Where I use my home made curry powder, and it takes less than half an hour to cook
Ah! You have home-made curry powder. You will have to share the recipe sometime.

I always use my home made curry powder. Still takes me almost 2 hours to cook a curry.

That was using the packet mix MG to which I referred earlier. Whatever chemicals and stuff are in it, it still produces an excellent product and I am very reluctant to change.
I drain off the excess marinade in the sink (above water to keep any interested ants at bay).

I don't really worry about chemicals at my age! If it tastes good then stick with it! I'm pretty sure it must have red food colouring in it though - which ironically is derived from ants.

Here we have my interpretation of a Greek Salad.
Those massive purple things are beets: if you thought that they're much larger than they ought to be, you're right: this is what happens when you make your own and you start with enormous beets. I made them with more salt than typical pickled beet recipes to bring down the usual sweetness (usually, it seems that salt is used like it is in a cake recipe, for example). I added whole allspice and cloves to the brine. If you guessed from looking at this that I added so many because they're delicious, you'd be right. The dark green leaves, by the way, are beet greens.
I also made a dressing that's heavy on the garlic and basil (my two favorite things in Greek dressings). One day, I'll present this with homemade feta cheese, but not this time.

You may have to gee it up with a bit more chilli. It depends what other spices are used in the dish.

Tonight's dinner was roast veg (onions, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and peas with a handful of pecan nuts, and some parsley, basil, and black pepper)

I often do this. It's a good way of using up odds and ends before I get my new veg box.That looks terrifically healthy!

Today lunch is boiled carrots, griddled aubergine's slices, spinach and buttered fennels. No bread. A very light meal (On Sunday I'll do a 10 km marathon and I need to purify me).
I'm alone for lunch today. And I like it a lot! Silent and relax.

@Elawin I really like you use to do a lot of homemade food. I still have to prepare your homemade yoghurt but as soon as possible I'll do following your recipe.
