Hooray, it's a 4-day weekend this weekend for people who work in offices. Being self-employed, I'll probably still wind up doing some work, but my hubby gets a nice break. To kick it off properly last night, we drank the last bottle of Canard-Duchene Grande Cuvee Charles VII that I ordered from Majestic.
We really enjoyed this wine, as we did the last time we drank it. What surprised me this time was that there is just a hint of vanilla on the finish, a really pleasing touch to what is otherwise a very clean champagne.
And I realised as I was sipping my bubbles that we were again eating a Thai green curry, something we tend to eat a lot now that pasta isn't my 'go-to' dish anymore. For those of you thinking, "boy do they order out a lot", I actually make this at home, having found a very nice, oil-free, green curry paste at Ocado. With chicken and plenty of veggies, it's actually pretty healthy! I recommend you try this as well as the champagne!!

I shall have to get some curry tips from you. Since we moved to Chicago I do ALL the cooking ad have discovered curry pastes and how simple it is to make a nice curry if you have some low fat coconut milk. But yet the oil free version plus the low fat cocout milk would make a huge difference in the fat and calorie content of something that can be quite healthy.
ReplyDeleteYup, totally healthy that way. Sainsbury's does a good oil-free red curry paste, too, shall we will have to do a curry-making night when you return!
