Let's be honest how many people would choose Sex over good food? No one I've asked. Seriously. Maybe sex would be there somewhere, as in dining from a luscious buttock, or spooning dumplings off an ample tummy but a half decent meal wins hands down everytime...anyway, Paul, my housemate, made a delicious Vegan curry last night. :-))
Again winter root vegetables were cast, in yet another versatile role...this time sauteed in olive oil, coriander powder, a Hot Durban curry mix ( Mother-in-Laws-Tongue), Masala...and dollops of Peanut Butter!! Some veggie stock...(although I would have added half a cup of coconut milk) and salt and pepper to taste.My cellphone camera could not do the meal justice so we turned out the lights in the kitchen, Paul shone a torch on the "display" and voila! This was so delicious, served on plain white rice...not Basmati, that I scoffed 3 plates!! I would have gone for another one but couldn't fit in another rice grain. I don't know if it was the divine combination of fragrant, spicey curry and a really full stomach but I was suddenly fully charged and knocked off 3 paintings in one sitting...Paul followed suit, and loads of fun was had by all!!
