Worked late tonight... lots to do before the deadline. There was another serving of Laksa left over, so we dug into that for dinner. Afterwards D. watched her Crossing Jordan while I cooked up some spag bol in much the same way that I did the "open pie" t'other night. Double-browned the minced beef in the pan (to prevent it stewing, and to impart a nice meaty flavour). Then the aromatics, seasoning, the cooked beef and some beef stock and wine to deglaze. A bit of tomato paste, a tin of tomatoes and some chopped cherry tomatoes. Then some roasted cloves of garlic and some parsely. A few chopped chillis and a slow bubble, with a bit of sugar and salt to balance near the end. I've dished this up for our lunches tomorrow, because we're meeting up with some friends in the hip Japanese restaurant next door. Now off to read more E3 news (the Sony press conference is happening soon)...
