Today's Malaysian lunch.

Char Mee - fried noodles. Full of beansprouts, prawns, chicken and other bits and a load of hot spices. Very tasty and only about £1.50.

Waitrose are doing hot cross buns with cherries and berries in and they are a bit special.
They are dark, sour/sweet cherries rather than glacier.

I recommend putting them in your face for joy purposes.

Really into a Wispa Gold these days. What a treat.

Both B and I loved it! Has a really nice hot flavour to it, but nothing that will stay for too long. Which has the added bonus of eating at a respectable pace, it's something I've been watching as eating out here always makes you feel a bit rushed.

Had it with just some bread on the side yesterday, might make it into burritos or tacos tonight.

Didn't use celery as I don't like it, went for ketchup over BBQ sauce, used tapatio hot sauce (something the South American register lady approved) and had some dried red jalapeños from my own balcony garden. There's a lot of good dried chillies available in supermarkets, I'll try a couple of different ones. I'm not a big fan of hot for the sake of it, but this chili was a good blend of hot, smoky and even a hint of sweet.

B wouldn't have minded beans and corn in there, so maybe I'll try that next time, think I'd prefer it with a little green salad on the side myself.

Easy to make as well, it only requires you to be home to add liquid every once in a while. Need to remember to buy kitchen gloves when using chillies, nothing went wrong yesterday but I still remember taking out my contact lenses after cutting up a chili. Couldn't use my lenses for two days after that!

Hm, I might give it a try next time. I've used it in curries before, and always found it too noticeable. Never missed it when I left it out.

Peeling the ridge side sounds like a skateboarding or surfing expression.

Just me?

OK.

That one was a lot of points in Tony Hawks.

Gorgeous pet.

Ok, I'll leave the beans out, B loses (I'm not a big fan anyway). Corn on the side is an option, a lot of people here seem to serve cornbread with chilli, might have a look into that. The chorizo I used is more between a paste and minced meat, so no chunks in the chilli.
I'll add in celery next time, noticed your recipe on the blog also features cacao, so I'm excited for that.

Had it again today, just made a tray full of nachos, covered with leftover chilli, cheese and guacamole. Fitted a Friday night very well. Had some melon as a side / dessert, was nice to have something sweet next to it.

Got another question for you @fullspectrum, or anyone else with kids and BBQ skills. My 7 year old nephew is coming over in a month, now I don't want to get him all fat when he's here. I'm sure there will be plenty of dining out of the house, but since I look out onto the swimming pool and BBQ area, it might be nice to spend some evenings there. It's just a gas BBQ, so nothing fancy. What would be good suggestions to make? Burgers is of course a go, as he can build his own, maybe hotdogs at some point. Chicken wings with different dipping sauces? Greek style kebab? What would be good marinades to use that won't be too spicy or too strange for kids? Also need to think of a way to get him some vegetables.
