Saturday night is Chinese night. Beef chow mein, chicken and green pepper in black bean sauce, char Sui pork with Chinese rib sauce and egg fried rice. Sorry to say what's on the plate is only about a third of what I ate, because, well it's Chinese so you wolf it down, dontcha?!

Beautiful stuff Robin and Chewy. Nice one!

Great looking food there from Loveitspicy and Livo, how nice to see the thread back on track. Will PM you Livo 

Coming up next week from me: a curry. That will make some of you happier

Hi StuPot, what a shame you chose to post to this thread and not the photo of your curry page, another great looking curry dish with no recipe or indication of its Origen .
Also no tips on cooking the dish or your findings.
Cheers LC.

Hi LC, what a shame you continue to misunderstand the purpose of this thread. It's not for posting recipes, or to be necessarily used instead of posting curries to other sections of the forum, it's simply to post a pic of what you're having for dinner each night. No one said they have to be curries, or food you're proud of. Restaurant quality food or sparkling quality photography is not required here. Feel free to join in or....

If you lack the necessary tolerance to be able to deal with your disappointment in clicking this thread and finding a picture of something other than a curry, then I suggest the wisest course of action would be to use the forum profile options to select to "ignore" the "talk about anything other than curry" board (in which this topic is located). that way you wouldn't interfere with the enjoyment of others who are using this thread as intended.

Thanks mate!

Tasty shepherd's pie tonight, using up the leftover roast beef from last Sunday.

It would be good to hear, instead, from dozens if not hundreds of members who have frequented this forum within, say, the past five years but increasingly stay away because of threads like the 'Jospephine' one

Or the "What are you listening to" thread?? And how do you know these countless members are staying away for the reason you state?  Maybe they had at least an ounce of aptitude for cooking and came to be able to cook curries they were happy with so moved on to other challenges? Maybe it's only the members with not a shread of ability who end up stuck here perpetually, growing bitter and twisted out of frustration? Remind me, how long have you been a member and why haven't you "got it" yet? Total lack of talent?

Or maybe, as usual, you just saw the chance to start and argument and went for it, with every word of your post calculated to get the maximum number of people going?  You could easily be the real answer to why so many people stay away from this forum.

Is the CR0 dying?
I have never given this post much thought, but after the last two-three weeks of your average everyday dinners being posted over the forum
My question along the line of this thread would be, is the CR0 turning into a general food forum?

I disagree with the notion that it's perfectly acceptable because we can't be cooking curry every day. Perhaps we could get similar threads going on subjects like DIY or gardening. I think not. That's my view anyway.

Do you feel the same about his thread, to which you've often contributed? That would make you a massive hypocrite then? What a surprise.

Haha yeah of course.

Coming up later today... Another average everyday dinner

Pressure cooked ham with mashed potatoes, fried egg and a generous smothering of cheese sauce. The mash is there, I promise. It's just hiding under the egg and sauce.
