Cooked a proper expensive tea tonight. Grabbed a pack of baking spuds for 40p and a tin of beans for 30p. Proper crispy skins too.

Ah, posted on phone, should have resized, argh

But yeah, made a genoise sponge, which took 3 times to get right. Cut into 4 layers, soaked first with lemon syrup, then a caramel, then lemon sauce. Top layer and sides were the meringue.

Currently wolfing down some fresh brown bread i made while its still just slightly warm with butter on top.... simple things lol. Personally think its the best looking loaf ive made so far.

I've just had a weeklong binge on takeaway after craving for restaurant curries again. The place I order from offers free delivery on an £18 spend, but at £8.30 each, two curries come up to £16.60.

So this time I tried adding a 'green salad' for £1.80 instead of the usual extra naan bread, as the delivery charge without that would have been £3, and this was seriously disappointing:



Not even any onion and mint dressing, just cucumber and shredded lettuce

The curry was decent though, and a second one left for tomorrow.

It's green and technically a salad.

I just ordered a small chicken shish and asked for lots of pickled chillies. They gave me about 3x the normal amount but they were all tiny, so I probably got less by weight. Bravo kebab place.

I hope that you have learned your lesson and never choose a salad over a Naan.

@Craig1981 Surprised to see you've not posted recently with places opening back up. Is Scran still shut?

Always enjoyed your posts.

What's the recipe? Wouldn't mind having a go but always fail

Looks nice, but not much of it. I could do that in about 6 mouthfuls.
