Up and At Em as they say!

Up early this morning, well early for us, since we are not usually early risers. Normally we get up at about 9-9.30 depending on whether we have a cup of coffee in bed or not. This morning we got up at 8-15 because I had to go to Thornton clinic at 11-55 for a blood test. This is something to do with some new tablets I am taking, that need a blood test after two weeks of use. So we did our Friday shop early and we took our money to Sainsbury's in Walton this time.Quite quiet today too, but very blowy. Got all our usual things, and a load of impulse buys that catch the eye on the way past them. Anyway we managed to spend £60 God knows what on. Didn't buy anything terribly expensive only two bottles of wine but the amounts stack up.
Cold today...I have one of those bodies that is always permanently cold. VT doesn't feel the cold and thinks I don't move around enough. He is probably right.
Tonight we are having:
A nice curry tonight. it is a Delia Smith recipe,
Curried eggs with Spinach, tomato cachumber. It usus a jar of M&S Tikka Marsala sauce which is fairly mild.
4oz white basmati rice.
Green beans, banana. mango chutney, Poppadum.
I do poppadums in the microwave, no oil or anything, just give them about a minute and they are good to go. I like all the bits you get with a curry that make it interesting.
Funnily enough, one of the worst meals we have ever had as a couple was a trip to an Indian restaurant in Formby for our Silver Wedding meal. It was so greasy..floating in ghee or whatever they used. Horrible. But the recipe I use is lovely.
