We’ve not idled time away during the latest lock out from the Sheds.
Graham & Rob have been learning culinary skills. Brian is already more accomplished than the other two. Brian’s daughter asked why he was cooking from scratch like this. Why not buy a jar of curry sauce?

Brian’s ingredients in the pot

Can you smell the aroma?
Brian’s comment, “Well this is the final result, to be tested this evening. I hope that I shall like it as there are five portions.”
Let’s hope he has a taste of success.
Graham was the opposition

Sweet potato & chicken with onion, cinnamon stick etc.

Add tin of tomato & chicken stock. Simmer for 20 mins
Graham & Joan enjoyed a dish with rice which left 4 servings to go into the freezer.
It was a medium curry with a bit of “bite” to it as recommended by Rob.

Sent by Graham’s son. The bird could be turned into a nice curry!
