2 bottles of wine did it.

The chicken had bones in it. It was underwhelming. Apparently its authentic but just not for me.

So, our new neighbors next door... a Malaysian bird ... in her 50's. Win win!

Just when I thought my culinary prowess had no bounds, I now get given food for free in a tupperware - direct. Its a neighbour thing apparently.

I am very grateful but 1 instant issue. She is all about mild flavours / fragrance e.t.c. I want heat and sauce. Loads of both.

Now I can't believe I am saying this but I am about to eat a "dry curry" chicken thing she has bought round. I should be uber grateful but just feel disappointed. Not eaten yet - gonna do a full report. But I like SAUCE. Her "family" hae made it, and it smells divine - but its got no sauce.

I am prepping it with my own sides:




What a lovely thing to do...I'm jealous.

My neighbours are Pakistani and make the most awesome authentic curries, she gave us a sample last year and we’ve order at least 5-6 times from she since then. Probably more expensive than a normal takeaway, but I don’t mind as I’m supporting a local fledgling business and the food is amazing.

Can you post one of these rather than your normal fare then please?

Looks alright I suppose. tongue out

Bao buns are great, as is pork. Usually do pulled in those but love a slice of belly and they look great. My invite must have got lost in the post. biggrin

The pickle and apple sounds like it would have worked well with that.

They’ve restarted my warfarin (blood thinners) so hopefully once that’s back in range - I can be let loose …. But I think Monday at the earliest (so 8 nights total … frown

I would say the jacket potato and tuna mayo are delicious wink

Bon courage! Food actually looks pretty decent overall.

"Main menu" food is actually going to be reasonable, its regened in pressure steam ovens (big enough to live in). Relax and look forward to a decent take away!

Pan fried salmon, Jersey royals, asparagus, and beurre blanc sauce.

Two of us, but made potatoes for four, and similarly the beurre blanc - a whole pack of butter. How is it possible that we could consume a whole pack of butter?! eek

The outcome was disappointing.

Cant explain why.



Something intrigues me about your noodle(s) hehe. They look good, recipe?

Looking back through the thread for tonight’s inspiration and coming up blank. Although I saw a meal with peas…
