Cooked a chicken curry last night, blended onions, garlic and ginger to paste. Heated mustard oil, added whole spices, added onion mix and browned off. Added touch of vinegar and tomato puree, browned that off, added spices cooked that down, added chicken, stirred round, added chicken stock and cooked. Finally added lots of coriander, couple of finger chillies and couple of peppers, 5 mins and serve with paratha.

Tonight should be roast beef but Sainsbury's tried to substitute beef gravy for joint???? Wife out shopping for the real thing.

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 
Saturday - Breakfast - banged some chick breasts out thin, marinated overnight and cooked chicken burgers for men's Zoom breakfast with church (normally we'd meed for bacon rolls).

Dinner - I made a chicken pho broth with chicken wings, then put the wings in oven with some seasoning and backed them - a little overdone but tasty. Veggie stir fry and used the broth with noodles and thin sliced chicken breasts - some fried crispy, some tender.

Sunday dinner - got some nice rolled Italian sausage at Costco for a barbie but guests couldn't make it so cooked in tomato sauce, served half the sos with a little bit of sauce, Greek style pita and salad. (Remaining will be with mashed potatoes latter in week.)

Overcooked ;), if a steak doesn't bray when you stick the fork in it's overdone.

My family cooked fathers day meal yesterday - prawns with home made mayo/marie rose dressing, duck legs - shredded with noodles and veggies with chilli oil, fresh exotic fruit salad.

Last night cooked a North Indian style curry. Only error was had to use canned tomatoes that made it all a bit too wet and red before the meat went it. Very tasty though with chappatis sat in garden and Heineken 0. (Drinking a fair bit of alcohol free lager and low alcohol ciders. Not as good as "the real thing" but with lower activity need to drop the calories.)

You have an allotment in your pie?

I knew pi was an irrational number, and it was infinite after the decimal point, but I didn’t realise that extended to pie... :D

We treated ourselves to this Toastie Maker back in March. A real blast from the past.

We bought our first one in the early 70s and it lasted for years and only gave up the ghost when our son hijacked it to take to University in 1999, I think he almost lived on Baked Bean Toasties for his first year. :D
