Thou shalt not let good BBQ sauce go to waste. Lol
I've had a Provencal beef casserole in the oven for 4 hours, it's about ready now. I'll make some roast potatoes and warm up the casserole for dinner.
I'm making lamb curry tomorrow

I know that feeling. Housemate hates lamb. Unless it is lamb chops covered with Bearnaise sauce. So if I make a lamb curry I am going to be eating it for a few days. Poor me

Today I'm doing ham, carrots, deviled eggs using the Easter eggs, croissants and I promised my daughter some mashed potatoes just for her. Was gonna do spring salad but it turned cold and rainy.
I'll probably have a can of soup for dinner today.
I had frozen french fries(after baking them) last night, at the request of one of the kids.
Dull, but filling. Unfortunately, my stomach objected.

Feel better
I'm doing alright now, I just was sounding much more like a marching band than usual.
I just diced up some lamb. Later on I'll brown it was some spices, turmeric, coriander seed, cumin seed and garam masala then add about 4 chillies and a diced onion. Then cook it in the pressure cooker with a few vegetables (probably green beans and cauliflower). Not sure what type of curry it should be called but it usually tastes ok. Almost forgot... and a tin of coconut cream.

I am rather curious when you say "4 chillies". Here when I go to the store I will see more than 4 kinds of green chilies alone. They go from zero heat to, now we are talking! in temperature. When you consider all of the different versions of fresh chilis the number may be getting close to twenty.
It can be a bit frustrating since the best recipes for curries still tend to be British, and perhaps Australian.
Long green ones that grow wild in the backyard, not sure of the variety, maybe cayenne. Probably medium heat depending on if I've bothered to water them. I'd say just add what you enjoy. I like a bit of heat but not super hot.

Nice. A bit too cold here to grow peppers naturally. The only thing I have growing right now is rhubarb.
And that is what I do with recipes with vague terms. I tend to use serrano peppers the most. They are smaller than jalapenos, but one single serrano is far hotter than a whole jalapeno. I roasted some jalapenos the other day and they were lie candy. Seeds and all. Supposedly hotter with the seeds. Not these.
Actually jalapenos can be interesting I have had many a bland one and then out of nowhere one will make me take a step backwards.
I've noticed that, too.
I used to grow jalapenos and I love them but the last couple of times I grew them they got full of grubs so I'm giving them a break for a couple of years and hoping it breaks the cycle of whatever it was.
I forgot to add garlic to my list of ingredients, I'll be whacking in 4 cloves.
If you're lazy like I often am Aldi here carry a range of curry sauces called Silks spice cap and simmer sauce. There's a range of flavours and they're pretty good. Just cook the meat with the spices then bung in the sauce. Works good in a pressure cooker or just do it on the stove top. I have no idea if Aldi carry them over there though.

I have seen all sorts of simmer sauces and used them. They are usually pretty good. But I usually find the extra effort of doing it myself to taste a bit better and to be a bit cheaper, and I get a sense of accomplishment to boot.. But I really should have some on the shelf when I am too lazy to cook and still want something decent.I used to grow jalapenos and I love them but the last couple of times I grew them they got full of grubs so I'm giving them a break for a couple of years and hoping it breaks the cycle of whatever it was.

Today was Easter and the requested meat was ham. Boring and cheap. Not bad, but all that you do with a ham is to whack it in the oven at a moderately low temperature and warm it up. It is already "done'. Mashed potatoes and incredibly cheap asparagus. I am going to buy some more.
