I’m going to have to create a new category- the dishes that ended up in the bin. That was just unpleasant and it hardly ever happens to me-my food is hardly ever so bad, that it’s thrown away. It was today.

It was a recipe from Ken Hom’s “100 quick stir fry recipes”. I bought a jar of shrimp paste especially for it, never used it before and never will again. Man, it was vile!!! I only added it to the wok and the smell was just wrong. It also added the texture to the dish, that Florek flushed down with lots of beer, even though we both only had one forkfull. It was annoying, as I wasted ingredients, the prawns especially could have been enjoyed in lots of other ways. They’re in the bin together with that crappy paste.

While we were busy agreeing on how bad the dish was, Izzie spilled carrot juice all over her bathed self and the carpet- amazing evening……

Ken- we have a problem, you and I. :-/
