Italian deli has the pine nuts and pecorino from Italy. Of course got olive oil. Did use stick blender rather then mortar and pestle but I've been busy, so hopefully the sin is forgiven. Lol I'm well impressed my friend! The way you just slipped pesto in, I thought it was just a jar...When all this Covid is over I'm gonna invite myself, if that's ok...😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this a new batch, as long as you leave out the cheese, pesto freezes well. The ice crystals break apart cheese proteins which kills texture and flavor. However u can just thaw and then add cheese after. Good to have around. Love just cooking orecchiette pasta and tossing it in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagachilli2 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Many thx for the input BL...Sometimes it just takes 1 post to liven the thread up again... I don't know if you read my whole authentic curry recipe, including all the tips...but it works. Either nobody on this foodie thread likes curry, or they lost interest half way through, but Zero reaction...Maybe I won't bother with the blog then 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a good powder they make in this Indian shop and toss it in chicken salad or devilled eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG 150 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I just ate dinner and I'm drooling again. I gain 5 pounds every time I read this thread. I've made nothing special at all recently. Way too busy at work. Florida, being one of the 5 basically fully open states means we are balls to the wall here with visitors and that means long days for me in the aviation industry. BL's list is most impressive. All good for you stuff too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good for you stuff too! We cheated tonight...There's a traditional real wood fire pizza van travels around the area, and on a Thursday it parks up quite near us. So we grabbed a coupla pizzas tonight... Mine was topped with nduja (Italian spreadable sausage) salami, mozzarella, garlic and fresh green chillis Mrs Naga's was topped with chicken, pesto, goats cheese, garlic and mozzarella... Both were delicious...the dough and toppings very 'Italian'...not too much topping. Just polished off the last 2 bits for my midnight snack, washed down with a cold beer...I might just grab another one...Cheers guys...😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspanker Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Not sure if this is ok or not to add here ....... but beer time I have become a fan of this one. Can get it in UK supermarkets from time to time. From its Wiki page La Goudale is a bière de garde which was originally brewed in Douai (northern France) by Les Brasseurs de Gayant. The brewery has since moved to Arques. Its name derives from "good ale", the name given to local ales in the 14th century.[1] It is a highly fermented beer of 7.2%. It consists of three Flemish hop varieties, two malt varieties (pale and caramel), two other cereals (wheat and rice) and spices (coriander and bitter orange peels). As the brewery now also makes beers which were inherited as a result of mergers, in the section products there will be beers which were not traditionally made by Goudale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leffe and Duvel are great...but common over here. I get a 4 pack of Leffe most weekends, because Saturday's Asian night in the Naga house, and I find that Leffe goes great with a curry. But it was a whole new world in Brugge, and the beer menus didn't always include these, as they're brewed more for export. 1 bar had nearly 150 beers on the menu...all with their own beautiful unique glass. The Belgians drink beer like many other countries drink wine...they savour it with a meal...Class 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
