It's only half past ten and I've made:

Two steak and kidney pies.
A prawn madras.
A chicken bhuna.

One of the pies is destined to be a birthday pie for a colleague.

The prawn madras is for my colleague's birthday lunch.

The chicken bhuna is for tonight's evening meal.

Think I'll have a lie down.

 

[longers]

I think I will take you up on the offer of marriage Vernon. If it's not too late.

Careful, you'll get Noodley knocking on your door .

Om nom

I've done the laundry and changed my sheets. Does that earn me pie?

I've been up since 7 and all i've done is watch tv

I was at the local B&Q for 7 this morning to buy a new bog seat, cracked it last night whilst gripping too tight trying to force one out. standing on it to fix the roller blind on the window.

The curries were a resounding hit. Colleague, my wife and offspring enjoyed them immensely. They were very tasty.

I've given my colleague his birthday pie and have one that has, as yet, an intact crust and filling. The temptation, oh the
temptation!

I have just submitted the Raw Pies photo to the C.T.C to replace the original badge.

If the CTC pay enough I'll bake them some "Legacy Pies'; meatless and varnished for mounting outside endorsed pie shops to signal the availability of piefection.

I can now relay/relate the fact that the pies were up to their usual standard.

I'm now fully ballasted for my summer tour.

You can keep the pies (as long as Mr S doesn't see them), but the prawn madras looks good!

Vernon this is a slight hijack but reading this thread made me remember that you asked me for the Lancashire Tater Ash recipe ages ago and I never posted it. Here it is:

1lb stewing steak
2.5lb spuds
An onion, chopped
Water
Gravy browning.
Salt and pepper

Method
Heat oven to 150 degrees C
Cut stewing steak into ordinary sized pieces. Put in a casserole with chopped onion, salt and pepper, cover it in water. Cook for 1.5 - 2 hrs with the lid on.
Parboil the potatoes whole, from cold. Boil for 10 minutes.
When the meat is out of the oven put in a good sized pan with all of the juice
Cut potatoes into quite chunky pieces and put them in the pan. Raise heat to medium, put lid half on pan, keep stirring and add gravy browning.
The potatoes need to cook and absorb the meat juices. As the potatoes break down the whole thing will thicken. You need to keep stirring it every few minutes.
Leave some liquid in for bread dipping. Needs to be sloppy rather than runny. Season as you go.


Lovely looking pies, by the way!

Believe me, it was excellent and it was well received by my guests.

The bhuna flushed my oldest son out of his lair and he paid us a visit for an evening meal.

I'm the only pie eater in the hose but that suits me fine
