Rare spinnaker2 Posted July 21, 2017 #2727 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hello all. Sophia...I haven't even thought about cruise clothes yet. I will need to look at reported temperatures, I imagine it's hot? We were so cold in Vermont, I had on a puffy jacket and long sleeves. I had forgotten that the cold permeates everything because it is accompanied by damp. DD did get sick from the dramatic temperature change and also because she has such a chronically low white blood cell count. Being in a plane with all those coughing didn't help either. Yikes JP. Sounds like an event is about to happen! Food on the grill or order out. Lubricate well with ETOH. Lois, just FYI the NYTimes travel section last Sunday had a piece on Barcelona. You might read it online. Jeff whadya make in the IP today? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissSophia Posted July 22, 2017 #2736 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hello Coolers.........been having trouble logging in today as the cc site seems to have been down at times...... That BB looks delicious Jeffers.....as did the kebab...but at 2am? Ye gads....that would give me serious indigestion for the rest of the night!! JP...your tuna also looked delish but being the peasant that l am l have to admit to preferring it out of a tin......:o hope your family gathering goes well. Spins.......it should be pretty warm in September....hopefully! I'm always way ahead with my clothes rail as once it's up and full l can relax...it'll be a bit easier this time with no formal night! Don't know if you've heard that Flavio has left SS so not sure who the HD will be on this one but I believe some new faces have joined the fold! Lois.....your excitement must be at fever pitch now with only two weeks to go.... Pretty quiet weekend....we've had some rain and nasty winds here which haven't done much for the garden plants and right now thunder is beckoning ...... Happy Day 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCruiseJeff Posted July 22, 2017 #2742 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Jeff, your mystery meal looks fantastic! Rice pilaf (?) Mushroom cream sauce (?) What would the protein be? Beef.. veal...lamb(?) Hi C. thanks for the kind words. It is methi beef chetinad curry with a pilau from our zoji. The pilau had an experiemental blend of baharat and ras el hanout 50/50 which I have been playing with lately, with some onion and garlic powder. It works well which is good because I have just overstocked on my spices .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCruiseJeff Posted July 22, 2017 #2743 Share Posted July 22, 2017 It looks like a Bay Leaf......but those are not meant to be eaten...... Kafir lime leaves which goes nicely with the methi (fenugreek) leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted July 22, 2017 #2746 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Maybe its not one.........I was just guessing. I don't know what other leaves you would cook with....... I am sure Jeff will tell us what it is:) Oh he typed what it is....a Kafir leaf.......I don't know that leaf so I am wrong and it is not a bay leaf.

UKCruiseJeff Posted July 22, 2017 #2747 Share Posted July 22, 2017 How was the doner kabob? One of my favorite meals! This one looks good, also. I will be buying res al hanout on my trip. Penny Penny, it was great! Home made .....! I made a doner meat mix from minced lamb and pork and seasoning and hebs which I forced into a large tin can which I cooked in the instant pot. Let it cool down and put it in the fridge. So when the kebab mood takes you, you thinly cut slces and grill them. I reckon it will keep in the fridge safely for a week. Pressure cooking means not only is it cooked but pasteurised so is safe for longer. Tastes better than I have bought when out. Who'd have thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Jeff will tell us what it is:) Oh he typed what it is....a Kafir leaf.......I don't know that leaf so I am wrong and it is not a bay leaf. It's used regularly in Thai cooking and adds aromatics and a lime taste. I use a handful in most of my curries whether they are Indian or Thai in character.
