Following Rhumsaa’s inaugural cooking of the Jamju pie it was my turn to test the recipe dreamt up on a highly creative day in the office. All I can say is wow. It would be stupid to try and explain how good this pie is. Just wow. Life is different now.
Dilema hit tonight as we can’t choose whether to go out for a Curry on Friday, get a take away in and watch Friday Night Fight Night or jump on a boat and drive down to Birmingham for the real deal.
Up until our last trip back I’ve never thought there was much difference between a Brum Balti and a Manx Balti but Don has always insisted you can’t beat one from the true home of Balti. Last trip back we had a take away from Balti Castle in Weolley Square and it was far and away the best Balti I’ve ever had. It has to be said almost worth the £200 odd trip in itself!
Usually wait until Friday to be a bit indulgent but this week hs been a nightmare from the start. Stared getting healthy food again, buying free range chicken etc etc but negated any benefits by eating three times as much because it all tasted so good! Top that off with the fact that today the healthy eating went out the window and I bought £4.73 of Pick and Mix and nearly got through it all with the help of a couple others at work and then had about a whole Pizza tonight.
The old man always said I’d be a big man when I filled out and I can’t help but feel this week has gone a long way towards that. Diet starts Monday. Heading back to Brum I’m sure we’ll do a curry at some point.
