Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today
-
I need to make that happen. My mouth is watering thinking about it.
-
I need to learn how to make curry.
I was just thinking the same thing.
And Giles- I'll take you up on that visit/cooking lesson, eventually (if it's open to me, too). Just have to wait for the kids to get a little older; we're not ready to subject a planeful of people to loud & unhappy children for 8+ hours.
-
My children, deep underground, surrounded by several inches of brick and stone? Oh that sounds heavenly…
They're in the midst of nasty head colds- which they have, of course, passed on to Julie and me- so they're especially cranky right now. Shutting them up in a cellar is a wonderful fantasy. -

I would love that Tarka Dhal recipe G. I have a Pat Chapman version which is not bad….always best after it's cooled a bit and started to solidify.

Shutting them up in a cellar is a wonderful fantasy.Gotta shout out for the kids - Caroline is a lovely little girl, Benjamin (admittedly not met) a delightful and spirited boy - could be that Dad is the cranky one who gets locked in the cellar…
-
As long as we're not in the same room, so that I can have some quiet time to myself, sure. I'll happily be the one that goes to the basement.:)
And lest anyone get the wrong idea, my children are generally quite sweet, loveable little people. It's just when we're all sick that I (and Caroline) get really short tempered.
-
Ah, promise not to lock you in the basement (unless you want to be, maybe with large supply of Belgian beer!)
Hope you all feel better very soon - lots of love from Gosport to y’all
-
Same to you, too, Paula! By the way, my big blue bag showed up today. Three days from Gosport to Houston; not bad.
-
yum
