Happy Half-century Michael ;D ;D ;D ;D
Some wonderful gifts there. I wonder which will turn out to be your favourite ::)
All the best from someone else who is now officially "over the hill" :-\

Thank you CH
I think the thought of being Fifty is worse than being fifty If that makes sense :-\ :
On my actual birthday my wife took me to the Imperial War museum I think she was taking the pee
But ended up at the Connaught hotel for cocktails very plush 8)

Happy belated Birthday Michael, all the best. Some excellent presents there, especially cooking at the Indian, which restaurant is it?
-
Thank you Madrasandy
Its called The Blue Junction in Morden
Not Bangladeshi but very tasty It has a big Indian following
I will have a close eye on the tandoori lamb chops and to see what base they use ;)
-
Looks very contemporary, not a Vindaloo in sight and some very nice sounding dishes on their evening menu. Look forward to hearing about your experience.
-
nice one Michael sounds like a lot of thought has gone into choosing your presents - enjoy!
-
Thanks SL
They were all surprise presents so very lucky to have good friends :)
-
Belated Happy Birthday from me. Looking forward to hearing about the cooking.
-
Happy Birthday, the Ginger pig is an awesome butcher albeit a tad expensive.
-
Have a cracking time and make the most of these wonderful gifts. Wondering if my wife has thought about this kind of gift with my bday around the corner. Hmmmm :)

Hi MT
Many Happy Returns, great foodie presents, very lucky indeed.
Only 50, a bit young for this Dads Army Curry Club ;D ;D
cheers Chewy

you deserve to have such fun sir. well pleased for you.
i still have work to do on my wfo. one has too much top heat and the other too much bottom heat.
my good lady has put foot down "through" kitchen structural work for this year.
getting the dough right is half the battle on wfo too. i've hidden a gas oven in my garage and hoping to get to that at some point too.
very best wishes,
-
Thanks everyone :'(
Cheating on the wfo Jerry I have brought a modular one from the oven stone bake company mezzo 76
Have just built the base and now looking at insulating it Not cheap :o

Just to let everyone know my night in the kitchen was unfortunately cancelled
My friend who organised the surprise Dad sadly passed away the day before
She did say go ahead with it but she was meant to be one of my guests who I was going to cook for and I know she would have loved to be there
So it will be arranged again
I have been away for a few weeks I hope I havent missed too much :)
Cheers Michael
-
Sad news Michael but I'm sure it will sort itself out for another night. How did the other presents go?
-
Been so busy Holidaying the last few weeks I haven't arranged dates
Apart from the pizza making which happens the middle of next month :)
-
Sorry to hear that, Michael.
Nice to see you back nonetheless :)
-
Thanks Garp
Its funny how you do miss the banter on here when your away :)
jbs curry base looks interesting
And tonight I made Scottys Singapore noodles which is a family favourite ( quick and easy )

Hello Michael. Could I ask, Where did you obtain the Malaysian curry powder which is called for in the Singapore chow mein recipe? This is one I'm struggling with

I got mine at my local Chinese cash and carry.
-
I use Ferns hot curry paste instead
-
Jimmys sate is the must have
-
Hello and welcome back to the forum ;)
-
Thanks guys
-
any mild madras curry powder will do. White pepper adds loads of heat. Malaysian curry powder for curry paste to make a sauce. Yeo's 50gm is smallest I can find

Had my Pizza evening course on Friday in London Marylebone lane
Wasn't expecting too much as it was for only an hour and half
But it was worth the effort our dough balls were already made up because they obviously need to prove
The pizza chef made a dough up to show how they were made ( 00 flour water salt and Fresh yeast)
All standard stuff really
The tomato sauce was simply blended canned Italian toms lots of salt bit of olive oil and dried oregano
We all made our own pizzas He couldn't emphasize enough spread tom sauce thinly and less is more with ingrediants 2 or 3 toppings
we were using domestic ovens and the best tip was you don't need a pizza stone just turn your oven trays upside down and slide your pizza on top to cook on
Im not a huge pizza fan this was a present for me because Im building a wood fired oven in my garden at the moment so it was handy gift
Cheers Michael
-
Sounds good Michael. I'm definitely going to have a go and the upturned baking tray would be a good start. 00 flour indeed, whatever next..... train sets? ;)
