Curvy you were supposed to keep that a secret!!! :eek:

Curvy Vixen

Sorry Rubes, he made me do it!!!!!!

Silent Rain

Dammit, as I'm in work, I dont see pictures.... but I'm thinking that I'm missing out on a lot.... Ruby if you can print off whatever it is maybe A1 size, you can bring it along with the rest of your paraphernalia ( the creme egg, doggy lampshade etc. ).... it all helps with identification....

Now you've defo taken it too far buddy!!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Silent Rain

I meant that in the nicest possible way. If any reference to your mini-lampshade was unsuitable I instantly retract the statement. I'm sure puppy is charming. (Actually I did manage to see those pics, so I know as such). (Great they manage to allow pictures of cute puppies, but block off the good pictures, what kind of people do I work for ????)

Ruby-J

Keep grovelling!

Ruby don't believe Silent Rain ~ he just sent me this recipe on the sly!!!!

Dog curry
Serves 4

Ingredients
1 very little cute doggie knicked from Ruby!!
4-6 medium tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 tbsp vegetable oil
3cm/1in piece root ginger
2 garlic cloves
1-2 mild green chillies
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
salt and freshly ground black pepper
100ml/3½fl oz water
1 free-range chicken, jointed into 8 pieces, or 8 thighs and/or drumsticks
2 tbsp yoghurt
1 lime (or lemon)
a small bunch of coriander leaves
cooked rice, to serve



Method
1. To skin the tomatoes, nick the skin of each tomato with the point of a sharp knife, then put the tomatoes in a bowl next to the sink and pour over some very hot water from the kettle to cover. Count to 20, then carefully pour away the water. When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, halve the tomatoes, squeeze out most of the pips and juice into an empty bowl, and discard. Chop the flesh roughly and put it down on a plate to one side.
2. Peel and finely chop the onion. Fry the onion in the vegetable oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over low to medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring from time to time so that it turns an even golden brown. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
3. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the ginger and the garlic.
4. Slit the chilli using a sharp knife. Slice the flesh away from the cluster of seeds in the middle. Avoid touching any part of the chilli with your fingers if you can, as it is very easy to get chilli in your eyes, and that will sting. You can use a fork to hold the chilli down or wear rubber gloves. Chop the chilli finely.
5. Measure the ground spices into a teacup. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli to the pan, stir them around and fry for another minute or so. If you want your curry to be hot as well as spicy, include some or all of the chilli seeds. Then add the spices in the cup into the onions. Fry the spices for a minute or two, stirring all the time so that they do not stick. Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Pour in the water and the tomatoes, bring to the boil, turn down the heat a little and let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes.
7. Add the dog pieces to the pan and stir them around so they are covered with the sauce. Put the lid on the pan, turn the heat down and let the chicken cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Dog thighs will take longer to cook than breast pieces.
8. Now add the yoghurt to the dog and stir it in. When the sauce is gently bubbling again, scoop up a little in a teaspoon, blow it cool and taste it. The sauce will probably taste quite sweet because of the tomatoes. Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the sauce. Stir and taste again, and decide whether you want to add the second half.
9. Finally, chop the fresh coriander leaves and sprinkle them on to the curry just before you serve it with the rice
