Living on next to nought - is that the key?

Now tonight when getting DD's pj's I found a crumpled fiver on her bed.

Is or isn't that road kill?

I mean I know it started as mine, but it was clearly 'lost' on there.

Pippi - I'm not suggesting for one moment your DD has been down the joke shop and invested in a 'rubber fiver', but you can either give it up now.... or later, as something will need a 'fiver' sure as eggs is eggs :rotfl:

Or multiples of that said note knowing my current DD's habits.



And tell me from where did you source chipotle powder. I found some sauce of said goodie but never seen the powder and the sauce is 'xpensive.

And dinner, as always looked lush. I have to say - I walked past a charity shop here yesterday and there was a basket of neeps by the door for sale. Sure sign things are utterly in season eh!

smoke and heat - that's a winner.

I love the sound of chipotle too ... and Greying, the research you do on your recipes is amazing - you really could write about food yourself professionally. Lovely stuff

I second that you write like a food historian.


(Train stations are good places for roadkill I found £2 yesterday)


DO you have a recipe link for your flatbread at all-id like to try it to have with some yellowsplit peas (made into a humous type thing) which have been in my cupboard for a few yrs.

Good Morning :hello:

Wow visitors!

Am running late this morning, but for those interested in the chipotle powder, the product I bought is THIS one. I paid about £1 more, and bought it in a shop, but then you have to pay postage to get it from these guys #swingsandroundabouts. 70g should last a while though.

Flatbread recipe;

200g plain flour
2tbsp oil (I use sunflower, but veg or olive work too)
1/2 tsp salt
100ml water

combine all the dry ingredients.

add the oil to the water and gradually stir into the flour. You may not need all the liquid to form a stiff dough.

divide into 7 pieces.

Heat a frying pan until hot (no oil) whilst you roll out the first ball into a disk to about 6inches in diameter.

Place in the frying pan. Heat until the dough begins to bubble and the bottom takes some colour. Turn over and cook until the second side takes on some colour. Transfer to a plate and cover with a teacloth (keeps them supple). Repeat.

*add in any spices you would like to flavour the dough - appropriate to the recipe.

HTH cocalls.

Pippi - how much were the neeps at the charity shop though? The soopermarkets are charging crazy prices down here - £1.50 a kilo!

Today will hopefully be NSD.

Dinner this evening is going to be 'Palak Paneer', a spinach curry with paneer cheese. First time of making it so wish me luck Any cooking tips readily accepted

Have a great day one and all.

Thank you so much for stopping by, reading and commenting. I do appreciate it.

See y'all later.

Happy Friday GP & friends.
Let us try to make every day count

thanks for the receipe i'll try it this week end good luck with the cheese!

Are you using shop bought paneer or making your own Greying? If shop bought, please be aware that the cakes of rubber they call paneer in the shops bear very little resemblance in texture to real, soft , crumbly paneer. They don't taste too dissimilar though. Making paneer at home is a bit of a hassle though, squeezing and straining to solidity takes time. Hope you enjoy it however you make it - I love the dish myself!

Hen, sheesh what are they charging doon there. A decent neep might set you back £1 at most (unless I'm being all do-eyed about neep love up here)

The charity shop ones I'm sure were 50p each.

And mind its none of your hail stone sized neeps here. We have proper giant neeps like the story.

I could probably post you them cheaper.

PS thanks for the chipole info I will look in the magic shop here before I commit to mail order
