L is for Learning Fast and Liking Curries.

Bing has had his very first experience of the beach....and he loved it. We played alongside Elsie and Freida, retrieved his ball when thrown, paddled in the sea and followed Jon closely when walking.

On the home front all has settled down to normal in the henhouse. Mabel, Olwyn, Eva and Bev are happy and healthy and providing us with fantastic eggs. Whilst Jon and I both enjoy eggs we often find ourselves with a glut and I have a session in the kitchen to use them up.

My next batch of scotch eggs are going to be quite different following a new curry recipe I adapted. I buy a very very lowfat sausage meat which is suitable for my Slimming World diet so when I came across a recipe I fancied trying I substitiuted turkey mince with the sausagemeat. The result was absolutely gorgeous so my next step will be to use the mixture for scotch eggs....this is my adaptation.
