Well done, imagcq - the plural, although accurate, was misleading (I wanted to use the Strauss opera, but the spelling is wrong).

Don't judge how difficult your 4@4 is by my lack of success today. Unfortunately I haven't had time to give it any serious thought. I do enjoy it, though.

P.S. I had better stop too. Slight cooking crisis. I substituted sweet potato for carrot in a recipe, and it has unbalanced the cooking times, so some remedial work required.

Thanks to everyone - see you in a fortnight I hope (for those who didn't see the other thread, I'm away on holiday next week.)

Thanks to everyone who played Cheers All!

Happy holidays Chris!

Thanks imagcq.

The dish is getting back on track!

just checking back in ---- what have u got tonight chrise? I am doing a beef stew with peppers and lentils --- and a few spices x lush

Hi bobs mum
I'm doing two dishes from Gordon Ramsays's "Great Escape" - chicken (turkey actually) badami and sambar ( that's the one that I had the timing problem with - I had to fish out the vegetables that were cooked to leave the others to cook further).


I'll let you know how the tasted, if you like.

p.s. yours sounds good (cat on lap, hence lower case only!)

So far the meal smells good ------ i can almost smell what u have cooked up --- let me/us know how it goes-- i am not working t a recipe tonight -- just what's in the fridge being a Monday

Hi bobs mum

Annoyingly, I had written a reply, but my connection crashed.

They all liked the sambar - it was a warming, reassuring sort of dish - squash, aubergine, sweet potato (should have been carrot) and dal, with unusual spicing (lots of toasted fenugreek).

The badami I've done before - it works as well with previously cooked poultry as it does with raw, so great for leftovers.

How was your spicy beef?
