paraxeniDamn you Anjum Anand! I'm bloody starving, I have no yoghurt or garam masala in the house, and your clearly evil new cookery programme has made me want to rustle up some delicious foods!
OK, Lisa had an incident a couple of months back, where the silly moose had two puffs on a cigarette (naughtybad!) before having a 4mg Niquitin lozenge, then came home from work. Not surprisingly she felt sick. I'd made curry that night, so her brain now associates curry with nausea. I'm sweet and kind so I've stopped cooking it, although I have been demanding frequent Chicken Badhami or Balti from the local curry house. I can't not have curry. The mere thought is anathema to me. I love that feeling at the back of my neck when I get a good, deep hit of the smell of spices and seasoning. Really gets my endorphins going.
That said, I must start making my own again. I miss it. I miss frying, and chopping my own stuff. My "Curry-aversion cure-all" (heheh, yeah, 'CACA'!) will involve making new, delicately flavoured Indian dishes, and bringing Miss Buttonseses tastebuds back in line. Anjum Anand's new progrmme has inspired me. I'd rather learn to cook new stuff than do absolutely nowt for 4 more months.
Things I will make:
-paneer - it sounds right up my alley, and too simple not to bother with
-the savoury Gujurati cake-thing with veggies in
-potato and veggie samosas
-coconut pan-fried halibut
And anything else my own (admittedly malfunctioning) brain can dream up.
Fab. "What's for tea tonight then?" you ask. Erm.. southern-fried chicken steaks and Super Noodles... Oh shut it! *hides in the loo*
