I like Simon Reeve. I went to see him at a local theatre, he basically presented himself - how he got to where he is, what excites him about his travels, etc etc. A very troubled start, narrowly avoided suicide, and turned out a thoroughly nice bloke (IMHO).

My other half read his autobiography as a result of watching him on TV, and said it was a really good read.

Another evening of one-legged curry cooking. This time Sri Lankan chicken, with home grown lemom grass again. This one has you dry roast lots of spices, including chillies, until they are chocolate brown. The effect is a bit like tear gas ! But they mostly fight it out in the pan, and the end result is rich and delicious - or I hope it will be ...

One legged curry recipes - there has to be a book in that...!

Tonight's one legged curry was a Thai beef curry, lots of flavours in there including coriander both seed and leaf, cumin, citrus, lemon grass, lime leaves, peanut, tamarind. It has potatoes and squash in there too to save the bother of making side dishes. I do so much prefer one pot cookery.

The season really feels as if it's underway at last. My lunchtime salad had garden lettuce leaves and radishes, and dinner tonight included the first of my trough-grown carrots along with the last of last year's french beans. Dessert made with strawberries from the greenhouse.
