Its been such a lazy weekend for me and yet I wake up so early on Saturday let alone Sunday but Im not going to moan about it. Ive brushed away, shooed that foggy cloud off my head a few days ago. I feel a whole lot better now …
Since I didn’t do anything productive outside but then again when did I ever do anything productive outside apart from wasting my dosh on ridiculous things. Im going to dedicate today’s blog on what I’ve been brewing up in my kitchen for the past weeks …so forks, spoons, knives …ready ….set …….DROOL!!

27/01/10 – Shepherd’s Pie with Peas and HP Sauce
This is the second time I tried making this. The first time was back in 2004, wasn’t that successful but I reckon if I didnt make my mashed potatoe too mushy it would be perfect so better luck next attempt eh. My husband and I prefer to have this with HP Sauce and peas. I find serving Shepherd’s Pie as it is with nothing else looked too plain and boring .. Husband’s verdict – 2 servings and a clean plate !
28/01/10 - Chicken Imperial Curry with Cream Spinach. On a lazy day I would use these packed curry paste and this is one of them. Spicy indeed, enough to make you breathe out fire but what a punch! Team it with cream spinach sort of nulls the spicy level and with a glass of lassi (not pictured) soothes the burning tongue. My verdict – I like it but I wont cook it for awhile. For some reason the smell of this curry lingered at home for 2 days ….
30/01/10 – Spicy Kim Chi Ramen Noodles with Beef. I cant remember the name of the noodle brand but this is very good. The flavour is perfect and truly spicy. Soup-wise is of thick consistency. Verdict – I’ll stock these up on a rainy day!
03/02/10 – Simmered soy sauce beef with stir fried kailan and my own mix of ‘acar’. I know acar goes well with curry really but at the last minute my husband requested to have my soy sauce beef so I have no choice but to serve this acar together.
06/02/10 – Butter Masala Chicken. Again one of my lazy days of cooking where I dont have to make an effort to prepare the whole ingredients. I like to use Passage to India’s curry sauces and this one is creamy, rich (would be extra rich if you put cream which I didnt), its flavoursome and mild to the palate. I sort of miss the spiciness of curry. Verdict – Good for those who are not into spicy food.
07/02/10 – Tonight’s dinner .. my very own Beef Stew as per requested by my husband. I was going to make Lasagna but he requested for the stew so stew it is …
What was on your dinner plate ?
