So I forgot about this blog...

Okay, so I actually completely forgot about this blog - I do want to start blogging again, which is what lead me to coming back here... however, I think I want a different take on it this time. More like random thoughts rather than regular updates, because I think i've proven pretty well that I'm unable to maintain a blog with regular updates!

I'm thinking of starting afresh - probably away from blogger, since I've really gone off it. I might move to wordpress... Hmmm.

I'll be back.

I've been a VERY naughty blogger! =/

Well I've not posted on here for SO long - I actually completely forgot about it until just! HA. So I take it that i've lost what very little reading audience I actually had now! Oh well!

What do I have to tell you? Well, quite alot, but most of it I can't remember - I've been on holiday, or Alcudia, which is in Majorca, which is in Spain...... and it was surprisingly good, apart from the fact we went self catering and EVERYTHING there costs at least £2 more than you'd pay here, so we pretty much starved all week, apart from beans on toast.

In other news, I've turned my regular laptop into a Mac, oh yes. I wondered if it could be done, and it turns out that indeed it can! woohoo! It's awesome - it runs so much better than shitty Vista!

I also met all the Chris Moyles Show team the other night, which was pretty cool. I got us on the guest list for Rockaoke with the Chris Moyles show ... and.. yeah..

I've just realised that I'm really not in a typing mood and none of this is really reading that well, so, I'll leave it - and come back and do it again ... hopefully a little sooner than 2 months! Pah.

Ideas for vegan buffet food?

Does anyone have any ideas for vegan buffet food? I'm thinking of starting a catering company but I'm actually really struggling to think of different kinds of vegan food that you could use on a buffet.

It will have to be cold because we don't have the facilities to do hot dishes.

Any ideas and suggestions would be gurrate =D

Pic form my new phone/experiment

Well i have a new phone which lets me upload pics to this blog so i thought i'd give it a go. Woooo! This is a picture i took of a random figure thing in my living room.......Exciting, isn't it.

Tikka Masala-ish recipe if anyone wants a try?!

As promised I said I would post the recipe for anyone who wanted to try it out.
Here it is..
Everything used is available from Tesco (Extra) apart from the 'chicken', although they sell their own 'Chicken Style' fillets which are made with Gardein and are REALLY good.

1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
4-5 teaspoons of Tikka Masla powder
2 teaspoons of regular curry power
2 teaspoons of cumin
2 teaspoons of garam masala
Half 400g tin of Chickpeas
Handful of Spinach
Tablespoon or so of Sunflower spread or Olive oil
2x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
Small bunch of spring (salad) onions.
3 teaspoons of Mayola
1/4 cup of Coconut milk
4 teaspoons chili power
4 tablespoons of Tomato Puree
1- 2 handfuls of Realeat 'Chicken' style pieces.

1. Chop onions, garlic, sping onions and fry them in the sunflower spread/oil for a few minutes. Add the Tika Masla curry power and the regular curry power and fry for another couple of minutes. (If it sticks and starts to burn (like it did with me!) add a bit more sunflower spread)
2. Pour the coconut milk over and stir in, fry for a while and then add the chopped tomatoes.
3. Add the rest of the spices, simmer for a few minutes, stir in about half a mug of water.
4. Add the 'chicken' style pieces.
5. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
6. Add Chick Peas Spinach and Tomato Puree, simmer for another 10 minutes.
7. Stir in Mayola and serve.

Give it a go.. and if you do, let me know how it comes out!
All the amounts are guesstimates because I just litereally go from what I think, so try and do the same... but it'll do as a guide!
Also, if you like Garlic, as I do you can add a good squeeze of garlic puree. YUM. =]

Best vegan curry ever!

Woop! I made a tikka masala type curry today and it was REALLY nice, I used Realeat 'chicken' and put in some chick peas too... and Spinach... and spring onions... that was just because they were reduced in Tesco, 3p for a bunch! BARGAIN!
I'll post the recipe tomorrow if anyone wants to try it for themselves, served it with the only naan breads I could find it Tesco which were actually vegan; which turned out to be the heatlhy low fat things and Hoummus, I just did the Hummus thing because I bought it and I'm not really sure what to 'do' with it......
BUT it was nice, dip naan into that and then in to curry and t'was really yummy! =]]

For dessert, I had Tofutti Mango and Passion Fruit ice cream topped with dried Cranberries and 'breakfast topping'... which is basically nuts and berries and shit. Again. Nice.

Wooop.... considering I just made it up and threw it together from random things I bought it went amazingly well. Haha.... and I have loads left over, so woot.

Jade Goody has died! =(

Well it's just been confirmed by Max Clifford that Jade has now died, I don't know when but I assume it would have been some time during the night, pretty odd that I randomly woke up at 4am this morning!

What a bad day to go aswell, on mother's day. =( Always a reminder to her mum and her sons.

But anyway, RIP Jade!
