Well I HAD to!

Dear Everyone,

Yesterday, whilst shopping, I saw an, absolutely Beautiful, piece of pre-cooked beef being 'sold off'. It was marked 'Best Before 4 January'....Sorry but it HAD to be mine! It is now, in my large cooking pot, converted to curry for myself and Mike- my neighbour. It's quite a 'hot' curry with a, very pleasant, under/ after taste. I added the spices myself.... who needs 'curry powder'? I have some 'interesting' spices, in my Box, including 'Garlic Pepper' (as opposed to salt). I added Fresh onion, and mushroom, before 'raiding the freezer', for vegetables....mind you I 'drew the line' at Brussel sprouts! I'm quite looking forward, to it.

This sounds really good, AndrewT . I hope you enjoy it tonight.

I had rice noodles with mushrooms, fake bacon pieces and edamame mixed with some spices for dinner tonight. I liked it. I had an orange for afterwards.😀👍

I think everyone should eat beef once in a while. It is not completely void of nutrients. I love a good steak every now and then.

Hi AndrewT

Fantastic, I hope you and Mike enjoyed the meal, and that it was tasty with all the nice spices and veggies. It sounds great.

Dear friends,

Update, on the Curry, It was Beautiful- one of the best I have ever made. I managed, to get, all the flavours to 'Meld' together- dare I say- 'perfectly' (NOT Blowing My Own Trumpet- too much anyway!). I just served it with brown rice, that was cooked, with, a little, sea salt added. Unfortunately Michael, Wasn't impressed, with the Angel Delight- with tinned 'fruit cocktail- that I served up, for dessert. (he didn't actually 'say' anything, he just Left most of it....). Jokes apart, I'm glad, that I CAN still 'turn on' a curry, from Scratch.

By the way 'Catmad10', how about Pollock Trifle or Pork and Custard? (Did you ever watch that, truly brilliant series, The Vicar Of Dibley? One Female character, I can't remember which, used to 'Come Up With', the most vile food concoctions imaginable.)

I have heard of, a Middle Eastern, fish curry can anyone Elaborate please?

I think a Chilli Con Carne, next time....unless I make a pie.....

Am I missing something? I am not a huge believer in use by dates, but did you buy meat that was a month past its use by date? Or did everyone just realise you meant "4 February", and I am being slow?

Dear Subtle_badger,

You 'Spotted' my mistake....erm, ah....Well done🙈….. Can I confess that I HADN'T, until you pointed this out- I'm guessing that no-one else did either. However, to answer your question- No I didn't use, a MONTH, old meat! I meant, of course, 4/ FEBRUARY/ 2020.

In actual fact, the meat, was IN date when I used it...….

Thank you again Subtle_badger from a, somewhat embarrassed

Actually I was Going, to make them, into a Trifle.... but I couldn't 'Find' my recipe book🥴. I did find, the one, for Caviar Cheesecake though..... Maybe I'd better 'Lose' that one again?🙊

Maybe, we should all, Start finding THOSE recipes.... what does everyone think?😀

All 'Harmless' Fun..... and Bad Food😰 ('anxious face, with sweat' apparently)

It’s taken a lot of time and effort for me to imagine what a sprout trifle would taste like. Eew! Nasty!🤢

Could be a delicacy in a parallel universe?

Caviar Cheesecake is another I think I’ll pass on...

Pretty sure I have some dodgy cookbooks too but they’re safely tucked away in the loft. 😊

My 'Dodgy-est' Cook books I put into a Worm Hole.... Apparently those on Xanidoore1A are as sick as 'Coogogs'!
