HAYIT - How Are You Isolating Today.

[neph93]

I thought your office looked very cosy and inviting Paula, that might just be the lack of an Eddie though…

[Graeme]

@Madame:

Despite my best intentions, my office will probably look the same long after travel restrictions are lifted, so I shall look forward to you coming and sorting me out!

I'll have to make it over to Gosport sometime soon to see everyone. Not sure when that'll happen in the current climate, though.

Belgium's (finally) locked down…

Making a quick stew... Quorn sausages, quorn filets, onions, peppers, olives, tomatoes (canned, don't buy tomatoes during winter), passata, beans, lotsa of cayenne pepper and sweet pepper...

Other than that…

[BD81]

Damn that looks tasty

[neph93]

It does… the stew looks nice too.

While we’re on the theme this is my «fuck the virus vegan curry» today. Red onions, mustard and karve seed, sweet potatoes, lentils, chick peas, tomato, assorted spices and some vegetable stock. Takes an hour from prep to the table and will feed all seven of us twice.

10/10

Sort of snap - though mine will end up as an aromatic beef curry…..

[Giles]

And Dosa prep…

[Giles]

And, for good measure, I've decided to start making bread again.  Not sure that this one will turn out too good.  But I have 73kg of flour in sacks inbound.  I'll get better…..

[Chap]

Curry here too… Chicken and Cauliflower

@neph93:

karve seed

What are these flavour wise?

You're the reason I can't buy flour at the local shop then!

@Giles delivered to the office I hope, I want to see @AdamJ carrying 73kg of sacks across the car park 

[Giles]

Home, I am afraid.  I should have been more on the ball earlier….

Buy it in 16 and 25kg bags

Great value, great stuff....

@Giles I wouldn't put it past you to start milling your own grain at some point!

You may know it already as Persian cumin or caraway seed. Earthy, aromatic and similar to fennel seeds, but with a stronger taste of liquorice. They use it to flavour akevit and pickled herring up here.

G the bread you gifted me years ago was fantastic… Honestly: for me there's nowt better than some slices of outstanding sourdesem bread, salted butter, good cheese, and an excellent bottle of red...

@Giles if you're done with those 73 leafs of bread and want to go ahead:

Ah yes, caraway seeds - I use it with braised cabbage quite a bit to bring that to life a little
