Sous vide. Then a quick sear.

Chicken wings with a turmeric and salt rub. Home made coleslaw. Lickle bit of rum.

Oooooh. Nice. when the MFs were at college in America we all used to pile down to the local bar for spicy chicken wings, blue cheese dipping sauce and pitchers of Bud or similar fizzy lager drink. Utterly brilliant fun.

Breaded fish, new potatoes and salad.

Followed by Greek yoghurt. Simple food, cooked simply by sim...

Fagots and mash with a mustard gravy, timed to perfections by the current wife for the end of my bike ride

pinno

Then it seems prudent to keep her 'current'.

Mr Brains pork faggots? Mustard gravy? Mustard mash would have been better surely.

Local butcher, actually could have been the mash - who knows I was starving and consumed it with more haste than taste

They can be a little touchy on mumsnet. I think quite a few of us are still banned after the great Bottom Bracket mumsnet invasion. We had to carry MF back on a stretcher 😂 ahhh the BB golden age 😔

Guinness, home made Curry (that's been in the freezer for 4 weeks) and home made Naan bread. There is nothing quite like the smell of the Naan bread (keeping warm in the oven) from the Black Onion seeds and Yoghurt.

Just broken a 24hr fast with some homemade daal and greens.
Atthis rate I'll be the lightest person on the forum

You’ve got a long way to go. Rick Chasey weighs 25kg soaking wet

Cargobike

F@cking hell, my knob weighs more than that.

Poor Rick Chasey.

aaahhh yes, those were the days. It were like the battle of Sangin but with more eccentricity.

Although he still bears the scars MF still remembers it fondly

Yeah, but he's also very drippy so don't give him too much sympathy.

Never made it. My brother prolly has.

I'm going to give it a bash as I am assembling the ingredients for a Lamb Biryani.

Though, Curry leaves I doubt I will be able to source locally.

You should have said sooner.

I always keep a bag of curry leaves in the freezer after a visit to the local Asian supermarket for making authentic curries. They keep for ages alongside the small green, hot as f@ck chillis I buy in abundance.

pinno

I'm 90 miles from the nearest Asian market.
There's a really good one in Gloucester that I used to frequent.

Cargobike

There you go then.
Next time you "do" make it to the Asian supermarket stock up with curry leaves.
They freeze great.

It was easy, you know. Whole milk in a casserole dish, bring to the boil and turn off the heat as soon as it does so.

Then add lemon juice and stir so that the milk curdles. Let it sit for 5/10mins so it can cool. Strain/rinse the curds through a muslin cloth and then squeeze out any remaining liquid by pinching up the muslin into a ball with the curds inside. Then give everything another press on a chopping board to get any remnants of liquid out.

Then transfer to a plate and put some weight on top (a few more plates) and put everything in the fridge for an hour or two.

Enjoy!

Or buy some from the local shop?
