ikr D: but they're the nicest things everrrr
@(you need an account to see links) - That looks like a very healthy, hearty meal. Ours tend to be a little more greasy and fattening. Pretty much the items Essy listed. c:
The goose fat potatoes do sound a little strange, but it's not unheard of to use animal fat for cooking. For example, the trick to perfect refried beans is actually bacon grease, lol.
Its not very traditional but I will be making a nice curry , xmas dinner ect will be at my mums. Im veggie so im kind of limited..
I use:
Madras curry paste
Red lentils
1 X birds eye chillie (crushed)
1 can tomato puree paste
Check Peas
Sweet corn
1 X caramelized onion
Cumin
Onions
Tumeric
Chillie powder
ground ginger
This shit fills you up and keeps u warm in winter ;D. I am hoping to get a slow cooker after xmas still experimenting trying to find the perfect curry recepie xD.
Now I live on my own im actually trying recipes ect rather than just throw something together out of a jar. I want to try some cakes ect soon brownies are like heaven to me.....

That sounds heavenly. I love chickpeas, and I actually have a chickpea curry recipe I use....

^ I use this as a base, but pretty much triple the spices and add stuff until it tastes right, haha.
The corn is a nice twist. I must try that sometime! And I feel your pain on the moving out. I seriously miss the home cooked food I once took for granted. Now my mom's chicken curry is worth its weight in gold to me!
It's good that you're trying to get in the habit of cooking instead of just eating whatever frozen/jarred crap you can buy off the shelves. When I first moved out that's what I did, because I was busy, lazy, and hated cooking, and I gained about 15lbs (that's a lot for me seeing as I'm 5'0) and I felt horrible! I had no energy and I just wanted to sleep all the time.
It took a while to lose the weight and start feeling normal again. Glad you're not even going to go there.
As for cakes and brownies, have you tried boxed brownie mixes? They're actually quite good and very easy to make!
That recepie looks great got almost every ingrediant too. I have some tinned new potatoes I have had no idea what to do with now I think about it would make a nice ingredient for a veggie curry. Going to give that recepie a shot just need to add some masala to my shopping list and im ready to go
For brownies I have not tried anything not even the box mixes I will probably start with that as I am severely lacking decent cooking equipment right now I got the basics but I still neeed trivial things like decent baking trays , measuring equipment ect. Getting there though!
I made cake pops yesterday. The first batch of candy I melted failed so hard. I don't know what happened to it. It got super hard. 0.o
But the second batch I put in the double boiler, and it turned out great. When I put them in the fridge to solidify them, I thought they'd gotten like rock hard too, but they didn't. They were perfect (except for the fact that they looked a mess) and they tasted fucking amazing. For a first try, I'm happy with them. I might have used too much icing. I'll have to give it another go at some point.
I had Christmas with my grandparents today (my mom's side of the family) so that's where I was all day today. I got this recipe container that had like 99 hershey chocolate recipes inside. I told my mom I'm making like every single one of those before New Years. We have this ranch (basically a deer lease, but we actually own it, not lease it) out near Lampassas (if you've ever heard of that town and so not sure if I even spelled that right lol) and my aunt wants us to go there for New Years. We generally have family + a ton of family friends head out there on New Years, so the stuff would definitely be gone in a decent amount of time.
My mom makes this dip... It's called Texas Caviar. I'm not entirely sure what all goes in it, but it's amazing. I know it's bell peppers, avocados, black eyed peas and ranch dip powder. Other things too, but I'm not sure what. I've never even paid attention to that when she makes it, but omfg it's so amazing. :3
On the topic of christmas food, I made my annual peppermint bark to hand out to all the neighbors and such. Good stuff, and everyone's hooked on it.
Lol, Im a terrible cook. Im supposed to make coookies with my brother later on, and he doesnt cook either... so Im not sure what they will taste like. Im thinking peanut butter cookies. Adding chocolate chips and such seems like a hassle to me
