Family dinner last night. Daughter made her first attempt at naan bread. Huge hit here. 16 naans gone in 20 mins. Thet were so fluffy and brown in patches . We wont be buying shop ones now.
Granddaughter 14th this week.
Her turn next Sunday.
Tandoori lamb cutlets entree. ( that will cost me fortune)
Corned beef n carrots with mustard sauce. She loved it last time.

If you can show me a corned beef recipe I’d actually enjoy that would be brill.
I’ve had a tin staring at me for a kittle cook for a long time and can’t face it.
Corned beef makes me shudder but I think if it was hot and the fat had rendered down that might change things.

I'm not a fan of corned beef, either. My parents love it, but that gene didn't pass on to me.

I think it’s the cold lardy mouth feel I struggle with.
I can eat it if it’s flavour and texture is completely obliterated by copious quantities of pickle but what’s the point in that?!
 
So my chooks have started to lay again (OK only 1 girl and this was her first egg of the season, so hardly in full laying mode! )

Spot the difference between a shop bought free range, organic egg and my chooks.

The yolk will get oranger as laying gets into full swing in a few weeks time. Her first egg of the season (bottom picture) is paler than her normal but still darker/deeper in colour than the shop bought).

And tonight's evening meal used the purple potatoes that I dug up yesterday.

So a simple meal of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, purple tatties and spelt pasta with vegan sausages and a vegan "cheese" sauce (aka cashew nuts and miso with some other flavours thrown in).

I cook in a pot with about 20 peppercorns and 1/3 cup golden syrup. I cook carrots chunked up same time. I boil slowly 3 hrs.
I serve with mustard sauce. That was the part granddaughter remembered about the meal. How good that was.
I use the Edmonds recipe.

We too get coloured potatoes. We love them.

I bought a corned beef yesterday. I do mine the in the Instant Pot pressure cooker with my blend of pickling spices (spices go in a tea ball for easy removal). Pressure cook 1 1/2 hours. Take beef out to rest. Then put potatoes in pot and cook 5 mUnited. Serve with cole slaw.
