There have been 3 of my small squashes grown last summer sitting in a basket on the kitchen window sill since they were harvested, it was about time they were used before they went mouldy or dried up completely.
I started as usual with a large home grown onion, then to make a change from my usual vegetable curry, bought a tub of Thai red curry paste, a can of coconut milk, and a pack of mange-tout peas + 3 balls of frozen spinach and cooked up a big pan of curry. This divided into 6 portions for the freezer.
They won't be part of the Value Ranges Experiment - it cost £1.25 + £1 + £1 + plus the odd bits, nothing from the cheap ranges but will be right ready for later.
Meanwhile yesterdays main meal -Day 4-was another piece of quiche with more of the roast vegetables. With a small portion of broccoli

Quiche and vegetables is great, simple, very good. And I do like a good curry, too. Thanks for the food pictures!
ReplyDeleteAccidently turning into a food blog!
DeleteWow! So far you are proving that good tasty food can be made with less. I think that (this makes me sound so old lol) these days people aren't taught how to make things from scratch or how to eat simply but tasty.
ReplyDeleteThe Experiment is going well so far - hopefully I can do 4 weeks
DeleteRead in the news yesterday that Asda have put up their value range prices by quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteFor a while they had hardly any value range labelled products at all. The quality seems to have improved and the price is still less than branded -it's turning into an interesting experiment
DeleteWhat a pretty plate for your lunch.
ReplyDeleteThank You - tasted very good too
DeleteWell, the main ingredients of your curry were free (onion and squashes) and so much nicer than boughten. Your lunch looks good too. I am in a cheese scone mood today - some for us and some for the freezer as a gift when we visit our friends P&D next.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm Cheese scones - delicious
DeleteHmm, I might have to make some cheese scones over the weekend now!
DeleteIt looks delicious. Keep up the food blog, the recipes are useful.
ReplyDeleteBack to book blog tomorrow!
DeleteYour curry looks really good, and knowing you have six portions in the freezer must be so satisfying. Yep, you are definintely a food blog now. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I don't want to be a food blogger
DeleteCurry looks so tasty and it was good you used up what you had. You have put me right in the notion to make one now. Catriona
ReplyDeleteLove a good home made veggie curry.
DeleteThe curry looks tasty and 6 portions for £3.25 plus home grown bits is not to be sniffed at 😁 The quiche looks lovely too. You are definitely inspiring me with your experiment! Please keep it up 👍
ReplyDeleteYep, will keep going
DeleteWell done the curry looks so great and each portion will only cost pennies (can't figure out pence and such silly Canadian here).
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I wouldn't be able to convert to Canadian dollars either!
DeleteThe quiche and curry meals are evry appealing to me. I am enjoying your experiment.
ReplyDeleteIt's going well -so far
DeleteYour quiche and curry looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the curry will be OK for when the experiment finishes
DeleteYou should write a cookery/recipe book. I would definitely buy a copy.
ReplyDeleteOne of my pet hates is writing out recipes with measurements although I've managed several on the recipe page
