Your whole day's menu is looking really yummy Shrimpy. Add some chopped green chillies n corriander into your Keema to help lift the flavours if you feel something was lacking. All sounds great to me though

Yes but make sure you brown them off in a non stick pan & fry light first otherwise it will go horrible n slimy if you add it to the curry as it is.

I was his first girlfriend so I trained him well! LOL. The only issue I have with his cooking is he's sometimes a tad too generous with the chillies!

Your curry and rice sounds lovely! Personally I can't stand okra (sorry Lady A!) but apart from that her recipe sounds yummy too!

Btw I'm now addicted to Jaccs coffee, not sure whether to thank you or hate you for it

Hello, been reading your diary with interest after happyhealthy's glowing recommendation I'm impressed with the speed you lost the weight in the first place and the way you're maintaining. Hope to become a maintainer myself soon, so looking around for tips!

Think it's a RED day!!!! W00000000000000! Extra HExBs!

Dinner sounds lush as usual Shrimpy.....Do you think I could make it without the bacon or would it be too dry? I don't eat pork and Halaal turkey bacon is like a mish to find. Xx

 

[Shrimpy]

You can make it without the bacon, I stuiff the chicken boob, wrap in foil and shove in the oven, so it should be moist enough. I would add some smoked paprika to give it the smoky yummy flavour.
