Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Another lovely day down here in Cornwall, and despite large parts of the county being hit with snow, ice and frost, down by me there's been no sign of any. It's a real micro climate where I live being surrounded by water as we are.

Just about to do my Saturday fantasy football, super six and betting. I'm in the middle of a racing slump at the moment so for now am just doing the ITV 7 and my money back bet and see how that goes. The last 2 have both gone down despite being clear favourites, so I haven't bothered doing any other bets. Hopefully I'll reverse the trend today.;)

Posh sausages out of the freezer for my lunch and leftover braised steak and onions for tea. A lazy day beckons.

Hope you all have a good weekend folks and that it isn't spoiled by the football. Life's too short.

Never heard of Zanzibar curry powder Anj, but googled it and came across a recipe for the spice mix, all of which i have in my spice cupboard. So I'll give it a go some time. Looking at the ingredients I think it would go well with a tomato base ;)

Get yourself in the mood with Zanzibar from Billy Joel, a forgotten jewel until you mentioned the curry powder.?

I usually do it with coconut milk as the base but it would definitely go well with tomato.

I could do that. I have a good supply of small coconut milk cans but I think I'll try the tomato first though. Was thinking of making a job lot that could do me 2 or 3 meals and I've always found that any curry with cream or coconut milk isn't great reheated after being in the fridge for a few days. Never tried freezing it, mainly as I thought the same would apply. When I cook with coconut milk (usually Thai or Malaysian curries) I only make enough for 1 serving.

But I have lot's of whole spices and it will give me an excuse to use them as they lose their potency over time. Once I've dry roasted, ground and mixed them they should last for 3/4 months in a store cupboard.

Sounds delicious. I'm well impressed with your dry roasting and mixing!
