If Mac really wanted his tea, his strategy was ineffective. Sitting in my lap as I work and purring loudly is inclined to keep me in my seat, on account of its rarity... (I should say, tea has now occurred and Barry is now sitting in my lap. Not purring, but getting magnificently in the way of my typing.)

On the question of my own tea: go not to the internets for advice, for they will say both yea and nay. Therefore I have boiled root vegetables for a hash, shredded the cabbage, and stripped the flesh from the capon carcass for a curry (it is not impossible that the boys might have had a sliver or two of flesh and skin and suchlike, during that operation). I am now confidently expecting a phone call any minute, whereby someone will invite me out to dinner and thus solve the situation entirely.

Also, I have put the capon carcass into the slow cooker with veggies and much water, to make stock for soups'n'such. You can't buy capon stock, y'know. Not even for ready money.

Also I have oiled the chopping board. And written not very much more at all, but, y'know? I don't really care tonight. My chest hurts and I don't feel well. Comfort food is very much on the agenda. Trouble is, of course, both hash and curry fall well within that definition...

Don't get sick again! You are not having a healthy winter, Chaz.

Curry...curry...curry....

Ditto! Look after yourself! Oh, and I still don't understand what jelfrezi is. *g*

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Jalfrezi is a type of curry that produces a sauce that is notably thick and dry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalfrezi). Also, the way I make it, hot. Lots of green chillies. (Tho' come to think of it, all the curries I make for myself tend towards the hot...)

Even the kormas?

[desperance.livejournal.com]

I don't make kormas. It's a prejudice (because of course spicing is not all about heat, and some of the finest curries I've ever eaten have barely been hot at all), but kormas are so promoted as inoffensive, mild, bland... Nah. Not for me. I like my curries raucous.

Ah hah! Well, that sounds a bit different. Mind you, I don't do super hot. I like mild. I am a wuss.
