I decide to stay at Ricardo’s gaff Thursday night to avoid the hassle of an early start. The plan was to go for a traditional English meal…………a curry.
Turn up at Ricky’s ( I sometimes call him that amongst other things!!) He’s showing Slap how to prepare butterfly prawns for a prawn curry, the kitchen is spotless. We’re having home grown instead. Ricardo’s carefully laid out all the essential ingredients; garlic, ginger, onions, coriander seeds cumin, turmeric, ect. All that’s missing are the TV cameras.
At this point slap is sipping his pint having already observed Ricardo prep and cook a chicken curry. Ricky takes great pleasure in discussing his cooking apprenticeship (4 months of guidance from a restaurant) must have been hell for the restaurant!!!! I later discover that Slap is a food monster, sorry food connoisseur. He nods approvingly at Ricky’s efforts.
Took some time out to listen to few tracks on the hard drive, tracks he’d converted from his vinyl collection. Wow he’s got some great stuff.
Suzy(Ricky’s misses) and Sandra(her friend) return having been out to buy Naan bread. I explain to Ricky how to cook rice the Jamaican way, he’s very impressed. Recipe on my website!!!
The meal and company was fantastic, the Beer and Vodka helped. Great meal Ricky. Slap and I did the gentlemanly thing and walked Sandra home. At this point the alcohol was kickin in. We got slightly lost on the way back.
Off to bed, shared a room with slap. Didn’t sleep all night…………….more later.
