Father's Day!

Hi Guys!

So today is fathers day as you all know.

I would like to wish my dad a lovely day.

My dad and I. 02/03/1993

We don't really see eye to eye and our relationship is pretty touch and go. 

It's been very hard for me because of things that have happened in the past to let go of the resentment.

But I have tried my hardest and I know that sometimes I may not appreciate him as much as I should.

Regardless of our ups and downs I still realise how lucky I am to have a dad and have had the opportunity to have a relationship with him, even if it isn't the kind of father/daughter relationship I had hoped for.

No matter what happens or has happened I will always love my dad.

He is the only one I will ever have.

Happy father's day Dad!

I would also like to say happy father's day to my mother.

My Mum and I. 1996

There have been long periods in my life when she has been both my mother and father.

It must have been really hard for her to take on both roles, especially knowing that my dad was still a part of my life.

She did such a good job raising me and I would like to thank her for everything she has done for me and no doubt is yet to do for me.

I love you Mum.

Always.

The fact of the matter is without both of them, there would be no me.

I am eternally grateful to both of them for everything.

They can never be replaced.

Stay safe

Homemade Indian style curry

Hi Guys!

I know I haven't posted in ages but things have been pretty hectic. My apologise.

So today I have spent some time making a gorgeous Chicken Curry to have for dinner tomorrow & I thought I would share the recipe with you lovely lot.

My yummy curry!

You will need:

2 onions

butter

meat of your choice

tin of tomatoes

Spices:

Garamasala

Cumin

Turemeric

Curry powder

Chilly power

Paprika

Coriander

This recipe can be adapted to suit your tastes very easily.

So slice the onions up how ever you like them (Personally I chopped mine)

Put them into a large saucepan with about 3 nobs of butter and cook them until they are soft.

Once the onions are done add the meat (Bare in mind that if frozen you will need to defrost the meat and cut it up into chunks or slices) and then give it a good stir.

After that add the spices. It will depend of exactly how spicy you want your curry but I add half a tea spoon of Chilly powder, 2 tea spoons of Curry powder and then 1 teaspoon of the rest of the spices. Once they have all been added stir it well so the meat can absorb the spice. Allow this to cook for about 5 minutes.

Now add the tomatoes. This again can be adapted. As I don't really like tomatoes I only added half a tin to my curry and I also blended it before I added it. If your a fan of tomatoes then it's okay to just tip the whole tin in. Again stir the curry.

If the curry looks a little dry then add some water.

Cook on a low heat for 1 hour and make sure that it doesn't boil dry.

Once it is all cooked leave the curry to rest before serving.

Personally I like to have mine the next day so that it has properly rested and is lovely and thick.

Then enjoy!

Simple as that.

Hope you have some fun making it!

Stay safe

Paige
