  I had to create/cook/photograph a recipe for an online site I write for yesterday and I had a quantity of leftover browned ground steak leftover.  I didn't want it to go to waste, and I wanted to create something tasty and slightly different with it.   Oh, I know I could have used this in a bolognese, but Todd's not a fan of pasta . . .  and I could have used it in a cottage pie, but again, I've done that many times on here.   Todd loves curry anything . . .  anything. If it has curry in the title he is first in line. He is so British.  The Brits love curries.

  I was pretty shaken up yesterday after my fall.  I am always so careful and I really came down with a thud.  I injured my left shoulder, which is the one which was injured in my car accident 20 plus years ago now.  I also hurt my left knee  I can really feel it today! Anyways, Todd decided to treat me to a takeaway for supper.  Five guys just opened up again for delivery so we had a Baby Cheeseburger and Fries delivered for each of us.  It was a real treat!   (with just the cheese and caramelise onion) Their servings of fries are HUGE.  Ginormous even.  Needless to say, we barely ate half of them, and I only managed 2/3 of my burger.  I hate waste however  . . .  especially when you are paying a premium price for things.   So I popped the leftover fries into a plastic bag and then into the refrigerator.  I had a think about what to do with them.  I am quite fond of eating cold fries for breakfast and pizza...
