Yesterday I set off to the grocery store with full intention of picking up the roast pork gauntlet cast down by professor
@beeb enson a few days ago, and I do still have a nice slab of pork belly in the fridge ready for duty to that effect. But they also pork rib butts on sale. I am a huge sucker for ribs! So I decided to get some. While I wanted with myself over how many vacuum sealed bags I could fit in my back pack I saw they also had some diced pork that looked pretty good for the same price. All meat no bones? Well how could this go wrong? So no ribs, a pack of chunks and a bag full of veggies.
Anyway I had plans to go out to a local bar that does $5 pizza and $20 = 2 cocktails on Sunday nights with the intention of drinking a lot of cocktails and maybe eating a pizza. Slight sideways note - fuck those "men" who get their panties in a knot when the rum and cocktail bar they tag along too doesn't have enough beer options for them! Try something new you douche! So I didn't get to drink as many cocktails as I would have liked before going somewhere with a range of beer. Fucking yay.
Anyway I had some new whisk(E)y that needed tasting before dinner and after a bit of that I decided to make a curry!
It has 3 different types of chili, maybe like 2 soup spoons of black peppercorns, a generous (perhaps clumsy) amount of fennel seeds, heaps of garlic, 2 different types of curry powder (one from also and a Madras by Clive), and coconut cream. There's also a mix of veggies and lentils. Plus the added bonus of split peas I mistook for lentils. Oh and some butter - found an empty butter wrapper on the bench this morning when making coffee. I know the package only had about 1/4 left, so not much butter in the scheme of things and likely not something it really needed.
Between the whisky, the cocktails, rum, and whisky and then I forgot about the curry until some time this morning when I could smell it simmering away and switched it off. So now it looks half digested but tastes great. All praise the mighty slow cooker...kitchen companion to the useless!
