I have started to feel more like a human being again. Each day feels a little more like we're doing more than just surviving. Breastfeeding still going awesomely. I have been cooking. The house has been cleanish. Food is being prepared and children loved. It's all good.

I have been on a bit of a curry bent lately, making Barbara's "A Nice Beef Curry" which is awesome after a few days freezing. It was good after the long slow cooking, but awesome last night. Plus I also tackled making a jalfrezi. It was very loosely based on Barbara's Jalfrezi, which is on the same page, but I skipped the mangoes.

I also made a dahl, which I was not in love with, but it is the first time I have made a dahl, and I am starting to get a handle on Indian food so I can tweak it.

We made chocolate cake as a family, I am sure you all know. :-)

And tonight I made coq au vin. It's come out beautifully. The sauce is so good I want to just drink it up, or eat it with crusty bread. Mmmmm.

Vinnie has been sick and on antibiotics, but his appetite is back again, which is great. We've also had some fantastic meals from our friends.
