Rubies Are A Man's Best Friend.

Too bloody right they are. Just take a look at this tasty dish. Starting from the left, we have a chilli nan, accompanied by a very tender cooked lamb jalfrezi with whole chillis amongst a slumberland bed of lemon rice. Adds to the flavour, see. Benji (the cat in the picture) usually goes for a chicken madras or spicy hot wings but he was less than impressed by what was on the plate. More for me.
I hope that I don't get the runs tomorrow as I'm venturing round to Howesy's gaff to record another Depcast, and we all know that having a dodgy gut will entail having to get the professional carpet cleaners in. I could do without having to fork out for the extra expense.

Jalfrezi. Splendid choice.

I that a massive bowl of chocolatey sweets in the background? Bad bad bad!

RoMo - That's not a 'massive' bowl of chocolates...not for us anyway! Besides, it's mostly for the cats (Roses filled with tuna).

My first husband, Barry, was a great fan of takeaway curry's, the hotter the better. His favourite was chicken phal which he used to accompeny with THREE nan breads, the greedy so-and-so! Unfortunatley he had what he described as a "terrible follow through" and we would have to keep the windows open in the house for days on end, even in winter.

gut-rot mate! 'Nepalm' on a plate.

Howesy said...

Luckily for you ister, I was unaware of the curry 'aftershock' threat and therefore allowed you entry to chez Howesy. However, as you probably noticed, carpet cleaners would be distinctly under-employed here.

Cats and curries fit into the purr-pet-ual motion theory (aka the cat + buttered toast theory). Something about cats always land on their feet + bright colour curries always land on pale carpets, therefore you spread curry on the cat's back, drop the cat and the whole assemblage rotates in mid-air because to land on feet would break the curry-meets-carpet rule, while to land on the curry breks the cat-lands-on-feet rule.

Looks tasty. I'm very partial to a bit of lamb myself.

Stray Photon said...

Howesey...laminate flooring eh? I am about to try to put some of that down in our kitchen; can I shriek for help if I get stuck? In the meantime I feel very, very hungry. It was over a Jalfrezi that I proposed marriage to my wife. So I would stick to Madras if I were you. Unless you want to end up married to
Mrs Photon. Which isn't legally possible.

Glenda - At least you don't have to put up with your ex's afterburn sensation any longer. Not unless your lesbian lover suffers from the same symptoms after a night on the vindaloo.

JDA - Well, you know what 'they' say: "Napalm on a plate, Devastation in the bog!"

Howesy - I would've been so ashamed if the aftermath would've warped your parquet flooring.

Llewtrah - That sounds like an interesting experiment, one which I shall undertake ASAP. Talking of pet behavioural problems (if it is a problem that is) did you know that Howesy is the proud owner of a homosexual cat?

DH - You can't go too far wrong with lamb, though I usually go for a seafood variant such as prawn or squid. Squid curry with lemon rice and a mutton role cooked the South Indian way cannot be beaten.

Stray - "It was over a Jalfrezi that I proposed marriage to my wife"...
I take it the honeymoon was conducted on laminate flooring?

Howesy said...

Stray, LAMINATE???????? Solid wood parquet mate, nothing but the best for Chez Howesy! Well it was there when we took up the carpet anyroad.
I did lay laminate upstairs in the west wing so if you need any help...

gotta go now and eat 6 curries, so I can try out the 'vomit on kitten' theory...

Howesy said...

Ister, re: gay cat.
I'm not sure he's entirely homosexual, just a bit confused. I did find him 69ing a stuffed sheep pyjama case thing one day though, and now I'm the confused one.

Istvanski said...

Howesy - I can't imagine a bisexual cat. Do you think your moggy is a 50 per center?

Howesy said...

"A 50%er?", not sure, but he is decidedly odd.

rockmother said...

I'm a little tipsy and hungry and would kill for a curry now!
