I love living in this coun­try for one thing: great, rel­at­ively cheap, very fresh food. I just made myself the most scrump­tious pump­kin and tofu red curry with bamboo shoots and baby corn, and warm roti wraps on the side. It took about 20 minutes all up, because the curry sauce was pre-pre­pared; I just added the vegies and the coconut milk. The wraps took a minute each to fry.

To go with it I had sour cherry nectar from the Czech republic.

We are so unbe­liev­ably lucky here.

Mean­while, they say pets grow to resemble their owners, right? I have man­aged to raise yet another cat so emo­tion­ally needy she refuses to keep eating unless I come and watch her… Anyone plan­ning on having a rela­tion­ship with me in future, take note!
