"Last night was like any other. I studied, read, was planning to watch a film and was starting to get a bit hungry. So I ventured off kitchenwards to see what I could rustle up. And then the wonderous happened. I did some experimenting, and made the best curry EVER. For all you foodies, here's my recipe. Or at least how I remembered doing it...
Ingredients: 1 aubergine, 8 mushrooms, 400g chopped tomatoes, honey, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, yogurt.
- chop up aubergine into chunks, slice mushrooms
- heat olive oil in frying pan
- add aubergines and mushrooms, fry until aubergine soft and mushrooms are looking fried
- add tin chopped tomatoes, heat until tomato juices are slightly reduced and HOT
- add generous amounts of spices, stir in
- add generous dollop of honey
- mix it all about
- serve, with any carb based item and top with yogurt.
It serves 2, and took about 25 minutes to prep and cook. If you try it, let me know how it comes out. I had it with pasta shells, which worked surprisingly well."
Hope you enjoy and modify!
A few days ago, I bought an amazing piece of crap, not too dissimilar to this:
[http://www.kristengrace.com/rhinestone_eiffel_tower_earrings]
It is so very tacky, and I love it. I think I love it most because it is the Eiffel Tower, landmark of my favourite place in the world, Paris. But I also really love it because it is just so tacky. Not really classily done like the haute couture pieces visible in various fashion houses and upmarket high street stores, but totally garish and gaudy and it looks like a bit of tin foil. Wonderful.
Contrarily, I bought some clothes of excellent quality on the same day. I guess my conscience is getting to me, after being bombarded with imagery and theory about how I am evil because I bought cheap clothes. It is true, I know. Primark are an absolute travesty, and I doubt H & M, Peacocks, or Matalan are much better but I would have preferred to have made my own decision, rather than feeling as though I had been guilt tripped in buying the organic cotton jersey t-shirts and knitted jumper from New Look and Zara today. Saying that, Primark and H and M were packed today, with people clutching bags full of their cheap finds. Not me though, no siree. The allure of everyone wearing the same thing as me has definitely passed, plus evil corporation, exploiting labourers, and all that.
