For 3-4 large portions:
Bung 250g of those little red lentils into a pan with some turmeric, a couple of pinches of salt and maybe a 1.5 pints of water. Cook until sludgy, break it up with the back of a spoon towards the end – add more water if required. You can also add in a can of chick peas – I’d recommend the little dark ones if you can get them, and/or a handful of spinach.
Halve and thinly slice an onion and 2-3 cloves of garlic: don’t chop the garlic, you want slices. In a frying pan heat maybe 3-4 tablespoons of oil. When hot bung in a couple of teaspoonsful of cumin seeds, then add the onions/garlic and fry until darkish brown, this is critical – don’t burn it black but it needs to be way darker than you’d usually do it. Add half a tsp of onion seeds and a couple of chopped green chillies (to taste), then bung the whole lot into the dal along with a pile of fresh coriander, saving a few leaves for garnish.
Bish bash bosh – one of the nicest home Indian dishes I know, and costs fuck all.
THE END.

Incredibly unhealthy, but oh so tasty.
Alt Alt: Home cooked lazy curry. 2 onions, 3 peppers, about 16 chicken drumsticks all chucked into the slow cooker with two pots of Madras sauce. 6 hours later, a gorgeous curry, with nice moist chicken.
Alt Alt: Gusto, in Alderley Edge. The food was absolutely excellent, but I unfortunately had an upset stomach at the time, which led to the food making another appearance not long after. I had tenderised steak with black pepper and chilli, served with some brandy and peppercorn sauce.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna have for lunch, I've spent the whole day cleaning my flat, it's fucking imaculate now, proper good, even wiped down the telly unit and the underside of my coffee table. Tonight I'm gonna introduce Ma' to Game Of Thrones and make her some dinner, it's just some spagetti and tomarto sauce and kieves, its more of an assembly and heating job really.
I've seen some information about this year's new Macbook Pros, REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT ONE. I'm going to have to get saving, I think it'll be about £2250, but it would be totally kick-ass, and I'd get over a grand for my current one.

Alt: ham and cheese sandwich from Boots
Every night I think, "I'll take 5 minutes before I leave tomorrow morning to make a sandwich" and every morning I can't be arsed.
Alt Alt: I had shammi kebabs and Karahi Methi Gosht in Mirch Masala - because it's just over the road from my new flat and was apparently in the Top 50 Restaurants in Britain in 2009. I believe my starter dated from that year. Main was alright though.

even as a veggie, i fucking love that place. cocktails in the most stunning bar (iced raspberry absinthe fizz? yes please), and then what i am told by everyone else is the best steak in london, although as it is a steak restaurant, that's what you'd expect. even the puddings, which i never normally order, are to die for - warm crumbly peanut shortbread with salty caramel ice cream and chocolate drizzle, i think we had.
sadly it is on the £80-£100 a head side, though. but still. fucking NOM.

Two electrical circles going around the rim of a men's toilet, or some kind of wet detector. When it detects a cirtain level of wetness, a light comes up outside the cubical with a buzzer, and even worst, a light comes on in the main area of the pub. This is used to shame anyone who pisses and misses the bowl. Of course they could get around this by simply not pissing anywhere near the toilet, like in the corner of the room. It would have a break in it around the front because of withdrawl-dribbles.

although I have to go out in the pouring rain/hail to get to the kitchen to warm it up, so I think I'm going to sit at my desk for a little while yet.
I'm not sure Noodle Nation counts as a restaurant, but the time before that was back in January, I think. I don't think I've ever had a meal at an italian restaurant that was bad, but this was really quite good.
I do particularly want to go to Hawksmoor and L'Art Du Fromage when I have the time and money.
