It's been a while!

I haven’t updated my blog for some time, and so I thought it was a little over due.


I will Post March and April’s movies over the next couple of days, I have no idea where the days are going to! This year is flying by!

This is only a quick note, I have decided to compile my own cook book, from recipes from friends and from the internet (the main reason is because I'm too cheap to actually buy a cook book) so with this folder I am going to cook something new and different every week.

I think I am a good cook, but I only cook your simple meals, spaghetti bolognaise, lasagne, Chilli, and curries, I want to use this time to expand my cooking knowledge and basically make me a better cook, and to expand my horizons (maybe a bit extreme, but you know what I mean)

So last week was my first attempt, and I made a spicy prawn Pilau dish, it was rather easy, and from start to finish it only took about 30 minutes, that’s including time to prep onions and to wash the rice. The first step was to add the chopped onions to a dry pan for a couple of minutes, and then add a couple of tea spoons of curry paste and then continue to cook this out for a couple of minutes, the next step was to add the washed rice and to mix this around the pan so it is coated with the curry paste, chicken stock is then added to the pan, a lid is put on and then its left on a low heat for 12-15 minutes. After this time has passed and the rice is cooked break up the rice with a fork, add the prawns, peas, and chopped chilli, take off the heat and put the lid back on the pan and leave for 5 minutes. Upon serving sprinkle with coriander and then you’re done! It was so easy and bloody tasty 



This week I am making prawn and pea risotto, I have about 80 or so recipes I currently want to try, so it will take me a while to get through them all, and some may not be successful, or I may not like some, but what’s the harm in trying something different?

Do you have any recipes I should try?

Movie lists will be added shortly!

Bye for Now! X
