I bought some large ravioli filled with chilli crab. I made a sauce to go with it of fresh organic tomatoes (reduced down) and added to garlic mayonnaise and chopped asparagus. Good combo!

Dinner tonight was one of my home-made lasagnes. This time the filling was onions, mushrooms, purple sprouting broccoli and wild garlic. There's enough left over for tomorrow I also had a freshly made hot non-cross bun for afters.

Cold, pagan buns?

My wife has suddenly gone on a binge of cooking something new everyday.

Today's new dish was mayo, garlic, and parmesan cheese crusted baked chicken breasts, and sauteed mushrooms. Another success!

I think its just crabmeat with chilli added to flavour.

Yes....no exotic stone crabs here....the best that can be rustled up is a bit of chilli on crab!

Lol, I just told her.

Since we are about garlic'd out from this week's cooking, she asked me what shpuld be a theme or ingredient for next week. I suggested turmeric...

But she just said, "What the hell is turmeric?", so that's a no go.

Do you know what species of crab? Just curious.

And what kind of chilli?

Turmeric is an easy thing to use in so many ways. Do you not have it in your store cupboard? The main point of the Spice Challenge is to get us all thinking (me included) about ways to explore the uses of aromatic spices. Its all too easy to just cook with the same old things... I've learned heaps already about new things.
