I used to do a chicken tikka masala in the crockpot - it froze well, and once I figured out what I was doing it became pretty effortless aside from the prep work.
My presentation never, ever looked like that, for sure. I was in workaholic mode back then, which was part of the appeal, and “didn’t have time” for that kind of nicety. But it froze well in single-serve portions on top of the jasmine rice. Mic, stir, and go.
Makes me want to run to the store, but no way I’m picking up worthwhile spices at Ruler Foods. Sounds like it’s time for me to make a Penzey’s Spices order, tho, unless you have a better suggestion for that stuff.
The rest was all off-the-shelf in any random grocery store. Nice and easy, and the wife doesn’t like it so I can go as heavy on e.g., cayenne as I want. Definitely a win…
Arguably, if that were the motivation, they could just as easily have landed on MissKey. That one is, to MK’s credit, human :)
MK also seems to have originated in Japan, so the mascot at https://misskey-hub.net/en/ is not at all unexpected.
Edit: And pretty damn tame as these things go lol
Hemlock comes to mind, as with or without your proffered grain of salt, it can be eaten but is definitely not edible. Those defs are posted in a non-pedantic way above, incidentally.
Also, thanks for the chance to use the word ‘proffered’ in conversation, it’s vanishingly rarely used outside the legal field.
