AS well as preparing the dinner we had (see the supper thread), yesterday I made Chinese Spiced Apple Chutney and a batch of Sloe Jelly.

Just need to finish off using the mountain of toms that we got from my parents, now. Shall probably make up a batch to tomato sauce and freeze it in batches ready for use through the winter as soup or in Spag Bol etc.

cook em down with mustard oil, 1/2 kilo toms - mustard oil for frying 1 teaspoon mustard seed - 1 teaspoon cumin seed - 1/2 tea spoon turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder - 2 green chillies sliced - 2 cloves garlic finely chopped - 2 tablespoons brown sugar - 2 teaspoons salt - 1/2 cup vinegar - 1/2 cup oil

Steam tomatoes till they become a pulp. Heat the mustard oil and fry the mustard seed, cumin, turmeric, and chilli powder till the mustard seeds begin to jump. Add the tomato pulp and the rest of the ingredients and cook gently till the oil comes to the top. Serve cold. This will keep for a few days with the oil on the surface but a lot longer in the fridge, double or triple this it is very, very moreish

Maybe someone, like me, is trying to deal with a tomato glut.

Kim · « **Reply #1032 on:** 06 September, 2014, 04:22:25 pm »

Mince glut, but same principle.

Learning to curry properly

Eating curry properly

I see what they did there:

The irony is not lost on Ben Calhoun, one of the show's producers, and ring-leader of the segment, who notes:

And I think this comment sums it up quite nicely: "Whether it's calamari or Japanese anime porn, the same rule of thumb applies: demand tentacles."

I have too much CAIK.

This ought to be impossible, but we held a garden party for the block of flats (celebrating its 50th birthday: one of the original residents survives) at the weekend. Eight eggs was definitely the right size of cake to bake, but I'd estimated for a child eating twice as much as an adult and they barely touched it. And none of the parents would take any away for later, either.

I've been left with about one and a half ordinary cakes' worth all for myself, and it won't keep forever. The Beloved Stoker has been working such crazy hours that she isn't here to help.

It's terrible.

Slice it, wrap the slices, freeze them. Once they're frozen, post them first class to me.

I do not know whether it was the rolls, the cold meats or the cheez that contained the crack cocaine but I've just nommed the whole bloody lot.

BURP!

Our local fish and chip shop is Very Good. Dez went there to buy his dinner yesterday evening. I now have another reason to admire them.

The customer in front of Dez asked for "fries". As one, all the staff chorused "We don't sell fries!" and one added "if you want that sort of rubbish, go to MacDonald's."

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #1046 on:** 12 September, 2014, 10:37:24 pm »

I, on the other hand, have just polished of a packet of choklit chip cookies.
