So... what exactly *did* you cook today?

A pound of ground beef, fried with onions and courgettes, with thick beef
gravy and a good helping of tomato puree in it. Mushrooms added if I have
them, but I didn't.
I can get three different meals from that if I separate it into three parts.
1. Add garam masala and curry spices to make a korma. Eat with rice or
wraps (I put it in wraps this time)
2. Eat as made with potatoes and home grown green beans and cabbage.
3. Add chilli powder, garlic and red kidney beans for chilli con carne. Eat
with rice or in wraps.

The 4th option is spaghetti bolognese, but you really need mushrooms for
that, then just add Italian-type spices.

In all cases, make sure you chop up your courgettes and put them in there
;-)

Next week I will use some diced beef I have in my freezer in my slow cooker,
and courgettes will be included. I don't want to waste them if I can eat
them, but actually they won't be wasted if they get too much for me as my
chickens will eat them and turn them into eggs.
The problem with courgettes is because they are frost tender they fruit over
only a few weeks and if you take your eye off them they get massive in a
week!
Grace-over-the-road-from-me has taken two biggies to make chutney with. She
makes chutney and
jam to raise money for her bowling club. She also jumps out of aeroplanes
for the same aim. She's 89.
That's the kind of neighbour we used to have here.
