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.

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.

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.

Had home made burgers tonight, but I used the same ( mild)  taco mix I used before ...damn tasty ....mmmmm :) 

Wednesday....is..... curry night , woo hoo !!  Got some slow cook gravy beef today   ( aka chuck steak here in Oz....true.....pardon the pun) . Not sure what you call it over there?   It'll go in covered in the oven around midday, about 110 deg. c , , check  taste & stir and thicken sauce,  &  increase temp to 150 about 4.30pm and come out about 5.30pm  - ish  served with rice & papadums....of course, and a nice red   :)

I'll have before and after pics later. 

Happy Easter

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.

That sounds awesome :thumbsup: . 

There are  so many different types of curry  powder . Just to mention a few that I have , are: dukkah, madras, Malaysian , Vindaloo ....and so on.    You can also make your own to suit your individual tastes.  If you do just be careful with Turmeric   as it will stain  your kitchen counters, clothing etc.  maybe even leather)?)  Yet to try that. 

 Glad you're enjoying new flavours.  And yes, chuck steak ( gravy beef)  is a toughy , slow  and steady, like brisket .  Maybe as Winter  starts to set in here in Oz, I may even try a simple  mild chilli dish . I don't mind a bit of extra spice, but I have to be careful with Mum & Dad stomachs  :)

The Griswold came up a treat . Just need to find the time to actually try it out.  This thing called life keeps happening.

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.
