    I am yet to come across a person who doesn't love kidney beans curry - rajma masala. We serve it with fragrant cumin and vegetable rice. Just before i left my mums, my sister made some and now i just want to eat it again.

    Kidney beans curry - rajma masala on table with rice

    For those in the UK with kids, how fast have the school holidays gone? My kids will be back to school in a little over 2 weeks. Not that we are in any way organised. I am going to miss my kids but i am also a little relieved that they are going back. Also right now as i am attempting to type, my daughter is holding onto my arm. Let me tell you, it makes something so easy a little bit difficult! In her defence, i should have finished this post before she woke up but in my defence she is the lightest sleeper on earth. I only have to shift a bit and she is up asking me what i'm up to so naturally she follows me down. My mini shadow.

      I need to try making this recipe it sounds delicious! I do not yet have any kids but can imagine how difficult it must be to get anything done if they are around. Home schooling - wow - couldn't imagine how much work that is! Hope the party went well!
