner together. Some time ago I had a friend over for dinner with his Indo g/f and when seeing the table she said to my Missus "woaw, its like a restaurant here" To which she answered "no, it is normal, it is every day like this, even we are only both of us. And when the "friend" suggested to put the rice cooker on the table she was gently reminded "that's a nono" ... And yep, we usually spend more time preparing and cooking than eating the stuff.

Yes I agree! In the summertime in the US, we have what we call Potlucks! Where everyone makes something special with love, to bring to the table and share with their friends! It was a labor of love and appreciation for our friends, families, abundance, to share! It is a time to let go of the hustle, bustle of the daily grind and relax with your friends and family! And raise a glass of Joy to All! Thank you, Balifrog for this gift of sharing food!

It may be that the data size is megabite. If converted to Jpg kbs it would probably not be a problem.

No, no. It is actually quite artistic as if it were painted by one on the impressionists... perhaps Monet. Sell it on Facebook or Twitter.

I don't detect a note of sarcasm, I'm getting the whole song. Ta.
