Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl stirring with a whisk.

Key Lime Pie which I made today

1 pint of double cream
1 tin condensed milk
375 grams of digestive buscuits
150 Grammies of butter
6/8 limes squeezed

Mix double cream, condensed milk and lime joice in bowl with mixer u til quite thick.  Not too much otherwise it will curdle

Make a cheesecake base with the biscuits and butter.  Melt butter, crush the biscuits then mix together.  Put in bottom of dish and press firmly with metal spoon.  Pour over the cream, Leo it off, leave over night in fridge. And it's yummy next day. I make it for my fella who is American and he loves it

This a recipe that I aspire too on hot summers days like we have are having at the moment, but I always just end up mixing elderflower juice with lemon juice and add cucumber mint and ice and then drink it through a straw

I have just made the most gorgeous Eton Mess style 'set' dessert...so easy, thought I would share!  I got everything I needed in Asda.

This makes enough for four smallish portions, or two greedy ones.

All you need is

Strawberries (about half a supermarket punnet, hulled and quartered)
half a 250g tub of own brand marscapone cheese 
Three own brand meringue nests, broken into chunks
block of own brand white chocolate

Melt the white chocolate bain marie style  (I use a pyrex bowl over a pan of simmering water)  and immediately add the marscapone - stir quickly until it is smooth and creamy. Then just add the strawbs and the meringue pieces, pile into individual bowls and chill.  It sets quite firm, so is lovely with a big dollop of ice cream or pouring cream to loosen it up!

You can also use raspberries, but will need quite a lot as they stir away to nothing.  You can make a gorgeous cheesecake with this recipe too - just make a Hobknob biscuit base, and pile on the mix.  (You will need to double the quantities: two bars chocolate, more fruit and meringues and a whole tub of marscapone for a standard size cheesecake)  As I say,  it sets quite firm so you can cut it into slices.

Can he be more specific as to how much and which spices CLKD? Also how many onions and how much ginger. I know that most "own recipes" are guess work but if the proportions are wrong then the flavour varies loads.

I find the jars of curry paste to be very good. I don't mean a cook in sauce but a ready mix one.
You have to buy so many spices to make an authentic curry and unless it's something you do regularly than they go off quickly. I have jars lurking in the back of my cupboard that have only been used a couple of times.

Of course you can grind your own but to my mind life is too short for a mortar and pestal.   
Does your hubby use the usual CLKD...turmeric, mustard seed, cumin....the list goes on and on depending on what region you like.

I'm just making the 'HRT cake' my doctor gave me the recipe for, I posted this recipe a while back but if it's good (and it certainly smells like it will be!!) I'll post it again. I've made a few tweaks.

[CLKD]

Curries - he uses guess work.  So if he made chicken curry every night for a week it would taste differently every night.

Coconut milk; cumin; turmeric ....... I actually don't know which spices - no input I'm afraid.  If I do remember I will ask him.
