Thanks to Wiki for the pronunciation script. In the US, it's 'foo', in Canada and Vietnam,'fa'. It took me a long time to get it right.

Leftover homemade vegetable lasagne. I even made the tomato sauce from scratch myself, with tomatoes grown on the rooftop deck and from my sister-in-law's garden.

Lovely.

I like spinach with a poached egg on toast. Sort of similar.

:thumbup:

Stuffed cabbage leaves generally involve a tomato sauce and maybe tomatoes. Baked beans come in a tomato sauce.

So long as the cabbage isn't over boiled it's a good mix. I think it just sounds odd because baked beans are more likely associated with a greasy spoon breakfast than other veg.

I'm not having lunch today, in solidarity with Oink. The beer I had doesn't count.

No lunch = sacrilege.


Smoked fish pate on bread roll or two.

Very small tub bought locally from just down the road.

Delicious. These bags are pretty good. I've had a few different ones, from Walmart, but this has been magnificent.

I can't see the brand on the Walmart website anymore. Hope they still sell it. :fingerscrossed:

If you can get to Walmart I'd suggest buying what you can find - I've not had much luck tracking that brand down other than the manufactors (in UK and India) a Brit grocery and a couple on Amazon.

Thanks. I noticed Tesco has it. :lol:

I mentioned how good it was to my MIL so you can bet she'll soon find an excuse to go to Walmart - "Oh I need some cat food" :nod: - to try to get some. :angel:

That's all good but you really got to marinate your chicken overnight. A two-step marinate works the best. For the first 40 minutes in a lemon juice, garlic and ginger paste and then for overnight, with garlic and ginger paste, mixed spices and chopped cilantro/coriander leaves in a plain yogurt base. It's a knock out.

They gravy in that recipe is not the best, too sweet and not rich enough. But the marinated chicken pieces are the gash.

I think, that with this particular sauce, you could marinate your chicken in dish soap and toilet duck and the sauce would completely mask it. :rofl:
