  • What have you purchased recently?

    Quote from jaboo224

    Epic movie with the most retarded casting choice for a lead roll.

    The DC made that move so much more awesome than it already was.

    I am looking forward to Friday, I have been on a video game draught and haven't bought anything since November (when I lost my job ) but now with my upcoming job I can start to get back into the groove with Co-Op Resident Evil 5 and maybe some Halo Wars with the gf. This is preemptive "Look what I bought" post

    I just finished making myself noodles and diced chicken in a sweet and sour sauce and tomorrow I'm making a coffee cake for my girlfriend. And good man, curry is the best ever. You could also try one of my mums ideas involving fajita wraps, diced chicken, lettuce and a sauce combining mayonnaise and cranberry - it's awesome.

    ok that just sounds plain delicious.

    Right now I am drying out (roasting) some peppers. Good god my apartment smells heavenly.

    Yes I know we mainly deal with mapping and games and to a lesser extent movies/tv. But maybe some of you out there are some culinary experts. So what are your favorite things to cook (it can be anything from just Mac and Cheese to Chicken Florentine).

    I've been cooking more and more in the past few months and am trying to branch out to new and different things. I have cooked Indian, Italian, Asian and my parents got me this 660 curry recipe book for my birthday (which is really awesome), so I am trying to do more Indian and maybe new fusion dishes.

    Tonight I am cooking Curry Chicken Enchiladas, or at least going to try to . I can make a wicked Sweet and Sour Chicken (thanks to Fletch), and I have studied up on the Curry Chicken so I think things will go well. If my camera phone can take some good photos I'll post the aftermath, hopefully it is nom nom.

    So how about you?
