Sunday not roast!


My boys went skiing this weekend, took advantage of the late arrival of spring.  That meant that I could decide on Sunday dinner with no input! Been thinking about the Thai Green Curry with Seafood that I did some time ago and made it again tonight.   I know I have not often done this, repeated myself on this blog but things have to evolve and this one is worth repeating, it was delicious.  I found baby bok choi and so did not finely chop, as per the recipe, but quartered them and it worked out well, and looked good.  Alan did not love it, but I'm sure he had his taste  buds primed for a roast dinner so no matter how good it was he was not going to be happy!  It was also probably a touch too spicey for him, but when you cook with fresh chilies it is so difficult to control the heat exactly.  I would have been ok with a bit less heat but thought it was excellent as it was.  I also cracked the first bottle of rose wine for the season, come on, it was a sunny day!

Back to the 2 of us



Quiet Saturday night and a fridge full of bits and pieces to use up. Combine that with Dave mentioning Spanish fish stew last Wednesday resulted in this fish soup/stew. Looked for a recipe on Epicurious and came up with this: Seafood 'Cataplana' with Saffron, Vermouth and Sorrel. Used it as inspiration really, added a portobello as it was in the fridge, a jalapeno, because I was in the mood for something a little spicy, and a big cheat, had chicken stock in the fridge so used that instead of fish stock. Also had some cilantro so did not bother to buy sorrel. Well, it was delicious, probably could never repeat it!

SUNDAY - THAI GREEN CURRY WITH SEAFOOD




Caught my eye in this month's Bon Apetit and it wasn't bad at all, Joseph said 'restaurant quality', praise indeed - and he and Alan had seconds. I thought it was ok but there is room for improvement. Click here for recipe.
