Re: Why do you post ?
I started with the odd post in The Lounge and thought I could handle it but I soon found myself looking the Aussie forums and even ... <shudder> ... Moving Back To The UK ... at this point I knew I had a problem.
Then came the Premium Member years ... then I saw a shiny Merc in the Photo Gallery and decided that this site didn't need any more of my money
Sometimes I wonder about the futility of posting some half-arsed opinion that will probably make no odds to anything and I consider the time that could have been better spent on other things.
Then I realise it is all part of the rich tapestry of life and sometimes even the most trivial action matters in the scheme of things.
So I go off to a porn site for a wank.

Re: Why do you post ?
(This is a very simple recipe and its very difficult to screw up becuase everything is done on half heat!)
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 red onions, roughly chopped
1kg rump steak
12 beef oxo cubes
1 bottle of red wine (drinking quality is a must - if you wont drink it you cant cook with it!)
1/2 teaspoon black onion seeds
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1 litre boiling water
4 large potatoes, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
2 teaspoons tumeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon crushed ginger
1 teaspoon chopped coriander leaves
1 teaspoon garam masala
sweat off onion and garlic then add steak and brown.
crumble in 6 of the oxo cubes and half the bottle of red wine. Simmer for 5 mins. Add black onion seeds and celery seeds. Stir and simmer for a further 5 mins, reducing the red wine stock.
Add the boiling water and 1/2 the chopped potatoes as well as the remaining stock cubes. Stir well.
Simmer for 2 mins. Add the other half bottle of wine (reserving a wee glass for the chef!) and bring back to the simmer.
Add in the remaining spices and cook for 15 mins. Add the remaining potato and cook for 25 mins until the first lot of potato starts to breakdown. (You want to still have some chunks of the second lot of potato)
Take off the heat and leave over night.
The next day, reheat and serve with boiled rice.
