Evening Kay - sorry to hear your still not 100%. I went to Asda today into the world food aisle, they didnt have the Rajah Tandoori so ill have to go to Sainsburys :-(

Hello how's your day been?

Hello Cookie hun, hope your feeling better . I'm sure this week will be your week, silly scales can never understand how they work sometimes . I guess we just have to keep the faith and keep at it. My day has involved a lot of rest, aunt flow is in full force at the mo and I've still got really bad cramps. I'm normally worse the first 3 days of my cycle, by day 4 cramps are normally gone. I will pop over to your diary in a mo, just going to post up todays eats...........

 

[Kay003]

Hi everyone just a small tip from yesterday about the Tandoori Spice Mix .

Once you purchase the packet and open it, its best to empty the contents into a jar with a very tight lid and then put it into your store cupboard. If you leave the packet open after use and pop it in the cupboard, be ready the next morning to eat tandoori flakes instead of cornflakes when you reach for your cereal . Oh the power of Indian spices, lovely to smell at dinner time but never first thing in the morning !

For those of you who aren't able to purchase this from your local supermarket, Amazon also sell it, here is the link to order it .

Rajah Tandoori Masala 100gms: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery

[Cookie21]

Aww Kay sorry about your tummy cramps! I'm lucky I don't always get them but I've had some tonight & it hurt something terrible but then it was followed by a visit from the PF. That's twice today since wi!

Thanks for the tip about the rajah spice & the link too. If I hadn't been so defeated earlier, I'd have bought it today I'm really looking forward to cooking it,
