Had all the family around yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Was a last minute decision to do all the cooking in camp ovens.

It was an Indian themed dinner. Beef Vindaloo Curry, Lamb Rojan Josh Curry, Chicken Korma Curry, steamed rice, Indian saffron and nutmeg creamed rice for dessert and a chocolate mud cake that Maggie iced to look like a camp oven.

Was a great night and as always an easy to cook meal in camp ovens although the cake was made the day before.

Here are the photos:

Three pots of curry cooking away

All set out ready for serving. Three curries, rice(used the absorption method) and a dish of yoghurt

Starting to get ready to hoe in

The COCIA camp oven cake. Colours didn't come out in photos real good. In reality it was a very dark grey colour. Three layers with chocolate icing between. Handles were liquorice

No Maggie, the lid doesn't come off

Yes, I was sixty Roll Eyes

Cutting the cake

Inside. Very delicious
