Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning all, no boaty so I thought I would get us underway,

[emmie]

anyone have any plans for the day, the storm that was predicted is making it's presence felt. Blowy and not very light....

[emmie]

perhaps he is having tech problems again,

i am supposed to be meeting a friend later today for a drink,
if the weather does get worse that could change.

Morning all, a fairly wild night last night and still gusting around....not too much of the wet stuff.

My youngest sis was due in tomorrow but the ferry from the Channel Islands was cancelled so they have already landed and down at my eldest sister's - no doubt seeing them today. The middle sis is due in tomorrow evening......they're having a joint raid on the Mater's home to see her. Garden meetings for Monday and Tuesday and I was able to book the youngest sister a session this afternoon.

morning Dtc

[ummmm]

No plans. I'm going to make a big batch of Thai green curry. We'll have it for dinner and hopefully plenty leftover to freeze for lunches.

That all depends who turns up for dinner though.

[emmie]

you sound busy with all the family

[emmie]

the one food stuffs i can't eat is curry of any description, doesn't sit well with me at all

[ummmm]

My daughter is the same. I served her Thai green curry as a chicken breast in coconut sauce. She ate it.

I prefer my homemade curry to takeaway.

[emmie]

sorry can't be doing with it, i have tried over and again, all i can taste is the heat, even if it's not supposed to be hot.

Morning ummmm

I'm waiting to hear about catering arrangements and then judge things from there, a shop may well be required

[emmie]

morning Danny

morning Minty

I'm weird with my curries. I love Sichuanese and the Northwestern Indian ones, Nepalese too - I can't really stand Malaysian/Thai/ Singaporean/Sri Lankan/Vietnamese/Goan - I've worked out that it's the fish sauce that I am not very partial too. The heat is fine and when it comes to Sichuanese, the hotter the better. Eating them in Chengdu was quite an experience!

[emmie]

no chance of me eating curry any day soon, as i said i have tried them but they don't do me any favours.

[DTCwordfan]

Morning Minty xx Gusting up to 35 for you.....we're still bouncing around the top 40s and 55-60 overnight.

In Chengdu, the dining tables are more like classical British ones and not round, the two end flaps having holes in them to take the curry pots - usually a brick-red beef or lamb one at one end and then fish/offal in the other - the last meal I had up there was based around beef and for the second one, rabbits goulies....

[emmie]

i still want to meet my mate later on but this gale force wind might mean staying in, she can come over and we can still have a catch up
