When you finally trace the smell, and discover half a mouse that's been dead for a month ...
"I'll kill that cooking fat"

Trex.
As in cooking fat.

The Memsahib made her salmon and prawn-based fish pie this evening (absolutely superb) - and she basically said to me "do something with that spare aubergine". Well, having decided that it didn't fit in any body cavity, I got to thinking "how do you make aubergine interesting without going full moussaka or parmigiano on it?"
So I sliced it pretty thin, painted each slice with a little olive oil, fried it for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, cleared any excess olive oil from them, put them in a shallow baking dish, brushed them with butter (yes, I really should have fried them in butter first and not olive oil, but I was making it up as I went along), smothered them with freshly-chopped chives and parsley, the juice of a lemon and gave them 10 minutes at gas mask 7.
Very nice - will do again.

All done on the Weber Kettle.

Yes mate a stronger ipa than some.

Try the Samichlaus Schwarzes.
I picked 3 up from BeersOfEurope the other day, but be warned. They seem to disappear very quickly. Two appear to have evaporated already.

Easy eats tonight (the Memsahib cooked) - sausage, mushrooms, bacon, scrambled egg, baked beans and black pudding.
Lovely.

Nice hoppy hazy beer at three quid a pop from Tesco.

Sorry to hear about the knee mate.  That's a rarebit of bad luck you're having.  

Rooney would have a Nan with that.
 

I'd better postpone that one for a couple of years then.

The 5th Sept is a Saturday... Not sure you've thought this through!

Leftovers tonight. Over the last month, I have made 3 Thai green curries, and each time there was some left over and duly frozen.
Tonight, the three boxes came out of the freezer, defrosted and the contents chucked in the wok with another 250 ml of chicken stock and half a tin each (also frozen leftovers) of bamboo shoots and water chestnuts.
Loved it.

Samichlaus Classic for me today, had it once before in 2016, Eddie's posts reminded me it existed but also informed me there was more than one version. 
Could only get hold of the classic, £5.95 from suds and soda which isn't too far over the odds tbf.
Yep, a lovely sweet, sticky, boozy doppelbock worth savouring.
 

We quite often have Norman Hunter's chicken, so
