I totes forgot to make the saag paneer, but it was all good regardless and I sent them home with leftovers. And a massive basket of veg, including at least a kilo of beans and about thirty tomatoes. Happiness all round.It's blazing hot today (I'm sitting in my office with door open, window open, and a fan blowing across a box full of ice). But we are having friends over for dinner, so I have instructed my partner to turn on the a/c, and I am making tandoori chicken, saag paneer, spiced meatballs, and rice, and reheating some of my freezer stash of lamb curry and veg curry. Before our friends leave the house I will ply them with bucketloads of my excess beans and tomatoes, which are accumulating in truly frightening quantities.
thanks!@Unimportant I hope you don't mind that I'm living vicariously through your cooking descriptions, it all sounds so delicious! I wouldn't be able to eat a bite of it though, having a bit of an easily triggered tum as I've gotten on in years--even paprika is too much for me anymore But having sampled and cooked all of the dishes you mentioned, albeit in the far past, I'm wafting around the room on the currents of spices I imagine floating through the air as you're stirring up all those delectable dishes
Oh, what a great idea! I'm making split peas soup tomorrow. Just need smoked sausage. And carrots. And cream.Tonight is split pea soup I made yesterday, grilled cheese sandwiches with Wisconsin Colby on 12-grain bread. I'm stuffed just thinking about it. There will be lots of soup left. I find it too heavy for lunch, so maybe as part of dinner later this week?

You are dead to me, Judas. D E A D. I hope Washington DC falls on your head and destroys you.. I also leave out the tomatoes because tomatoes are vile (Scientific name: Evil redfruitius).
Ox liver? Calf? Lamb? Chicken?Liver with bacon, onions & sage
I want a BLT so much now. Alas, fresh-picked tomatoes are several months into my future, and store-bought are awful.Gah. Between ripping out tomato plants, weeding, planting out brassica seedlings, making bread, making bagels, critting a story, skyping with the ailing geriatric mothership, and skyping with responsible sibling about the mothership, the day got away on me. Lasagna has been delayed till tomorrow.
Tonight will be BLT sammies.
This would be a sad indictment on my wifeyness, but bacon makes up for a multitude of sins.
ETA, not my finest moment, though. Bread straight out of the oven is fiendishly difficult to slice and does not make ideal sammies. Still, bacon. Tea was okay but not brilliant, especially since we had dinnus interruptus in the form of our #@$&@# dog catching and trying to kill an adolescent chook.
Beef. Hubby's brother went in on a quarter of a cow and the liver was included. My father-in-law asked me to cook with it.Ox liver? Calf? Lamb? Chicken?
