Cooking....
Cottage pie. Basically the same as shepherd pie (for those who were in UK), but with different meat base. Cottage uses mince beef while shepherd uses lamb.

Decided to add carrots, peas and corn to reduce the amount of meat used.

Sure why not. Only thing is that you have to come here.
Today, pork curry with lots of carrots and potatoes.

Side dish of tofu with a dash of oyster sauce.

For desert, apple crumble. Basic recipe but change cooking apple to eating apple.

Naturally it must be had with ice cream.

Suppose I should have made the custard sauce as well, but the family were not complaining.

No problem, just have to come to Taiwan.
Last night dinner.
Pongteh, a typical Peranakan dish. This is more basic with just pork and potatoes.
(http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn322/TheHobbit_01/Collection/IMG_0362.jpg)

Yet more curry. This time with added cabbage, on top of carrots and potatoes.Trying to make it a one pot dish. Next time will add tomatoes, okra and egg plant.
The normal way to eat curry.

I thought this is the thread to go to confess my moonlighting profession as a gigolo....
But anyway, the only thing I can cook is a mean fish curry (which is better than my Mom's). I did bake quite a bit when I was overseas, and I always wanted to have the best homemade doublechoc cookies. I revel in the exacting, regimented methodologies of baking.
70%+ dark chocolate used to please the olfactory, and mix of pastry flour+high protein flour. I took the best tips from NY Times' chocolate cookie recipes.
Cracked top ,crunchy outside, soft inside.

jet78,
Basically, 1 kilo of pork, shallots, curry powder (ready mixed with turmeric), potatoes (or other veg as necessary) and milk.
Clean the pork and cut to bite size. If you use the 3 layer pork with skin, you may need to shave the skin as sometimes the hair is still there. Marinate with the curry powder and leave a while.
Cut shallots (length wise) and fry until fragrant. Add the pork and fry for a minute or so. Add potatoes and continue to fry for another minute or so. Add a cup of water (or more if you want more sauce). Bring to a boil and after that simmer for 30 minutes. Add milk (I use 2 cups) and bring to a boil. After boil let it simmer for another 30 minutes. Add other veg at this point. Make sure your total cooking time is about 1 hour as it takes that long to fully cook pork (more so if you use pork belly and bones).
Stew pork with stir fried veg.

It is really up to you. If you can get coconut milk (fresh one) much the better. If not just use normal milk. I have stopped using coconut milk in curry for years.
