Looked through all my grans old handwritten recipies from nz and make Anzacs and Hokey Pokeys. Prob sound weird to you, my OH said Hokey whats.....isn't that a song??? The Anzacs are full of coconut and rolled oats so a real energy booster and the Hokey Pokeys are all done in one pot on the hob - YAY, less washing up. Anyway, 2 hours and too many biscuits later I'm glad to say the kids love em
no more shop bought for me. Am running the bath now as we are all COVERED in flour etc and could do with a good scrub :rolleyes:

Thank You!! Think I know what I'll be doing on Sunday!! Hmmm, shame dh gets all healthy and moans about eating wheat!!! oh well, more for me :jI'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are – Milton Berle0

HM chicken tikka & salad for us tonight. It's a bit cold for salad tho; I might have to crack & put the heating on. My Mum would never have the heating on before October, so I guess I've inherited that little quirk from her!
Chicken Tikka
small piece ginger
4 cloves garlic
teaspoon of chilli flakes/powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
teaspoon mint - recipe says use fresh, but I use dried & it's fine
squeeze lemon juice
small tub of plain yoghurt
Mash the garlic & ginger in a pestle & mortar, add cumin, chilli & all other herbs/spices & mix into a paste. Mix into the yoghurt, add the lemon juice & coat your chicken pieces. Score the chicken to help it absorb the flavours more. The recipe uses fresh coriander too, but I don't like it. Marinate for a few hours & cook - grill, bake or griddle.
The amounts are a bit hit & miss, I chuck it in til it looks about right. You can use fresh chilli instead of dried. Today I put a sprinkling of garam masala in too. Live dangerously! This is enough for 3-4 chicken breasts.0 -

OS today has been cleaning (well, quick flip 'round!) and bread making (in machine), bit of washing (but had to grab it in as it started to rain). This evening we ate fish & chips (home made) and peas (frozen).0 -
