Stuff you've cooked/baked/made today

[mangocrazy]

It seemed like a Good Idea to have a thread where people can drop in stuff they've cooked/baked and otherwise made. So without further ado - here's my starter for ten: a blackberry and apple pie. Apples (Bramleys) from Tesco, blackberries foraged from bushes 20 yards away down our cul-de-sac. 2 big Bramleys, half a kilo of blackberries, 50g of demerara sugar, a thumb size piece of ginger finely chopped and approx 30g of butter. And ready made shortcrust pastry. This is a photo before I put the lid on. There may be other photos if I CBA when it's being served...

Kima.

Basically a curried mince beef with tomato + onions



* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 cup chopped onion
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 pound ground beef
* 2 tomatoes, chopped
* 1 cup frozen peas
* 1 tablespoon Masala curry powder
* 1 ½ teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* ½ teaspoon chili powder
* 1 dash ground black pepper
* ¼ cup flaked coconut, or to taste


Step 1 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. stir in onion and garlic; cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.


Step 2 Stir beef into onion mixture; cook until crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat from beef mixture.

Step 3 Stir tomatoes, peas, curry powder, salt, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper into beef mixture; cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with coconut.

Fuck the coconut. It doesn't work for me. The rest of it is amazing. Freezes well so I do a massive batch with 1kg of ground beef portion it up for later. Great with rice, with chips or as an omelette filling etc.

I've just made myself a Jack Daniels and coke (Pepsi max)

Step 1. Empty a 330ml tin of Pepsi max into a Beaver Town Brewery Psychedelic design pint glass.
Step 2. Top to the brim with Jack Daniels Old No.7.
Step 3. Imbibe at your pleasure.
Step 4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the horror of modern life abates.

I've made my wife annoyed, I can't tell you the method or recipe, but I appear to be good at it.

Made my way to the wine stash and opened the 1st bottle of the day

@Screwdriver That must be a Merkin recipe; cups as a measuring unit, ground beef, skillet... And only a single clove of garlic to a pound of minced beef...

I've thrown a load of fresh veg into a pressure cooker with various other stuffs to make a 'sort of' ratatouille!! Planning to freeze in portions tomorrow

I've also cut up a lot of fresh stuff to add to a filler mix for spring rolls tomorrow - have various meats to go in the spring rolls, so just got to 'pad out' the lack of beansprouts with some other cunchy veggies (I do have some beansprouts but I forgot that they shrink a bit if they've been in the freezer, so need some other fresh stuff to make the filling stretch as many spring rolls as I'm planning to make

Must remember to take pics - I forgot to photo the courgette choc cake yesterday!!

Never tried chocolate and courgette cake - if it's anything like as good as carrot cake then it will be ace...

I've done similar with San Miguel. Ice cold glass in freezer and super cold lager. And I always leave half inch of beer in the glass to freeze. After about 10 mins it floats to the surface, chilling that bit

Part way through the third, I do like my Beavertown glass. It's a shame the local stopped selling Neck Oil, I love that stuff.
