Gentle snow falling outside. Mrs. Piper said, “You’ve not made your really good chicken curry for a long time. It’s perfect for a night like this.”

So, busy working on chicken curry, coupled with a rice pilaf. Will use roasted Masala curry powder/kerriepoeier from South Africa.

Ravi Shankar playing in the background. Glass of Wolf Blass for the cook (yes, I know that’s not from South Asia. 😉 )

What’s on the menu for you?

Hit Soup Plantation for lunch. Now we are munching on Poppycock while sipping a vodka martini (her) and a rye Manhattan (him) before binge-watching something in our Netflix queue.

Peace. Peace is on the menu. The missus took the kids out, and I stayed in with leftovers. I just finished some navy bean soup and a few little cocktail pizzas (you know, the ones on those little rye squares). With a pint of Urban Chestnut Zwickel. While I sketch out plans for the decorating project I’m working on.

It’s been a nice dinner.

We have left over chili. I think I will do some chili dogs. Mr.Wrekker doesn’t like to eat much on weekends. It’s a carry over from his working days. He may eat a hot dog or just a bowl of chili. My daughter is home from college, but she and friends are going out. They will probably have fast food of some sort. I will cook something nice-ish tomarrow. Maybe a lasagna or a casserole of some sort. We will see.

Ravi finished his disc just as I put the chicken in the oven. So I’ve got Michael Grey’s “Shimla Hum” on while I work on the pilaf.

(“Shimla Hum” is Indian-themed bagpipe music. 🙂 )

How was the curry? I happen to know that Wolf Blass’ Chief Winemaker Chris Hatcher recommends their Yellow Label Chardonnay or Shiraz with [chicken curry](http://womensweekly.my/lifestyle/pair-chicken-curry-wine/).

ETA I see you haven’t eaten yet. So does it smell promising?

What do you include in London broil? Sounds good.

I generally prefer beer with curry, but YMMV.

Yes it smells good, but the kerriepoeier may be a bit stronger than I’m used to. I was coughing as I was dry-cooking it. Then Mrs P came by and said: “It smells good, but the curry sort of grabs you by the throat, doesn’t it?”

We’ll see how it tastes in half an hour or so.

Mrs P just walked through the kitchen, coughed, and said: “Piper, you took a flyer on that South African curry powder, didn’t you!”

Michael Grey is playing an Indian-themed rage-pibroch.
