TONIGHT`S DINNER

You are right Kitty they are dead easy. And this is from someone who is to cooking as Judy Murray is to dancing - bl**dy useless.

And before anyone says you can't start a sentence with AND I have done so twice.

Must agree with the Spice Tailor recommendation above - the best 'kit' curries I've come across - and I've tried plenty!

You can start a sentence with "and" when you are not in Primaey school and are comfortable with your own writing style! How often have I had to say this to bright and articulate students who think the rule is engraved in stone..

It is an effective device to use in a well formed sentence or phrase to catch the readers' attention.

You have to pick the big bits of spice out of the Spice Tailor ones. But they do satisfy a need. (look! I'm cooking!)

Had a delicious curry with Seeds of Change jar this evening. With Uncle Bens Wholemeal Microwave in the bag rice.

Oh, and a bag of Waitrose ready-washed spinach added on top of the browned chicken before tipping the sauce in.

Well done Jing do you have your apron on ?

We had the Spice Tailor coconut curry and Pilau rice scrummie.

Thanks Ariadne for the grammatical advice. I shall use AND as and when I want now.

And I will too

We had Italian omelette, oven chips and salad! Lazy cooking!

Just gotta try this Spice Tailor but am wondering if its available in NI as I`ve never heard anyone refer to it here.

Tonight it`s homemade lentil soup and crusty bread - have had the decorator in all week so going for the easy option

Do you have Waitrose in NI Sparkygran because that is where I get my Spice Tailor ?

Well, I've got good old fashioned cut-up stewing steak simmering on the back of the stove, with some onion, a knot stock cube, and an Oxo, just to make sure it's tasty.

And I'm about to make a rice pud in the microwave.

We ate mid-day today. Spag Bol and pear, plum and chocolate crumble and ice cream. More comfort food.

@Sparkygran - You can buy online at www.thespicetailor.com

The service is good, and they do lots of chatni and other stuff as well...

Thanks for online tip feetlebaum going to look them up. No Waitrose in NI NanKate worst luck. Tonight its lasagne and salad

I have venison casserole simmering in the slow cooker.

Can't believe Friday fish and chips day has come round again already. (Waitrose seeded cod and homemade chips) One of my favourites.

I'm on my way phoenix.

Marsala chicken (Lisa Faulkner recipe), lyonnaise potatoes and fine beans with garlic and tomatoes.

I cannot bring myself to eat a Bambi. (I know it's ridiculous)

I agree with you about Bambi jinglbellsfrocks. DH served me venison once without mentioning what it was - I ate it thinking it was lamb or something but I did think it was very sticky and then had a strange after-taste - so I said "What was that?" and he told me - then ensued much wailing along the lines of "You fed me Bambi's mother!".

My dogs have those antler things to chew on. My daughter's were horrified 'it's Bambi" they cried. The dogs don't have such scruples but I suspect the girls were more concerned that their mum didn't have enough scruples not to buy the things

I love venison and pheasant, but tonight is Mediterranean Vegetable and Creme Fraiche Puff Pastry Tart from M and S plus salad - it's a bit bland but we bought two of them and have to finish it off. I think a nice glass or so of Cava (in the small bottles) should help wash it down.

sparkygran - they sell Spice Tailor sauces in Tesco in NI - I have just been taking a look at them and think I will get some when I next do an on-line order

We're having Puerto Rican Chicken and Rice from Levi Rooots' book, Caribbean Food Made Easy. I think it's my most used cook book. All the recipes are delicious.
