Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: diy cheap solar heater

My m8 when he lived in gran canaria used similar principle to heat his swimming pool using long lengths of water filled black hosing snaked out on top of his garage roof. Worked a dream. Every hour or so a 45 gallon drum worth of 80 deg C water would come into his pool from it.

Recorde John Torodes trip to Argentina last week. Watched it last night. They had roasted Armadillo in the street market for sale. He didn't try it!

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Akhini - anyone using it (spice tasting trials)
February 04, 2015, 04:49 PM
sometimes in my 'chemical' sphere, certain combinations produce a synergistic measurable effect i.e 2+2 = 5, not 4 as expected.
It would not surprise me to learn / find that certain spice combinations enhance one another in an unexpected taste way.

One of my favourite 'special' requests in an Indian is for a chicken madras with Keema on top.
