Mishima

So as I said yesterday, today was a bumper fun packed day. With the gym, shopping and needing to buy/swap tickets I didn’t get to clean, tomorrow, tomorrow.

Today was a bit weird though the contents of my cupboard no includes:

• Ground cumin
• Paprika
• Cayenne Pepper
• Turmeric
• Ground coriander
• Cinnamon sticks
• Madras curry powder
• Cardamom seeds
• Garam Masala
• Ground Cloves(I hate cloves)
• Rice wine
• Tamari

Now the thing is there are at least two things on that list I’d never even heard of before this morning and almost everything else I’ve never used to cook with. I think it also explains the slightly larger than normal food bill when shopping today.

Anyway the reason for this "foreign" invasion is the curry book Sarah bought me and we’ve used a few times before she left so the above are needed for some recipes I’m going to try out. I tried one today, a vegetarian one at that(Mushroom and Green Coriander Curry). Now right up until I put it in my mouth(and I had been prepping and cooking for ages) I was not very sure about this, it sounded great in the book but it wasn’t looking or smelling great(it had cloves AND cinnamon in it FFS) but I was very pleasantly surprised it was quite nice. Not as good as the chicken one I did on Monday but still now in my arsenal.

So the rest of the evening (that there is much left) will be just chilling out. In case anyone cares work email is screwed so email my Gmail or personal (bonq a/c).

Later days,
Halo.
