What was left of yesterday's casserole will be a curry by tea-time  Probably making bread later, so may also do flat-bread to go with it. I've gone off rice a bit lately

I call our onion squash "uchy coochy" squash because I never can remember their proper name! Uchiki kuri ..

Veggie curry here tonight too.  There is definitely a theme.      Rice though.

We had rice, but with spicy tray baked pork chop and veggies

Put some diced beef in the slow cooker this morning - it's still there waiting for me to make a meal out of it 

I really wish potatoes peeled and mashed themselves

Come on, it takes just a few mins to peel spuds - forget the fancy peelers, this type has served me for many, many years. https://amzn.to/2P5tYB3
You can even get a version for left handers!

Nothing is ever that simple here 

Example, and I'm sure any dog owner (especially staffie will back me up on this)  My trip to the kitchen will mean passing a currently sleeping Max, but he's not sleeping he's waiting with his eyes closed.... the cost of safe passage is at least 5 minutes of belly rubs, some ear scratching, several who a good boy's? and a tug of war contest until he wins.  Once tribute has been dutifully paid, I will be free to enter the kitchen - not alone though. Doggy biscuits are kept in the kitchen, so there can't be any reason for me to be going in other than to fetch him some. These must be hand fed 1 at a time until the biscuit after I tell him they're all gone. At this point he will retire to the kitchen doorway, just waiting.  Getting back out is equally as challenging 

Spuds were drained at 20:49 - I think just an hour was pretty good going tonight

Aubergine and beef mince curry with plot greens, spicy yogurt and naan.  I blame you lot for setting off curry munchies

It wouldn't be so bad - but the kettle is in the kitchen too 

Leftovers tonight, already plated so they just need to go ping .
