A southern pepper curry. Out of a packet because I'm lazy. Actually, the Spice Tailor stuff makes a pretty good curry with next to no faff and appears comprised of real ingredients. I throw it and some chicjen in the slow cooker at lunchtime and spend the rest of day marinating in my own saliva as my house takes on the aroma of an Indian restaurant.

I had a Spice Tailor freebie from Sainsbury's and wasn't tempted to pay for a repeat.
My roast dinner was pretty lazy but only the gravy granules were 'manufactured'.

Hmm. I'm a fan of their fiery goan and southern pepper curries. I think all the ones I've had have been fine – they can be bit variable which may mean they're not entirely made by machines – and certainly as good as I can make (lacking the impatience to grind up fresh spices and taking authenticity to the point of spending the following two days clutching my gut and trying not to vomit and shit at the same time), and about six million light years better than the average muck a takeaway spews out.

I always throw it all in the slow cooker and leave all day. I don't think I've ever tried to cook it as per the instructions. It's been pointed out I don't follow instructions. To be fair, I excuse myself by never reading the instructions. Life is better with the mystery.

Tonight I'm eating best before the day before yesterday cauliflower cheese soup and some pecan spelt bread that is contemplating a buttery future in the bread machine as I write. As my wife is going away tomorrow she says we can declare tonight a honorary weekend night and break out the gin. I think I have all the major food groups covered.

C'est corigé! Sadly I haven't the facilities. I do have a cool shed under a beech tree, but it's still too warm and damp in Somerset. Interestingly it wasn't flies circling me this evening while I was prepping the deer. It was wasps!

Last night was Doro Wat (Ethiopian chicken curry). And for lunch today. And ther a still some left for tomorrow.

Tonight there were some steaks. But I get bored of frying them and serving with the same stuff all the time so tonight I cut them into strips and we had beef in black bean sauce.

Lamb stew. I set it simmering nice & early, being at home (work early today: "Can you do this by 17.30 Tokyo time?" "Hai, Kyoko, I can do it"). Home-grown veg chucked in, whole peppercorns (luvverly bursts of flavour). Tender & tasty. 

Mrs B is taking leftovers to work for lunch tomorrow. She's left enough for me.

A day of running round after toddlers called for a lazy meal, so stuck a supermarket beef pie in the oven, and made some root vegetable mash and greens. Beer alongside, anna panna cotta to finish.

I am stewing diced beef with tomatoes and vegetables.
This lean mix migh help compensate for last night's rich curry.

There was some rather nice-looking pork shoulder at £5.99 a kilo in Waitrose this morning, so that is what we are having for dinner. Roasted taters, carrots & parsnips with cauliflower.

Sadly, the meat has no proper crackling on it but a sheet of artificial crackling that has been glued on, and didn't seem to respond at all to being bunged in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 9. I don't know why they bother with that crap.

Just stuck some shin beef, veg, and the best part of a bottle of red in the slow cooker; am thinking I'll go Italian this evening and serve it with polenta, bitter greens, and with some gremolata on top.

A pass through the supermarket's reduced aisle came up with rainbow chard and calabrese and romanesco broccoli as sides and lemon tart for dessert. Reader, it was utterly delicious.

Pizza or gammon depending on which has the longest date.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Tonight's repast will be grilled pork sausages (our butchers own mix), grilled stuffed (with onion, garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs, drizzled with olive oil) portobello mushrooms, and buttered leeks.

We had 'I've found this in the freezer and we ought to use it up before I start to fill the freezer up again for Christmas' chilli. It was pretty good but I have a feeling the reason it was in the freezer in the first place was that we didn't think it would make a complete meal for the two of us so we may be hungry later.
