DECLUTTERING - we're still checking the cupboards and shelves to get rid of anything we no longer need or want. We've also had a message today that a local animal charity is happy to take everything off us for onward resale- Result. Tomorrow I am tackling the kitchen cupboard -bowls, dishes and assorted unused items will be going the same way as books and other knick nacks etc.

Monday Triple Update
HUGE FANFARE: (have to add a Fnaarr her for Mr Brennan!!) The carpenter has left the building and the work is done. Of course now I have to spend some goodly time repainting the whole flat- that's the trouble with having work done en-bulk. So today I purchased a pot of paint and am ready to start with a bit of clearing up first. as an added bonus when he (the carpenter) found out I was an English teacher he asked if I'd teach his brother who is failing English at College. He's going to give me a call alter in the week.

TULSTIG GRUB: This evening we had a delicious curry meal. I made a fresh veggie curry, which we decided to have on crusty slices of bread with cheese on top melted under the grill. It was yummy even if I do say so myself. The only thing was neither of us could finish our plates- over the last few weeks we've both got used to eating less. Having just watched a programme on 'Five a day' food industry scams I am glad we live here and get our fresh veggies, our diet is definitely lacking in processed foods which is a really good thing.

Wow that's a HUGE fanfare you have there!
ReplyDeleteI could do with your recipe for veggie curry. It's something I have been meaning to try for a while now
Tee-Hee!!
DeleteOur Veggie curry recipe is simple- like most of the things we cook.
1 onion chopped (roughly)
oil for cooking
1 dessert-spoon (+/-) of curry powder, or mixed curry spices
Chopped mixed veggies (we use carrot, potato, courgette,)
handful of spinach leaves
cup of lentils
(cup of chick peas - optional)
Tin of tomatoes
squidge of tomato paste
salt and pepper
water
(potato flakes or cornflour for thickening)
Gently fry the onions in the oil. AS the lighten add the curry spices. Cook for another minute or two then add the juice from the tin of tomatoes. Mix to a paste then add the veggies and coat with the paste. Cook for a minute or two and add some water to cover. Add the spinach leaves and pour the chopped tomatoes from the tin on top, followed by the lentils (and chick peas if using. Squidge in some tomato paste and enough water to make sure everything is just covered. Leave to cook through, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't stick or burn.
Once all the veggies are cooked through and the lentils are softened add just enough potato flakes (or cornflour) to thicken the sauce. Eh voila.
Simples ;-]
