Now I've just burned lunch.

Seriously, I can burn anything when cooking.

Except salad*.















*Maybe.

Can't you just have a sandwich?

On the other hand, charcoal *is* good for the digestion...

I assure you it's most definitely not. Casa Reynard is situated a stone's throw from the Ely-March-Peterborough line.

Just driven out for a ride (I know) and went past a couple of petrol stations Diesel is only £1.19 a litre

£1.08 I've paid for diesel for the last 2 months.

Just filled up and it is now down to £1.04.7 for diesel and just below a quid for petrol.

We've used 1/2 a tank since around 15th March, only used that because the Click & Collect is 14 miles away, but we get to call around via wife's aunt who lives a few miles past to make sure she's doing okay.

I'm sleepy, rode my bike earlier today ....hardly a soul around (oh yes it's ascension day) !
Did meet one guy on a knackered old bike , he was riding up the middle of the road without a care in the world.
l'm hiding in the house windows open , shutters closed , outside hardly a breath of wind, and it is around 30c . Dogs are all sleeping in the shade. Southern French summer is on its way , better get used to it pronto .

That appears to be the remaining option...

Now they will bring in the even larger green crane to dismantle the red one no doubt.

You mean you don't have a competition to see who can get there first?

No we take it in turns

Brill! Glad it's a recipe that's going to get some mileage chez Maison Woodbutcher. Incidentally, that's what I'm also having. Just need to make some naan bread to go with it.

I would just lay the fish fillets on top of the curry, put the lid back on and let them steam gently, maybe basting with pan juices halfway through. If you leave the skin on, they're less likely to break up.

Or else, poach the fish in a separate pan in some vegetable stock and coconut milk (or creamed coconut) with a few curry leaves and a pinch of turmeric thrown in for good measure. Then serve the fish on the side and put the pan juices in the curry.
