Berocca or vitamins

[Bodie80]

Does anyone on here take any kind of vitamin as a daily supplement ?
I occasionally have a berocca if I've a hangover or am on an early shift. Don't know if it does me any good but after taking it I do feel a bit better and certainly more awake. Could just be the placebo effect, I don't know. One thing for sure it makes your p1ss very orange which makes me think you are getting rid of any goodness if there is any in the tablet.

You will excrete excess vitamins.
On a personal note, I believe that a decent balanced diet should provide you with everything you need... although if I ate nothing but spam, I'd probably need a supplement or two...

I try to stay away from processed food - prefer to do my own cooking.
Current fave is Cambodian chicken curry - absolutely gorgeous!

Never had that but love Chicken and also love curry. What does the Cambodian part add to it ?
And you are right, home cooking is so much better than processed crap

Looks more Thai to me - make a lot of those... but this one is sooo nice!

This is it.. (well how I do it...)
600g chicken thighs cut into chunks
2 tbsp curry powder (I use medium hot or jalfrezi - anything really but I usually use some kind of indian one)
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp turmeric
2 tbsp sesame oil
three chopped shallots
three chopped garlic cloves
lump of fresh ginger, chopped (about half a thumb...)
2 lemon grass stalks, chopped
chilli (I use two big tbsp of dried chilli flakes and seeds I got from work, but you can use fresh)
sweet potatoes to same weight as chicken, cubed
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp dark brown sugar in 150ml water
2 400ml cans of coconut milk
smallish bunch of fresh basil and fresh coriander

Put the chicken in a bowl, cover with HALF the turmeric, garam masala and curry powder. Mix it so everything is covered. Leave aside for a bit - longer the better but up to you.
Heat the sesame oil in yer wok, add the shallots, garlic, ginger and lemon grass, chuck in the rest of the turmeric, curry powder and garam masala along with whatever chilli you're using, then chuck in the chicken and fry for a few minutes till chicken is sealed.
chuck in the fish sauce, sweet potatoes, coconut milk and sugary water, stir well, bring to the boil then simmer for a while. I usually leave it for 15-20 minutes, which is how long it takes to do the rice... (if you have it with rice - up to you )
when all done, chuck in the chopped basil and coriander and serve.
The above recipe should do 4-6 decent portions easy...
