HS I've never ate curry I may have to buy some, i'm taking it is a spicy spice? I love spicy foods most around here are through chili peppers of various types. There is a large hispanic population here so that's where our hot spicy foods comes from. I, ve spent many a day trying to get recipes out of my older hispanic friends. oh and of course my horse radish garden lol.

Contributing Member fredk Posted April 7, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted April 7, 2022 If you like chilli dishes you'll like curry. Altho its a hot spice it is different. I hate chilli but I'll eat curry Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Handstitched Posted April 8, 2022 Members Report Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Theres so many types of curry powder & pastes of different spice levels etc. . I like a nice vindaloo , a Rogan Josh or a madras which can quite spicy, but Mum & Dad can't handle the spicy stuff, so I do mild curries. Winter in Oz will be here in few months , so no doubt I'll be doing nice slow cook beef & lamb & chook curries. @chuck123wapati Curries are very aromatic and go well with nann bread and papadums , break them up, and use each broken piece as a little crunchy spoon .And just as Fredk said, if you like chilli dishes, you'll like curries. Make them as mild or as hot you wish. HS Edited April 8, 2022 by Handstitched Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members Handstitched Posted April 10, 2022 Members Report Posted April 10, 2022 I finally got to go into one of my other sheds this arvo. I have 3 sheds, all full of junk, crap. But what I was after is a ' Griswold No. 8 Waffle Iron' and a ' In-A-Minit ' vintage sandwich toaster, like the ones in the pics ( file pics) . They've been in my shed for years . I've been watching all these restore vids on youtube, and that piqued my interest. I also found out that those old No. 8's are worth a pretty penny, some I've seen around $300-$450. The sandwich toaster around the $50-60 mark. I was hoping to restore a ' Lister CS' engine once upon a time, and they were in amongst the engine parts. I only paid a few hundred bucks for two CS engines . I lost interest, and sold them got my money back , but kept the No.8 & toaster. I'll try to restore them both in the next few weeks ...or six. Simple to restore & season too. HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

HS We use cast iron for most of our cooking. yup anything Griswold is worth some bucks, I have a Griswold No 8 tite top Dutch oven, Bought at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Its a little small for cooking for our family so i use it once in a while for deep frying. That waffle iron is a real beauty. I also have a couple of those toasters in my camper lol. They are great around the campfire.

Happy Easter HS sweet!!!! hope you had a good Easter as well. lol its a chuck roast or steak here too, tough suckers unless cooked right. I have to say i studied on the curry powder and got my curiosity up so I bought some curry powder the other day and just made a bacon, onion, and cheese fritata???? with it. I used about a teaspoon of curry powder in it, everyone loved it!! That is some tasty spice mix. You can teach an old dog new tricks but getting him to remember....

HS nice hot Belgium waffles strawberries and whipped cream sound good to me!! i bought the store , kroger. brand it is about the only one here, it doesn't have all the spices names so I think I'll be testing out some homemade blends if i can find some on the net. its is a spicy blend which i really like but i cant reproduce it without all the info. if you can get Anaheim green chilis, they are very mild and make an excellent tasting mildly spicy green chili, i posted a recipe above somewhere.
