Actually got the Trek rideable today and nipped out for a quick test ride, still some fettling to do but mostly ok considering the mix of parts.

Found this really interesting. A curry chef evaluating 6 supermarket curries. @ budget, 2 mid range and two " premium "

Very good, but at the end of the day, it is what you get use to
we are not all the same.

Thanks for that.
I agree with him but eg the standard Aldi curry with rice @less that £3 is imo excellent value and is plenty for me.
Ive not tried the premium range that he refers to as it doesn't include rice and by the time I add rice and possibly naan it would be too much for me.

Really warm today with very strong S wind. Lots of chores done and a weights session.
Will ride tomorrow. Grass cut.

As for curry, we make our own from scratch although with maybe some tikka masala paste in. My wife is very anti UPF so never or extremely rarely makes anything with any in.

Pleasant day weather wise. Took in a another bowl of tomatoes from my plants.

I meant to post this earlier.
My Bro lives on the Wirral and this was about 6ish this morning.

The Aldi curries are really good at £3.99

Butter chicken, chicken tikka massala & jalfrezi are all excellent.

We add roasted peppers and fried tomato to ours.

More or less what the chap on the video does.

It's quite warm down here this evening, the breeze is quite stifling.

Lovely roast chicken dinner has been consumed

 

[Paulus]

I did chicken breasts, sliced open and filled with phillidelphia cheese, wrapped in smoked bacon and baked in the oven with mushrooms, tomatoes cooked with parmesan, back pepper and basil, and a jacket potato.
All cooked in 30 minutes and very tasty.

16 here and still murky and drizzly. I still have all the windows open though.

It's still hot here. 23 deg. We might be in for a storm.

Spent most of today sorting out a few floor tiles which sounded hollow and one moved slightly, so up they came, took about three hours to remove all the old adhesive, I’ll grout tomorrow.

Absolutely knackered now!

When I first left home aged 19 I was a wizard with a pound of mince or sausages.
I got the bug for cooking from my old mum who was an excellent cook, bought up during ww2.
When I got married in 1981 I decided to try various things and found i loved cooking.
