"Blend", as in making onion juice?

INTERESTING

I blend shallots with the spices and a bit of coconut cream and tomato puree when I can be arsed to make a proper paste, but then I use normal chopped onions added to that in the curry.

I might try that out, saves on chopping.

My burmese Nan always used to blend the onions, garlic and ginger into a paste before frying them off. Her curries were off the hook!

I don't know why I've never done this myself.

Cold lasagne that's all kind of melded into itself itself is win. Consume with a glass of milk.

I've just munched my first pizza in longtime. Feeling very very happy.

@croft Aubergine parmigiana?http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3091674/melanzane-parmigiana

That with crusty bread to mop up and a nice bottle of wine.. Awesome.

If you want to cheat at spices use the pre packed spice mixed from Shan or National. Old Indian ladies use them with no shame.

Food that doesn't taste better the best morning: souflée.

But to be honest, I had to think long and hard to come up with that.

if you have left over souffel - chances are it didn't taste particularly nice when it was warm yesterday.

Cold roast lamb the day after makes me gag. Still eats it though.

cold meatz, cold roasties and cold gravy. all day long.

Yer, cold lamb is the black sheep of the delicious cold meats family

Pun not even intended, but pleasing

lamb, and sperm, both better ingested warm, don't reheat well

I'm gonna go with fennel gratin, in a square white casserole. Eat that the day after and cold.

I like cold roast lamb bits. And I don't like hot sperm.

yeah but, fennel, yeah?

i read that as 'lamb tits'.

/ i DO like hot sperm!

name ONE

Did.

fennel yeah!!

and LOL at lamb tits.

I'm selling a cycle related cook book if anyone on here is interested.

'Sopa caliente' where I come from...

Free chilies...
I brought some Trinidad scorpions (1.4m scoville!) back from the deep freeze in Devon. And 1/2 a bag of chocolate habaneros.
Pick up near edgeware road. Pm me.

The Chocolate Habaneros have a delicious flavour whilst bringing some serious heat. Still haven't been brave enough to try a Scorpion, but I've been told they're tasty enough if used in moderation.

I got the Jacob's Creek wine case today, with "instructions" on how to throw a dinner with wine pairing.. Now I am debating wether actually doing the dinner and hashtagging a couple of pics or jus drinking the wine and forget about them

Who posted the link to begin with? Was it @mands?

Also, prawns feast didn't happen last sat, postponed to who knows when.. But I still gave it a go to my first curry, only switched to chicken tikka masala.

All fine except too much spices for the amount of sauce I made, especially too many cloves. 6/10, satisfied for a first attempt.

Also, yogurt recommendations?

sorry gio, that is not chicken tikka masala

as for the jacobs creek barossa, make a steak jus reduction with it, god knows that's about all it's good for

Yes, I went to the (free) dinner they threw for the launch, was really good and fun. So much wine.

I'm going to throw a dinner party with wine pairings, it's gonna be fucking awesome.
The reserve wine range is actually a big step up from their regular range, no idea about the price, haven't looked it up.

Comments about it please, they are always welcome! I mean constructive ones.. :)

Yeah I am not expecting great things from those bottles either
