Up the bum - no babies!!!
Got two of my daughter's friends and their mums coming over for a trampoline/picnic in the garden. Am doing chicken wings (one lot in a sort of bbq sauce and the other in a spring onion/ginger/five spice/soy/garlic one), some sausage rolls (from frozen), a feta/black olive/red pepper crustless quiche and garlic bread (both shop bought), salad, cream cheese and chive hula hoops 
and then have bought some little caramel squares for a puddingy thing and will do some banana/garden strawbs ice cream milk shakes later too.
So......errrrr.....no dinner.

Bloke at work gave me a massive courgette yesterday <insert own joke here> so we had baked courgette with breadcrumb, parsley, butter and parmesan crust for starter, then grilled mackerel, new pots and salad.
Never tried mackerel before, goes straight to the top of my favourite fishes list, loved it.
Tonight will be baked tatties & cheesy beanz.

worked it out now!
Leftover curry from the freezer (saag paneer, mixed Indian veg) plus one more yet to be decided plus garlic bread & rice. I'm going away for 5 days so it's eat what is here already.

I FOUND THE JERK PORK!
It was stuck to the jerk chicken (which is all I'd seen the last time I looked)
but in separate bags so I did manage to successfully prise them apart!
So THAT, grilled, with the broccolli that REALLY needs using now, courgettes - cos I'm starting to get a glut on my plants
- and rice.
Strawberries for pudding

The recipe calls for a baking potato (and I guess it would have to be that really to get em nice and crispy)...they're the Delia ones I've posted up before (and I use a much smaller quantity of feta and they're still lovely - cook em longer if you want them really crispy/crusty...although really a mixture of the two is best!

Smoked mackerel is lovely too ringo
Ah, this was smoked mackerel with black pepper, forgot to say. Will have to try them fresh too, but loved these.

I'm not really following the thread title as this question does not really merit it's own thread. Anyway I was following a recipe yesterday (pinto bean chilli) which had ingredients of fresh chilli and also dried chilli.
Does anyone know what difference it would make to the taste using both fresh chilli and chilli powder? It just seems a little weird to me asking for both.

Fresh chillis can vary hugely in strength and add a fresher taste than dried chilli powder, which is usually just uniformly hot.
Does it say chilli powder or dried chilli? Most Mexican recipes utilize dried chillis because each variety of local chilli has it's own particular taste (many are not hot) and are dried in a number of ways. For some, like the poblano, it's all about using smoked chillis and the taste that gives the dish, not the heat of it.
