Val made a large vat of curry the other week and we froze what we didn't eat. Should have split it into 3 portions in hindsight as it's very filling. Onion bhajis & naan bread + rice. I like my curry hotter than Val so added some super lethal Indian chilli pickle into the curry with some less lethal (even I have my limits) on the side.
Really enjoyed it despite it being vegan  :D

Really enjoyed it despite it being vegan  :D

 :lol:  Good curry is a feast and a vegan one can hold its own.  I like dhals, potato and spinach (for which read any leafy greens I have on the plot), sweet potato and chick pea, cauliflower and coconut and there are loads more in my battered kitchen notebook.  I think it makes a difference having a long heritage of eating veggie and vegan meals way before the rest of us caught on, so the recipe library is pretty sound and well tested  :)   

It is not a vegan night here tonight though as we are having roast pork, roast plot spuds and various plot veg on which a final decision is yet to be reached :)

Tonight is much the same by request, pork chops but maybe with a plum or blackcurrant sauce. Potatoes and broccoli as veg. I'm having celeriac and broccoli soup from a Covent garden cookery book.

I'm glad those chops were reduced, they weren't worth the full price.
They were really poorly cut without that nice curved bone. It had random odd chunks of bone waiting to surprise the eater and shrapnel bits everywhere. From large pointy sharp bits and rather small pale grainy bits that were hard to see covering the chop where the butcher/hacksaw merchant cut through the bones so the marrow came out and smeared everywhere. The marrow grit was like seasoning, covering the chop. In both boxes the ones on the bottom also were not chops, they were end of the cut. So instead of the nice round eye with the strip of fat and bone so it looks like a comma it was veined through with fat and more splat shaped. I can always casserole them but it just confirms my mistrust of the chops. The Queen of Yellow Labels told me they were £1.50, just take them.

No one was injured in the consuming of the chops, they were washed and given a good if overly personal scrape / massage / fondle / inspection. Husband thought I was being weird to them when he found me dragging my nails down them to crape the marrow grit off.

Hey ho, at least they aren't hairy and got a snout or toes on them.

Last night's dinner changed. They discovered extra ragu sauce in the freezer so the chops were cooked in that. "Don't know what's different in this sauce but it's really yummy". "Extra effort" is the official line, a ridiculous amount of garlic and secret carrots being the actual answer.

Tonight's is chicken and pork rosemary casserole with mashed potatoes and carrots.
I'm having some of last night's soup which is delicious.

We had a bit of a re-run of Sunday night. 

I reheated leftover sliced pork in the oven with gravy.  We had plot spuds, beetroot, spaghetti squash and beans with it.  The spuds and squash were from the shed and the beans and beetroot from the freezer.

Last night was drumsticks with a fakeaway curry sauce over vegetable rice.
Tonight I made a huge batch of chilli. It was con carne but only 150g in a 6 portion batch, with HG beans, toms, peppers, onions, garlic and oregano. Delish served on a jacket spud (from the supermarket - mine were rubbish this year  :()

Last night was meat and potato pie with Touchon carrots and the last picking of French beans. Absolutely delicious. There was about half a portion left over which made breakfast for me after two minutes in the radar oven.
Tonight was pasta in cheese sauce with bacon. No courgettes though, phew!
Tomorrow will be whatever Val decides!
