... normally its very very mild, like chinese curry, but this one has a little kick. In the new Kings Cross section there is an alright japanese take-away.
Had a job interview in Camden today, I didnt' realise how it is to get too, there are SOO many amazing foodie places there, I went to wholefoodsmarket.com/ and accidently £30 worth of stuff that fits in a tiny small bag. I really want this job, it's a good £5k less than my other stuff, but I would love working there I think.

I do a wafer-thin beef curry where you cook the sauce and flash the beef in a pan for seconds before covering with the sauce. DAmn I wish I'd cooked that tonight!!

magic thing which made all posts which esentially say "I cooked and ate something awesome tonight" to say "I had supernoodles and melancholy for tea" I'd be very grateful

But its not really about the cooking for substance thing, although it is that a lot, its more about being able to treat yourself and create something you can enjoy and share. Some nights I just want something solid inside me, other nights I want something I can thoroughly enjoy. Sometimes I'm hulishing* for something and if I don't have it that week, I'll always be thinking about it, and be really disapointed if I can't have it. Actually, you know what, I'm gonna get some liver tomorow while I'm in the 'fosters for my docs.
* Yiddish word to mean craving or longing for when it comes to food.

I haven't had liver for ages - last time I had it rare with a cherry & cherry brandy sauce and vegetable crisps.
That's it, I'm having liver tomorrow!

I cut it into strips, cut out any sinu, dip in seasoned flour and shallow fry as hot as I can in sunflower oil, I then cook it 'till a crust forms, flip, second crust, then remove. I need it extremely hot, I'd leave the pan on full burn for 5 minute before I start, 'cus I want that crunchishness and pink/red middle.
I serve this with sweated down onions, and a pasta'n'sweetcorn salad using salad cream (instead of mayo) and horseraddish.
The pasta thing is a bit studenty but its well tasty.

And the sweetness of that with the horseraddish lends perfectly well to liver. this is ovbously not trying to be any thing a tasty home cooked meal.
There is a turkish dish that is basicly deep fried and battered liver that is fucking lush, with a raw onion salad.
