A number of families come and go from an International School environment. Everyone knows that I love to cook so when they leave, I get bag fulsomely of herbs and spices, flour etc etc.
I was a given one of those bottles of instant curry, cannot remember the brand name. I was tired last night so I grabbed a packet of chicken wings and through in the sauce. On :-: speed, 100° for 18 mins, there was dinner. I would never dare suggest this a "recipe" such as this should ever be posted but I wonder if anyone else has ever cheated like this? I did also make Naan bread from scratch and stir fry vegetables from EDC. So it was not all bad. But come on, who has ever cheated and thrown a nasty instanced bottle of something into their Thermomix? Come on, confess!!!!!

oh how I would love to be able to :) ... the consequences of such *cheating* in this house is not worth it!!!
Things may change when DS moves out - oh hang on he is only 6 :o :o

Sorry to disappoint you Lee but no I haven't - I still have a jar of pasta sauce and Korma curry sauce in the pantry from before I bought my TMX. I must throw them in the bin. Mind you, I am home a lot more than you so time is not an issue with me. If we need a quick meal, I either make it the day before or first thing in the morning. Even when I was working, I would often cook the next night's meal after we'd eaten unless it was just meat & veg.

When we go away on our yacht at Christmas time I am going to have to be super organised or resort to that sort of cooking, Deb potato, and jars of stuff that can be thrown together, as Thermi won't work ( the extension cord just isn't long enough ;D)
Storage is a problem as we only have a small freezer on board at the moment.
-
Where are you heading in your yacht Jen? Sounds like fun.
-
No I havent Lee, jars still in pantry, keep meaning to take them to tne supermarket tomhelp the people in need.
H :)
-
Ok I Just re read the question. Sorry love, the answer is no from me too.
I was thinking you are all lying :P. My bad

We haven't decided yet, we might go over to Rottnest Island and moor there for a few day and then head south. All depends on the weather and who comes with us. As its a big yacht it takes a bit of work for DH to rig everything up so we can lower the mast to get it under the bridges at Fremantle. We do a lot of sailing in the Swan River as that is where we have a pen for her.
-
I loved the Rottnest Island trip I did with a friend a few years ago - unfortunately preTMX or I would have caught up with all you lovely Perthites - and the Swan River is just amazing. Could live overlooking that for sure ;D

Ha ha, Lee! They are a bunch of purists eh! Well I can admit to doing this . . . following a suggestion in the EDC, I used some bought curry paste/sauce stuff to make Fast Chicken Curry . . . it was edible, but I haven't done it again since making my own balti curry sauce and tika paste and my own curry powder and garam masala!! And recently I made soup with stock cubes, ugh! Never again! We do get spoilt with TMX's!
-
Yes, I will have to own up to using some Sharwoods curry pastes.
-
Yep I use Sharwood curry pastes quite regularly esp for a quick lunch curry.
-
I don't make curries often so no curry paste here. I do confess to buying beef stock powder though. I only use it occasionally in swiss beef and winter soup so I don't think it is worth making the paste for those two dishes. I don't use packets or jars but my stand-by meals are so basic that they are almost as easy as using prepared foods (not very gourmet :P). :)

But but but i didnt buy it. I just didnt want to waste it. I will never do it agsin. I just wanted to see what it was like. I promise nevef to do it again. I feel as if my reputation is now in tatters.

Don't worry - what does on in the forum, stays on the forum ;)
For the record, if it makes you feel any better, I buy my soy sauce and don't make it from scratch. You feel better now?
-
LOL - you make me laugh Lee!!! As long as you promise never to do it again we forgive you! :-*
-
Okay, I just cleaned my fridge--ticking off my school holiday jobs--will be happy to get back to school at this rate, and I admit I KEPT the prethermomix jar of Sharwoods korma paste and the Trident red curry paste. . . SHhhhhhhh!

So long as our dirty little secrets stay within the forum, all is well
