Extra Easy Day

[Lazza]

Today has been a bittersweet day...my Mums Wedding Anniversary, but unfortunately Dad not with us to celebrate.:sigh::cry:

So, usually we would treat ourselves to a takeaway curry. BUT....this time I cooked KHEEMA CURRY with SAFFRON RICE, from the Extra Easy cookbook (FREE) accompanied with FREE onion bhajis, I got the recipe for that from our leader when I won our raffle prize in class.

To finish with I made the CARROT CAKE with PINEAPPLE frosting, from this months SW mag (6.5 syns).

All of it was delicious! Although quite a bit of work, started cooking at 2pm, and started eating at 8pm!! Whoops, was never very good at time management!!!
