Cookin’ like I’m Campin’
So I’ve been living in the office this winter, and one thing it lacks is a proper kitchen. I have a microwave & my camping gas stove, plus a small frying pan, couple of plates and a few bits of cutlery. It’s a bit like camping, I love it! I’m getting quite good at it now. I’ve got a larder out in the garden, where I’ve got loads of vegetables in tinfoil container prepped and ready to make stir fries & curries & the like.
Last night was a madras curry. I’ve got a good, strong patak’s paste from the English section of the supermarket & fried off some onions/peppers, added paste, fried it up a bit more, then transferred it into the camping cooking pot with some water and tomatoes to simmer for half an hour or so. Rice is fairly straightforward in a tupperware tub in the microwave, and voila - a pretty good vegetable curry for me tea. And for lunch today as it goes. I bet it’ll be even better the second time around.
Maybe I’ll have a dinner party.

You could always add the kettle, they tend not to cut out if you leave the lid on, it could then be used for steaming food, or possibly boiling food in it.
