Friday Thoughts: Chinese Curry, Birthday Prep, and a Football Shirt Bargain

Yesterday was Thursday, but it wasn’t shopping day. Me and my mom broke away from our usual routine and went today instead. We still went to our usual shops and I picked up the same food I normally get, but this week I decided to try something new.
​
I picked up a tub of Chinese curry paste – the same kind they use in Chinese takeaways – and I’m currently cooking a Chinese beef curry in the slow cooker. I used beef skirt, since it’s the closest cut I could find that resembles the beef from the takeaway. I’ve added peas, white onion, and mushrooms too. I haven’t tasted it yet, but it looks exactly like the real thing and it smells great. I’m leaving it on for a few hours to make sure the beef goes tender.

While we were out, I also picked up a co-ord short and t-shirt set for my nephew. It’s his 7th birthday on Tuesday. I’ve ordered him a few more things from Amazon as well, and they should arrive tomorrow.

Talking of deliveries, I had one midweek. I’m not usually a fan of football tops, but I’ve had my eye on the Man United third kit for a while now. It’s white and has a proper retro look to it, and instead of the usual United badge, it’s just got the devil from the logo. The only thing that was stopping me from buying it sooner was the price – £80. But the Man United spring sale is on at the moment and they had it for 50% off, so I didn’t mind paying £40. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to wear it over the weekend.

Anyway, that’s my little update. I hope everyone’s had a good week and has a nice weekend ahead.
