Batch making curries and pasta source is what sensible people do!^

The tiles aren't an exact match but whilst out looking for a new kitchen table it looked very close so we bought it.

I take it you mean a rice cooker? I've thought about it but it would be just another gadget in my smallish kitchen, and I find it just as easy to do in a saucepan. The missus says my pilau is better than our local indian restaurant so that's good enough for me. I got my recipe from the forum below, it's the best one I've found and the forum itself is fantastic if you want to try serious Indian cookery at home. Some extremely dedicated curry heads!

I love your kitchen. Quietly professional without being showy. Tiles ... snap I think .... although I went for "sand" coloured grouting! All of the ground floor are these tiles. Best thing I ever did was ditch the carpet!

Definitely with you on the carpet thing, we did the same tiles in the bathroom and put in underfloor heating while we were at it. I still shudder when I go into a bathroom and it's carpeted!

Our tiles were retro fit so no underfloor heating. However the pipes to the radiators heat the floor on some bits anyway ..... ^

Lamb chops today with mix roasted veg (2 packs of the piccy below) mixed up with pilau rice and some grilled lamb chops on top.

OcAdo does ours. I have a feeling we couldn't move without knowing they would deliver.

The finished plate. Nothing flashy but certainly tasty! Green sprinklies are chopped up fresh mint with flat leaf parsley.

Always a brutal meal at the Scotiabank Theatre.

Its like poutine, pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, burger, pop served for the whole family. At least we had a nice supper at East Side Marios.. kids still love the place.

Chicken & Feta cheese quiche, with a salad on the side and a small bowl of macaroni and meatballs. Surprisingly good considering it came from the canteen. Will probably have it again next week.

Beef Stroganoff with mushrooms, buttered roasted Brussels sprouts and a glass or three of a lovely Shiraz-Viognier (Terlato & Chapoutier) that I stumbled across at the supermarket, where I generally never buy wine.

I guess it was a bit of an Aussie night since the grassfed beef and wine were both from there.

Quite delicious!

Must be off menu as I didn't see that.

I'd go for the lamb gyro.

Might want to check those glasses, "Fresh Maine Lobster Roll" is the second item under "Specialty Sandwiches"

Well if you'd said "fresh Maine ....." that might have helped ...

Met Mrs BamaVol as she was finishing her tai chi class. Took her to the Low Tide Lunch. She ordered the chicken salad made with walnuts, fresh dill and celery. I had my usual: the mojo pork on a ciabatta roll with baby greens, grilled onions, cilantro & pickled jalapenos. After I got back to the office, I ate a chocolate covered peep for dessert.

Love that menu you posted CMK10. Takes me back to my New England roots. No where locally will I find a fresh Maine lobster roll or a fried clam roll that includes the belly. I like the local littlenecks steamed but can't imagine them fried - it would take quite a few to fill a roll.
