We've been watching Jamie O's new programme which is running on Channel 4 at 5:30 each day.
30 Minute Meals on Channel 4
Jean took a fancy to the Prawn Curry which I cooked today. I didn't follow the full recipe. Did not have the full raw king prawns with shell and head and the smaller prawns were already cooked. Never the less Jean allowed me to keep my 0.25 Michelin star. We enjoyed it.
The king prawns were cooked in the oven which may not be needed when using the prepared version we had. Next time I think I would use less coconut milk. The final mix was a little too watery and not as hot as expected.
The cucumber and chillies made up for it.
I did not quite appreciate the Jasmine rice. The tea bags I would leave out.
This is the first time I've tried papaya. Not a great deal of taste. However it was refreshing after the curry.
First time cycling in sometime. I've been under pressure this week at work and had a uplifting ride along the cycle path running along the back of Doonfoot. It was cool but the sun was bright and the first leaf fall of the autumn made for a colourful route.
From Greenan I took the main road into Doonfoot instead of the rough track up to the ruin. Followed the cycle path along the seafront into Prestwick and on to the roundabout at the airport where I turned round and went home via Rozelle and the Loaning, up and over the hill to Queen Margaret Academy.
Time of 1 hr 47mins with average heat beat of 122 b/min. Should have burnt about 1300 Kcals.
What really gets me is my right Achilles feels only a very slight twinge. After nearly 2 hours of work my heal is in better shape than I started! I'll see what it like in the morning when I go to the gym.
