old fashioned chicken curry

Davis, Brenda and B-Jamin arrive after lunch, and despite having two grumpy under-twos sleeping in a small, two-bedroom flat we manage to make a good stab at recapturing the glory days of Tewkesbury weekends.

The boys manage a mini-game of golf, and then the girls go for a bottle of wine by the river. Whilst they're out, Davis and I create Atul Kochhar's Old Style Chicken Curry and drink beer. The girls come back, we eat curry, drink wine and beer and some people (with boobs) eat two packets of chilli chocolate.

No babies wake up. Until 4am, when they both decide they're getting up.

Food of the Milos
Some crumpets for breakfast (whilst I'm having a tactical rest), scrambled egg for breakfast and then meatballs for dinner. He also had two mini-cinnamon men in Waitrose, a big pot of raisins going to the park and just a "tiny bit" of chilli chocolate. Weirdly he's not really eating many snacks these days, and lunch and breakfast are becoming more of a battle. It might be time to cut back on the morning/afternoon milk...

home style chicken curry

Friday night is curry night, and tonight we're saving money by not having a take-away; instead we've got an Atul Kochhar special from the Observer Food Monthly.

Now i've cooked this before and loved it, so I was really looking forward to it but I think the time I spent fannying around looking at chicken thighs in Sainsburys (sorry whag), wasn't time well spent. This becomes rapidly clear once i get home and discover my bone filleting isn't all 'that'.

Whilst being less 'meaty' than originally planned, it's still a good recipe and one I definitely 'Bridport'.

Food of the Milos
After two night's of culinary victories, I'm delivered the equivalent of a kick in the cobblers when I get back tonight to find a plate of pasta and cheese on the table. It seems the ana's made the mistake of saying he was going to have fish pasta for dinner, forgetting 'pasta' in milo language means smothered in cheese and not a delicately spiced bowl of smoked salmon and rice-shaped pasta. Cobblers!

A bit cold today, so racked up a warmish curry.



None saved for the milos, but maybe it's time he had his first taste?
