Warning: System crashing
Finally sick. Sneezing and blowing nose is no fun. Bones aching. Very tempted to call in sick tomorrow. As it is, very tempted to sleep at the office desk now (ah...choo!)I'm also feeling very xian. Anyone fancy prawns with cashew nuts? Here's the recipe.
To buy or rear/grow/plant/harvest
600g (1 lb 6 oz) prawns, shelled
3 tablespoons oil
100g (1 cup) cashew nuts

60g (1/2 cup) sliced celery
½ green bell pepper (capsicum), cut into chunks
1 fresh chilli, sliced

Then you make the seasoning to marinate the prawns.
