  • Tonight we will have the festered remains of Last Monday's 4 day 'Fire Alam Testing' curry. (Home made Chicken and Mushroom Korma). Freda says they taste better the longer they brew.
    Update car share diary (Reduced Petrol bill from £44 a week to £35 a fortnight)
    Get paid to watch Football, instead of paying the man at Turnstyle
    Sell another photo through the library
    Drink a gallon of Hogwash at £2.25 instead of that nice ale at £3.20
    See how much is left in money duck

    (Please note when Freddie cooks a Korma, he put the pan on heat, then places onions in. If this is done correctly, the Fire Alarm can be tested at the same time)

    Freddie's Korma
    Tub of Basics Mushrooms
    2 Chicken Breast from Butchers
    2 Onions
    Some Sweetcorn, Garlic

    Heat pan, place in garlic and Onion. Sweat until brown. Place in cubed Chicken Breast. Add Oxo cube, Tumeric, Basil, Garam Masala, Mustard, Ginger, Chilli Cummin and Coriander. Add just a little water.

    When Chicken is cooked, add contents of 2 cans of Cambells Condensed Sooup (Mushroom, Chicken or Celery). Stir and bring to the boil. Add desicated Cocunut to taste.

    Serve with Long Grain Rice (Cheaper). (Use a Little Tumeric to sate as Safron Rice)

    Serves 8 decent meals.
