Today James and I went for a run in the car to check out a beach that James had heard of at Mellon Udrigle. It did not disappoint - what a pretty sandy beach, with rocks further along, a promontory at the end, and rocky islets just offshore. We walked along it and looked at the small colourful shells at the shoreline. Then we went for a tasty lunch to the Gale Centre at Gairloch before heading back to Ullapool.
I decided to make some butter chicken curry to eat and also to freeze for entertaining. It involved marinading the chicken (and paneer for me) in spices and yoghurt yesterday. Then when we got back to the cottage this afternoon I made the sauce for the curry, pan fried the chicken and paneer, and finally simmered it all together. I have made this before at home, but I have many more pots and pans there. In Ullapool I had to wash the same couple of pots again and again, and decant the sauce into a Tupperware dish so that I could free up a pot. It was like juggling! Finally it was all made, and we had some of it for dinner. James declared it to be very tasty.
