Dave Gilmour is mint. Went to see the Australian Pink Floyd the other week (again) and they are mint.

You just completed your payment.

Ordered. I'm essentially looking forward to the balti dishes, which I can't source locally.

Just watched Ade in Britain, he was in the kitchen watching a Balti being cooked in the first ever Balti house. 
It'll be on ITV player later or in a day or so.

QuoteAde in Britain
Series 2, Episode 18

Adrian Edmondson travels to the West Midlands to discover how overseas cuisine has influenced our tastes in the Balti Triangle. He visits a pork scratching factory, learns how to make goat's cheese and has a spin in a handmade British sports car.

He also does Kedgeree at the end of the episode. MMMmmmmm.  Missus makes it quite regularly.

This is a favourite with my lot.

Being married for quite a few years now, I've sat many a time in a restaurant whilst the missus is reading the menu like its the latest thriller and sending the waiter away because she hasn't decided. Eventually he comes back and its Mixed Kebab and Chicken Ceylon yet again. 

There is something about women and coconut curries. 

You obviously don't know my lass.  ;D ;D

Reading that list of ingredients for the haggis and it just sounds like Haggis Heaven to me.

Tonight's effort and a request from the missus as its her favourite, was Chicken Ceylon. Using CA's base and recipe, I made a double amount and instead of using all coconut powder, I used half powder and used some creamed coconut (about an inch of block). Verdict, the best I've done yet and was as good as a TA one. I made Pilau rice but put a tad too much ghee in which means it should be perfect next time. Anyway here's the photo. Looking at the colours it should look a little darker.

Brilliant. That's what I've been doing wrong

This is more me, music, smoking jacket, cravat, glass of wine, pipe and slippers.

Watch the 3 part videos from this guy, he knows what he's doing, this is part one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Teh0Cw84QGQ

He explains in this video or the second part how the blade goes when not-sharp, I think it was him who also said that the honing steel doesn't sharpen, but align the blade.

He also says you CAN sharpen on a diamond rod. Not a steel. 

Correct, though I've never seen a diamond rod, I only have a steel one...

I have a steel, although its aluminium, covered in diamond dust if that's the same thing. In fact its one of these which I inherited from my mother who could give Lakeland Plastics a run for their money with the amount of kitchen gadgets she had. Anyway it worked well but is now showing signs of wear.
