Made Potato Rosti for the first time - did it 2 days running. I have very impressed. Day 2 I put garlic and onion in it which improved it a lot.

Never made a massaman but brown sugar isn't unheard of in thai curries. Unless somebody knows better, I'd throw some in next time. Start off by only throwing in a tiny bit, just to be sure.

Sambo with lots of Chilli humus, Gouda cheese and Coleslaw on "J,M & O'B" nutty doorstep bread with a big cup o' tea. nice!
(ok i did get a falafel kebab on the way home from the pub after the shins gig but the sambo was still damn good)

just made carrot and coriander soup.

Made a carrot soup last night too, tasty.

About 10 small carrotts (peeled, chopped)
1 Large Onion (peeled, chopped)
2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
3 or 4 small potatoes (peeled, chopped)
1 or 2 peppers (peeled, chopped)
Frozen Lemongrass paste & chilli paste (dead handy stuff, get it in Tesco's)
1 Tin coconut Milk
Vegetable Stock
Fresh Coriander, chopped.

Sweat the onion in some olive oil for about 5 mins, then add the chopped Veg and Garlic and fry for 5 mins.
Cover the veg with vegetable stock, add a squeeze of Lemongrass and Chilli paste, and Salt & Pepper. Simmer for about 20 mins, till veg is tender.
Let it cool a bit, then blitz up with a hand blender yoke.
Add the Coconut Milk, and chopped Coriander, then put on a low heat and heat through for 5-10 mins.

Serve with crusty bread. Mmmmmmmm.

Crowdude that soup sounds real tasty. One of my favourite things about winter is homemade soup.

My favourite new dish: 'Salad I ripped off from Yamamoori'

Some raw green beans such as mangetout and sugar snaps (just topped and tailed)
Some really ripe tasty vine tomatoes (chopped large, in quarters or some shit)
Some very finely sliced spring onions (calling them scallions is so eighties)
Some very finely sliced cucumber
Large pieces of tofu fried in a light oil with a little rock salt and pepper
A handful of rocket

Arrange all that shit all pretty like on a plate....

Drench it in the single nicest dressing I have ever tasted:

Sesame oil, light soy sauce and wasabi paste blended up together (go easy on the wasabi unless you want to cry your way through dinner)

I also love making homemade soup.

Palm sugar is best in curries.

You get it in your local Asian food store.
It normally comes in plastic jars or else as blobs of solid sugar in bags.
