Far be it for me to hijack this IWC thread with cookery, but Mrs Pugwash discovered a book of curry-house secrets. One eBay purchase and supermarket visit later and we have all the ingredients and recipes for British-style Indian Restaurant food.
Today was spent making the stages of the base, and in huge quantities. Tonight's dinner is King Prawn Tikka Masala, Fish Korma, Potato, Cauliflower and Pea Curry and Prawn Curry, all in the style of a decent curry house. It's totally amazing and I just got the Stella in to serve as drinks.
To follow it up, we're off up the hill at the end of the road to watch the French set off piles of explosives at the Eiffel Tower to celebrate Bastille Day.
All is well chez Pugwash.
