Your thinking of tonight already !?

The only thing I can be sure of this evening will be a glass of :drinkwine: or a :beer:

No idea what we will be having to eat. May just have some cheeses, crackers, chutney with some pate. Hmmm. Now that's got me thinking should I get a bottle of port :confused:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Good plan Animal! Chicken livers shall be bought and pate shall be made, (bacon, chives, butter, pepper, thyme, leetle wine), regardless of teatime choices the mid-afternoon picnic is always a good place to start. I have olives, chorizo, cheese. I'm on a bit of an austerity program right now but the bottle of Danzante chianti in the cupboard is a fine drink paired with all sorts of little goodies.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I can make pate tomorrow 'cause I bought 2 packs, I had a big garden salad then fried bacon and new potatoes and chicken livers fried in bacon fat with salsa and Huy Fong chili garlic, (zack lee) sauce. Just as I dug in the wood chipper scene in Fargo was playing on the big screen. Mmmmmmmmm.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'm making borscht for supper today, and some latkis to go with it, sound good, foreigngirl?:rofl:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Sausages and chips with onion gravy and several lagers.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Chicken curry tonight. Two extra teaspoons of chilli powder, just to naff HID up. ;)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Yeah, well I had chicken curry and chips! I have a certain quantity of little chocolate bars left over from halloween, (a ton) and I've been wondering if I can substitute some for dark chocolate and almonds in mole sauce. I may try tomorrow. Love mole sauce. I have no qualms about trying ingredients approximate to the real thing and a boo at the mole' wiki page (it's own page!) shows the variations are extreme. Thinking about Old Mexico today prompted me to make a cantalope milkshake, something I haven't had since then (no egg this time though).

Re: Teatime Choices
 

What's your curry recipe ?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Usually a variant from 660 Curries by Raghavan Iyer.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Will check. Actually Guardian has just done a top ten curries recipes today. We usually just use Pataks, but really ought to try harder.

I might try that shepherds pie one. :thumbup:

Once you get the basic concept down its all quite easy.

Critical equipment, cheap coffee grinder, cheap blender, wok with lid, cheap jars from a dollar store for your spices, don't forget to label them. A trip to an Indian supermarket to buy the stuff otherwise it'll cost a fortune. Then be on the look out for tins of tomato sauce and coconut milk on sale and stock up. :)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I have that book.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Do you like it and how far have you got through recipes?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Not had it that long, around a couple of months. Made roughly six,or seven curries, some blends and a few different sauces.

Probably my favourite was a paneer and peas recipe :thumbup:

Do like book and a nice challenge to see how long it takes to make them all:)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

My inspiration was Astro yogurt 2 for $1 at Giant Tiger, hard to beat that.
