 Scotch Dahl Scotch Dahl served over, cumin roasted potato and cauliflower. Yet another cooking experiment, I had another curry craving.  Personally I blame the weather, lucky for me it's a proven fact that Eating curry and spicy food can help kill cold and flu germs.   Probably the same way they can help clear the sinuses!!.  I love spicy food but Indian would be my favourite.  I stay clear of the 'blow your head of with spice variety', i like to be able to taste my food. Where lucky in Scotland, as we have been exposed to Indian cuisine for several decades now.  I was first introduced to Indian food  by a family that lived next door.  The mother didn't speak much English, but her and my own mother found a way to communicate through food.  Every so often bajji's and other fresh made treats would find there way over our back garden fence.  Just as every so often so would a jar of my mum's own homemade jam ...

 Scotch meat less loaf My Scotch broth mix meat less loaf worked!!!  The slices did turn out a bit thick, so I just pressed them down with my hands.  Sprayed oil into my frying pan and cooked them over a medium heat, as if I was cooking a quorn burger.  It has the same constitency as sliced haggis or black pudding, without any of the  blood and animal organs. So i didn't flip it to much in case it broke up in the pan (I have no problem with blood and offal, it just doens't like me anymore.)

I ate mine last night with sweetcorn and spring onion, topped in a little dairy free margarine.  It really needed some sauce, so I had some lemon mayonnaise.    I love mayo it's one of the few creamy condiments I can still use.  (I love wacky cake recipes...

Experimental cooking I feel like my body is in hibernation mode, I was in bed for 7.30pm last night.  Ok technically I slept on the couch again, and not my bed. (a mix of insomnia and anxiety issues)  I'd felt my self nodding off from 6pm, so I was slightly wired this morning when I got up.  When Im wired I tend relax by baking.   However my fridge is currently full too bursting point with baked goodies, and "She Canny take anymore captain!!!".  (Yep I was once a sci fi geek)  So I thought it best to stick to savoury cooking today, and continue my ongoing mission to explore more veggie recipes, to go further than I have before........... OK you get the point, wayhaay more experiments in the kitchen.  My lentil loaf turned  out to be a great veggie Haggis, you never know what I could accidentally make next time.  Not wanting to give up i decided to give the savoury loaf another bash.  Iv done my research and de...
