My mother used to make some good samosas. The secret is in getting the right mix of potato and pea. And to make it as spicy as is legally allowed.

Right.

Am I supposed to cook the potato first before the samosas go into the frier? Because I remember mine turned out semi-raw on the inside. You know how long chips take in the frier and they're in direct contact with the oil, but the pastry would surely burn, or the whole thing go soggy, if left in that long.

I think so. As with most done of this sort, pre-cooking the filling is a given so as not to hand most of the cooking to the fryer and risk burning the pastry. I'll have to ask mother about more details when I get back home.

Marinated chicken enchiladas with a salsa verde topping. Since it was the weekend, I marinated it in this concoction of chiles, vinegar, garlic, etc. for several hours.

Made the salsa verde from scratch, but it was a bitch to find tomatillos. Made fresh guacamole as well.

I had last nights left over pizza and it was glorious.

Last night ~ steak cooked with garlic and black pepper, sauteed potatos and ratatatatatooeeeee. Love courgettes.

Today as man is staying at his because he has jury duty tomorrow (how exciting is that?) I'm going to have stuffed crust pizza and tempted to go to shop of bottle of red ~ beware stupid thread starting shortly

Steak and twice-baked potatoes (with sour cream, chicken broth and garlic baked in on the second go-round) for me.

Mmmm ... gravy ... been a while since I had some good ol' gravy.

We had pork chops (from a local pork producer), sweet corn (from a local vegetable grower), and a salad made with cabbage (from another local grower).

I work for a farm organization, so I like to support the folks who help pay my salary. Besides...it was all sooooooooo goooooood. May as well enjoy all this wonderful stuff while it's still in season.

Edit: Although pork, of course, is always in season!

I'm about to have home made samosas!!! I have no idea what they will be like, but they look correct.

Bon appétit, as they probably don't say in India.

Me, once again on the move and with a delayed train, so took the opportunity to try another pasty from the West Cornwall Pasty shop at St. Pancras. Chicken Balti, this time - although I'm not sure if it's true Balti. Still, not too bad.
