villa4europe Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) For me personally I put in twice as much cumin as I do turmeric, so 1 tsp turmeric and 2 tsp cumin sounds about right, probably then 2 tsp garam masala too There's then also so weird science thing that I don't understand where there's a load of good stuff in turmeric and if you cook it with proper cracked black pepper your body's absorption rate sky rockets Edit - the 2:1 ratio is for everything not just robs curry! Shakshuka etc is all the same Edited August 11, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cumin in my cupboard is 4 years old and I ain't gonna be using them pair! I do need to use fenugreek more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit I forgot both the methi and the asafoetida... Because I've run out of both. A restock at washwood heath is already pencilled in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 First home game of the season tomorrow and we appear to be getting the old band back together. Tough times last season and a few people lost it a bit and we had a few flounce out, a few banned from the bar, even had the tannoy announcer sacked on the last day! But lots of behind the scenes work appears to have paid off. This will be exceptionally good for the mental elf of quite a few middle aged dickheads with nothing better to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a lovely lunch in Penarth and a walk along the pier then drove on to Porthcawl. Porthcawl is really beautiful, especially Rest Bay. The beach is great. About to go into town and have a look at the harbour before heading back. I love Somerset but you drive the same distance in England and you get to Watchet which is nice but it has what I call coco pop milk sea. Here it’s got a blue tint to it. Gorgeous. Squint a bit and it could be Devon or Cornwall. Looks like I'll be in Bridgend next weekend. Not a clue what to expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a clue what to expect Go to Rest Bay, dinner by the harbour, go to Ogmore castle and the sand dunes near by. Coney beach wasn’t my thing, it’s your typical cheap noisy gaudy amusements/family beach zone. Edited August 12, 2022 by Ingram85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
