The Retirement Thread

[Chief Broom]

Tell her to relax - I will be getting rid of all that horrid veg for her this evening... It is mega veggie curry night!

When I was a student I used to make a huge veggie curry at the weekend, eat one portion and freeze the rest to eat during the week. I'm doing something similar today. I will get 6 generous portions from it.

It will include:

• A butternut squash
• 5 or 6 carrots
• 3 or 4 parsnips
• A medium-sized swede
• 125 g of green lentils
• a green pepper
• half a red pepper
• 2 leeks
• 2 hot chillies (I would put 5 or 6 in, but a friend is sharing with me and she has a more sensitive palate than me!)
• 6 - 8 cloves of garlic
• a piece of ginger
• 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tin of chickpeas
• 1 tin of red kidney beans
• a couple of sticks of celery
• a scoop of mixed seeds

There may be one or two other vegetables to add. I'll see what I have in the cupboard.

Fortunately, it is very mild for this time of year.

Wot no cumin/coriander/garam massala/turmeric!

It wasn't a full list of ingredients, just the main veggie ingredients. Mind you, I suppose that those come from plants too!

Hammering down here. Been up since 0500 but will go back shortly (don't call me shortly). Listening to Tony Blackburn with SoTS... ..my era and I really enjoy it.
Grandson came yesterday and it was an enjoyable visit.......pizza n chips, nice and easy.
Assuming I wake up I will watch footy on tv later.

Good morning folks,
Feeling a tad fragile after yesterday’s trip to the beer festival, it’s chucking it down outside so we’ll give parkrun a miss this morning

A beer festival seems a good reason to feel fragile
