Is there anybody out there?

[Onions]

It is a bit, isn't it?

Yes but I can see the tumbleweed blowing across the screen.

Hey gang, I’m still cooking and coming here for recipes regularly.  Taz base giving me the best results I’ve ever had.  Hope everyone’s keeping well.

Someone helped themself to my PC during Lockdown part 1.

No idea how they hit a time when nobody was in except three of the household are essential workers, so just me.  Took me a while to get up and running again.

So I decided to start back at the beginning, recipes from 2005, a little slow going... now, I wish I had done more when I had the time... not got to Syed's yet but I have been reading all your posts recently, thank you.

Regards
Bob

P.S. Admission of guilt, I had taken a screenshot of CurryHell's Eastern Tandoori Chicken Patala (including their mix for Tandoori Masala) and printed that before Covid but without any Base recipes and only a memory of what was in the various different recipes, I didn't get close to the original more than once or twice by accident.

"Out there, looking in".  I don't remember the last time I cooked a curry from scratch.  I begin to wonder whether an interest in curry cookery, like an interest in motorcycling, horse-riding, etc., etc., is no more than a passing phase for me.  I've owned motorcycles and horses for around 18 years, and the duration of my interest in cooking curries is probably of the same order of magnitude, so I may just have "moved on", as they say.

Do you think there's an element of the 'thrill of the chase' to Phil? I mean, you spend ages perfecting your curries, get to the point, perhaps, where there's not much room for further improvement, so the interest fades?
