but I just found a new recipe.
It starts with the basic batch sauce, onions, garlic, ginger, oil, tomatoes and spices. Go easy on the spices and tomatoes, this is a backgrond sauce. Boil it, then liquidize it.
The new thing was this, liquidise some onions with water, and then cook it, wothout colouring, till its almost dried out, kind of like a bread dough to lk at, but its much loser. (It is incredibly sweet, Imade it with french yellow onions, known for their sweetness).
Then make up a garlic/ginger mix, and make you fav curry with some meat, the main spices, qhatever veg you need, and the addition of the onion paste and base sauce.
I made three in about 20 mins, korma, buter chicken and jalfrezi, and they actually taste a damn sight better than the last curry I had in the UK! Dare I say it, the nicest I have ever had!

I actually went on on 3 month indian curry course, I alway cook the the onoins until slightly brown to give flavour, then spices (fresh the better).
Try adding these to your curries:
Dried Methi Leaves (hard to get fresh)
Black Cardamons
Black Slight (sulphur smelling, but tasty).
Lots of fresh coriander.
My favourite dishes are Aloo Ghosht and Saag Palak.

Cat get dried fenugree leaves that easilly, I have to order them, but I stil have a lot of my existing spices so its not time to order yet.
Black Cardamoms are great, I use them in Jalfreizi with cloves, gives a lovely deep and warm flavour.
Last nughts vote was the Butter Chicken was the best, so I am remaking it tonight.

Look out for the "East End" brand, dried methi leaves come in a small box, our local Asda / Tesco do them, but most of the time I go to our local asian supermarket - stuff there is cheap as chips.

Unfortunately I live in France, so I have to get much of the basic stuff on line, but god tip. They don't do them fresh do they as well? I never tried growing it from seed, I should order some, but I have heard fresh it is even better.

When was the last outbreak, 2000?
We had the media winding us up about H5N1, chicken flu, avian flu, chinesse stirfried chicken flu, and pretty much everythig else, so I am tempted to say, dont sweat it.

Precisely - sweat is one of the transmission vectors. I'm looking forward to the government health warning campaign slogan "Don't pet the sweaty things"

But don't they have a point with the flu thing? As I understand it what we call Common Flu now is a strand of the Spanish flu which appeared in 1918, travelled back with the returning WW1 Soilders and ended up killing more people than WW1. The reason it doesn't kill as much anymore is we;ve built up an immunity to it. But every hundred years or so the Flu virus manages to mutate into a strain that can bypass our immune system and kill a high percentage that contract it. I think all the strains you have mentioned have the killer aspect, they just can't be airbourne yet and it's only a matter of time before one of them acheive this through mutation or cross strain breeding?

They're taking them to a hospital right near the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. These guys kinda know what they're doing...
Besides, worst case... It's just Georgia...

LOL: quite like Atlanta but the rest is a redneck wasteland.

Can't they just disimigrate them back to Nigeria?

yeah right. That's why they accidentally shipped the deadly 5N1 bird flu strain (I think that's what it was) to several labs around the country, and it was only discovered recently.

[edit] Oh yeah, your question. Overreaction. [/edit]

Little Marcy he declared,
have you heard of the CDCs?
And little Marcy said yes,
though he felt weak in the knees.
And I wouldn't trust 'em

A couple of months ago I noticed that IE on my Windows 7 machine quit rendering sites properly. Especially Microsoft Knowledge Base sites which would not let me select a different version. (FireFox does fine).
As IE is the company standard, and I thought it would be nice to at least try to use it. So after the problem appeared with IE 9, I upgraded to IE 10 still had the problem. But since I had FireFox I use it when IE does not work.
Today I tried upgrading to IE 11, no luck, still broke.

You're not the only one. My client uses Exchange Server 2007 for email support, and since I cannot join their domain, nor do I care to, I use the web interface, and it's okay. On my backup development system IE 10 (same version on the laptop) has a brain fart when trying to connect to the email - rendering just collapses into a singularity.
