SWMBO is a bit sick at the moment , down with a chest complaint and has been in bed for a few days, and has lost her appetite. Today she requested a light evening meal of tinned (Scottish make) Mushroom soup with some left over chopped up chicken peices, and a bowl of pasta ribbons,

Well browny points for me , her quote was , just like a lovely snack, away in the caravan. :)

Whats your favourite snack. ?

Oh dear. Tinned soup. No No No No No No. Her ladyship deserves better than that you should have made it.

We were snacking on some very delicious home made elephants feet last evening.

How do you make an elephant at home? You must have a massive home to fit it in.

Thanks for that.

Will try it for next friday, home made curry night including when in the caravan.

Meat of choice diced into small cubes.
1 red onion, roughly chopped into quarters, peel each layer into single pieces.
1 white onion as above.
Sweet red pepper roughly chunked.

Sauce made in a blitzer:
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 inch of ginger finely sliced
4 tsp jalapeno peppers chopped
1 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp coriander fresh or dried flakes
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp Gurum Massala
1 tin chopped tomatoes
50g tomato puree

Blitz till a course paste.

Drizzle / spray olive oil into pan you cook in to just give a coating on bottom. fill with onions, peppers and meat, pour sauce on top and mix, then leave to marinate for the day.

When ready to cook, put on low heat and cook till meat tender, onions and peppers firm, not soft.

Cook basmatti rice. Serve.

Add 150ml low fat yoghurt to curry just prior to serving, mix well. Takes the sharpness off.

Wash down with chilled white wine for blokes, G&T with an ice cube containing a segment of pink grapefruit served in a bowl type glass for girlies.

We prepare ice cubes with various fruit be it lime, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit in freezer at home then transfer to a ziplock bag to caravan freezer based on 1 cube per evening per person drinking gin.

Home next Friday.

Next caravan trips planned are end Feb Half Term at Baltic Wharf, then end Easter hols at Haycraft. That is provided I'm happy with the remedial works currently being undertaken on our 19 month old Sterling Continental 570 to put it back to how it should have come out of the circus otherwise known as assemblers of common poor quality parts, Cottingham :p

If it ain't sorted I'm minded to get shot of it and demand recompense. I've lost my enthusiasm for caravanning since the 25 faults were found and have had to wait in excess of 4 months to get a slot for the remedial works :evil: :evil:

The family have missed our Friday night curries in the caravan.

But it is more than a standard snack :unsure:

Enjoy, making it and consuming it. Let us know what you think of it once finished. The quantities are for 2 people.

I find the preparation enjoyable and will tweak it depending what ingredients are around.

Is SW not about cutting out the snacking by having filling meals with natural ingredients?

Can you curry elephant? :p

The rest of the elephant is in the paddock.
Our elephants are all free-range, Martin. They have the run of the front lawn, and then sleep in the kitchen.Mind you, we only have 24 of them!

I know, I know! Herself says I'm a bit deranged too.
Btw, how do you get four elephants in a mini?
You can't; two of them would have to walk!
