Sorry I know I'm odd, but it helps me stay on track if I plan in advance and also commit to it by posting here lol.
Not sure yet, my boyfriend usually does curry, we're going shopping today if we can pick up some spinach I'll get him to do chicken and spinach, if not I'll let him decide, I fancy vindaloo but I think he prefer's beef vindaloo... might try and push him towards that though.

Don't be silly it's me that's getting confused you aren't odd!
Ooh yummy, will have to do a nice curry this weekend. Do you make the vindaloo from the sw curry book?

Sort of, we have the curry book and love it but boyfriend over the years had tweaked the recipes himself and makes them of his own accord, we keep saying we need to make some of the other bits from the curry book though and also from the asia book, I bought it the other week and haven't tried anything yet

Ooh nice I've got the book but only tried a couple of things the classic chicken curry is our basic curry then I go from there. I use that as a base for when I made peanut curry as it's got more spice than the other version on here. Yummy

Will try the chicken and spinach curry though, that sounds lovely.
I like a spicy curry but I'm a bit scared of the vindaloo! Mike my bf has progressed from madras to vindaloo to phal when we get a takeaway now, that one is ridiculous! I dipped the tip of my fork in the sauce and it burned for ages, he's crazy he eats it like it's nothing. Will give the curry book vindaloo a go soon though, will be brave haha! Xx

Also the peanut butter isn't too bad syn wise if you get the reduced fat. it's 3.5 for 1tbsp so I count 2 each and its well worth it. My favourite! X

We just have full fat in and I want my chocolate tonight, will def give it a go soon though.
Do you know what the phal is syn wise? We very rarely get Indian as a take-away but might remember that one for when we do. (If boyfriend gets vindaloo I can swap if it is too hot for me lol)
If you make the vindaloo from the book it isn't too hot and you can add spice a little at a time to make it the right heat for you, boyfriend has made it before for his parents and not added as much spice as he does if its just us and it was still yummy

Might stick with my vindaloo, like I say we never get Indian out unless we're with other people who are ordering, or sometimes when we visit his friends they'll order from somewhere that does Indian and pizza's and them 3 will have pizza's while I have a curry.
Thank you, hope you have a great day too.

Friday - travelling down to see boyfriends parents after work, going to try and fit a long run in and convinced boyfriend to take little one to McDonalds on the way down so that I have control over my tea as I can take it in a flask rather then having whatever MIL decides to feed us, will lose control of food for a couple of days so going to try and stick to it tomorrow
