Afternoon possums. I never liked Frank Ifield but my mum too did as a matter of fact. My instincts are better than hers were:)
I bought a cast iron casserole yesterday - and had to go home by taxi, ha ha, darn heavy they are. Good thing I bought spices before I bought the casserole. Not far from where I live there's a small Asian spice shop and I was the only customer so the sweet young man took time to educate me. He said when you fry ginger, garlic, onion and dried chili pepper together with garam masala, that's just the BASIC flavouring after which you add THE OTHER spices. Did you know that?? I thought garam masala was it but he said when somebody says they made a garam masala curry well that's when he knows that they don't know what they're doing. (He said it very nicely though.)
Ha ha Jude what an odd "walking" experience...! Surpassed only by this one, one of my favourite skits from Smack The Pony
