Chicken curry

For lunch I was slightly delicate after a night out so had a scrambled egg and sausage sandwich on white bread with ketchup. Although scrambled egg is not the easiest thing to eat in a sandwich there is no yolk situation that you get with fried and it goes amazingly well with the ketchup - yum.

With only four days left at work I went out with lunch with a couple of colleagues, one of which I won't be working with again. We went to Cantina Laredo, a new Mexican in St Martin's Courtyard. We had toriklla chips with a salsa type dip and then the waiter made a bowl of guacamole in front of us, which was amazing. He scooped out the avacado, chopped tomatoes and mixed it with chopped red onion, lime and corrider. Seriously delicious. We shared some nachoes as a starter, which were strange, but amazing. They were little rectangular pieces of tortillas with cheese, beans and chicken layered on top, then with sour cream, guacamole and jalapinos on the side. I had chicken fajitas for mains. A sizzling plate on chicken, onions and peppers arrived, which smelt amazing. It was served with three flour tortilla, guacamole, sour cream, re-fried beans and rice. I loved it. The decor was also great with stylish black booths - I will definitely be going again.

Mr P made a delcious curry for dinner, but I sisn't really watch him make much of it. I do know that his petsel and mortar came out and he ground up a selection of spices including cumin, corriander seems, cardamon.. and some other things. He also put a tin of chopped tomatoes in, lots of onion, garlic, chicken, mushrooms, spinach, creamed coconut. It was served with some lovely fluffy rice. It was really really good.
