Cookin again

One of our favorite places put prices up. Still cheaper than everywhere else.

A friend of mine just assured me that Japanese curry is a different beast from Indian curry. I think he's right, but it's been over twenty years since I've had Japanese curry; now I need to find a local Asian market to confirm what I've been told.

There’s all kinds of curries out there. I haven’t had Japanese ones, but I have had Jamaican ones, and they’re definitely different from Indian ones
 

Made gazpacho soup last night for dinner tonight.

Spanish Gazpacho Soup

Serves 2-4

1 lbs ripe roma tomatoes
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 cucumber
1 green onion
2 garlic cloves
1 slice of crusty bread
1 tbsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Wash your veg.

Peel the cucumber. De-seed the peppers. Core the tomatoes. Dice the veg and bread.

Throw everything in a bowl. Mix it well, cover with plastic wrap, and put in the fridge overnight.

A few hours before dinner throw the mix into a blender and puree it until smooth. Salt, pepper, and additional olive oil to taste. Blend it some more. Pour it back into the bowl, cover, and put back in the fridge until dinner.

Serve with leftover diced veg, a splash of olive oil, and some freshly toasted crusty bread.

Yes, it's soup served cold.

If you don't like the taste of cucumber, you'll want to at least halve the amount as the cucumber can easily overpower the other flavors.

Marinading some beef. Doing a beef Satay on rice for dinner. Getting colder.

Started going back to an old favorite. Not generally a fan of steak or schnitzel unless it has peppercorn sauce.

This one's mine though. Cooked her an eggs bene in the weekend, kicking her out of the kitchen tonight. No women allowed in kitchen!!!!!
 

Blast from the past.


Very similar to what we used to eat in the 1980s. Difference is our peas are not mushy and cabbage is a different colour.

Apart from that just as revolting as what we had. Big plate of food for $10 USD approx though. Beyond that horrible "shudders".

Gravy on chips. What an atrocity. Ruining perfectly good chips. Addtional evidence on my food theory.

Once we recolonize and annex the UK we'll have to show them nice food. Poor bastards.
