    Cheers, there's a good few portions in that, going to need some freezer space. There's only the two of us but we'll share with an isolating friend.

    Thanks again Rorsch. My dad was brought up in India between the wars, my Grandad was an engineer on the Indian railways curry a way of life..
    We're international with our cooking often adapting recipes using ingredients from wherever in whatever combination.
    Indo/Italian baked fish fillets, marinated with Mrs Jab's homemade sambal baked to flake then dusted with parmesan and flashed under a hot grill.

    That fish recipe sounds good - I use parmesan almost as a seasoning on quite a few recipe's that wouldn't normally call for it (but reduce salt accordingly). It's really useful and adds that bit of richness. Most of what I cook could be termed fusion I guess because I love to mix and match flavours and I don't care where they originated.

    I'm much the same - being ½ Italian & ½ Indian, I tend to blend those cuisines quite a lot.

    I bought a second hand time machine next Sunday.

    They don’t make them like they’re going to anymore.

    A guy is being interviewed for a job in the civil service.
    Interviewer: Do you have any allergies?
    Guy replies “Caffeine. I can’t drink coffee”.
    Interviewer: Have you ever served in the military?
    Guy replies “Yes”
    Interviewer: That’s great, with an allergy and military service you are building plus points towards being offered employment. Now, do you have any disabilities?
    Guy replies “Whilst serving in Afghanistan, a bomb exploded near me and blew off my testicles.”
    Interviewer: You will be pleased to know that your disability allows me to offer you a job. The normal hours are 8 - 4, but you can start at 10, and consider that your starting time everyday.
    Guys says “I don’t understand. If the start time is normally 8am, why do you want me to start at 10?
    Interviewer: Well we spend the first two hours drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in your being here for that.

    Mrs Jab is Indonesian/Chinese and brings that to the kitchen together with being open minded food wise. Our experiments usually come off, very rarely end a complete disaster. She sometimes gets distracted and doubles or more the chillis. Someone with less experience of spicy food would end up with bum blisters.
    Looks like there'll be be plenty of time to throw a few ingredients together in the kitchen, better order a barrel of cooking. For delivery and contactless payment of course.

    I just have to say that if you can get Jamaican curry powder it makes a huge difference to the flavour.

    cook it for hours.

    curry goat is my favourite dish ever.

    Yes indeed we're fortunate chaps. Mrs J is doing a beef and kidney bean dish, I'll do the peeling and chopping and keep her crisp white topped up. There's a nice ham joint in the freezer that'll be baked with a chinese mixture and studded with cloves, my job, as are the tandoori marinades.

    Discipline TO1#7, discipline. We're an hour ahead here and checking we have all the ingredients, should have, we could open an emporium with what's in the cupboards.

    Went for my permitted exercise period with the dog.:emoticon-0177-toivo

    Here she's weighing up whether she should behave like a spaniel and dive in headlong and get the hosepipe when we get home, or just walk to one side.

    Lucky for her she saw sense and decided against the hosepipe.
