DH certainly got something a little different this morning... he enjoyed it though! Mine was nice and yellow from the turmeric, and beautifully spicy, I added a healthy dollop of plain yoghurt and drizzled it with a good tablespoon of honey, next time I can try adding fruit and such. DH approached it gingerly, but said it was jolly good! Certainly very easy to make, taking hardly any more time than the time it would take me to put together his usual muesli and fruit.

<p>For someone as outgoing as I am, it is astounding that I have been unable to do something as seemingly simple as filling out my home page, so consider this draft one...(or would that be daft one??)... <br /> <br />I am blessed to live an ordinary life, have family that I dearly love, get great reward from volunteer work, and have the luxury of indulging in far too much time cooking and reading about food. I am a retired nurse and have been married to a really wonderful man for 37 years. I am a happy person, and my life is very satisfying, but somehow I can't translate the essence of ME into words, as some on Zaar have done so well. <br />I particularly enjoy reading reviews, and the Q&A forum for all the expert and generous advice that the members share. <br />Since joining Zaar, I rarely use my extensive cookbook library...this is one terrific site. <br /> <br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG alt= /></p>
