Ingredients: 4 oz butter, 3 large onions (finely sliced), 10 peppercorns, 10 cardamom, 2 inch piece cinnamon stick, 2 inch piece of root ginger, chopped, 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon chilli powder, 2 teaspoons paprika salt, 3 lb. chicken pieces, skinned (I usually used skinned chicken breasts), 8 oz natural yogurt.

The Road Less Travelled
And, certainly less travelled for me ... but it's true ... the smell of the tarmac is calling (that's if we ever get rid of the snow!!
Only 3 people have responded or commented on my site!! A little bit downcast about that!! By the way, I did post "how-to" points about making a comment below. So for now I will prefer to think that is intimidation and not that you don't love me xxxxx But if it goes on for much longer :{
Keep commenting and as I will keep on saying, keep clicking the ads!!

I keep searching and searching for you!!
Where are you? Not interested in supporting the cure to end breast cancer?
I did think that I would have heard from some of you before now!!! I know .... you all have busy lives ..... don't rub it in. But perhaps, you don't want to reveal yourself. That's OK, just choose a made up name when you enter a comment and make it a little provocative. We don't want this blog to be the most boring this side of the parallel universe. If you need a helping hand:
- click on comment
- enter text on right hand side text box
- click on circle for "other" or annonymous .... for me "other" is better ... you can then add a silly but clever name
- publish .... and that's all there is
- please do it often ....... post a comment I mean
- MOST OF ALL, CLICK ON THE ADS
If only I could be this addicted to exercise!
Oh yeah ...... can't leave blogging alone ..... and received my very first comment ..... thanks Annie Pannie xxx Kind words, kindred spirit and the kindling I need! But with this bloggging addiction .... seems like no time for those calf muscles. Yet all those skinny latte friends of mine are out there getting pumped. Looking good. Motivated and purpose driven. I've fallen of the wagon so much I'm battered and bruised. Can't get up ..... so the couch looks great!! Quiet contemplation is the order for the day. Yeah, I'll put off what I could do today ..... for tomorrow!! Isn't there a quote like that?????? :}
A host of golden daffodils
Do you ever think this day will come when Spring has sprung?
In the depths of February ..... it still seems a long way off.
For my two friends that are walking to find a cure for breast cancer. These days will soon come when all your training will be a breeze on bright Spring days.
Aren't daffodils the symbolic flower for cancer funding?
Is this a daffodil or narcissus? A jounquil by any other name ............

Second attempt
Hmmm, just lost my first attempt, so if at first and all that ......
It really isn't as scary as I first said!! After all, it's only emailing but on a bit grander scale. And, because we are all tempted to read the last pages of the book to see how it turns out, I snuck a peek at the preview and found my "first attempt". So without any further ado ....
I wanted to make a diary about my friends and family that we can all share, edit together, laugh about, get opinionated about and even find some opinions from others that we can appreciate, or disagree with and even snigger about. So here goes!!
Can someone out there help with velcro on the arse???? sic; couch mango!! Totally lacking in motivation. Strangely enough - only physically!! I am so fervent in all my dreams and ideas but the road to hell ........ Let me get to the point: two friends are training for a 60K walk ...... yes 60K and I am very envious. Know in my mind and heart I could do the same but can't seem get off the couch/TV or the internet. Perhaps I can talk my way through it (with some thoughts and ideas from you!). Oh yes, I was getting to the point ........ THIS IS WHAT THIS BLOG IS ALL ABOUT ....... THE WALK TO FIGHT BREAST CANCER!! It takes place at the end of August so I need your help if I am to be part of it. Do you think that by committing to cyberspace I will actually do something about it. After all, verbalizing about it for the past six months hasn't changed a single thing! Desperate times call for desperate measures .....
