When does a “set of instructions to make food” become a recipe? Is it as soon as you have a set quantity for each ingredient or is it always considered a recipe? hmm… See I learnt to cook from my mum, and like any Indian cook I’ve seen, cooking is more about adding & testing ingredients whilst you taste. So of course, it’s really hard to write a food blog post, when you don’t know exactly how it started in the first place lol Anyway, enough of my ramblings 😛 Caramelised Paprika Pineapple.. just the word caramelised can make one drool right? I mean nothing bad has ever come…

It’s not until years later as a parent, that I now really understand what a daunting task it would have been for my parents.

#FreshStart Catchup (Week 6,7 & 8)
So, I’ll be honest, whilst the last couple of weeks have been super busy, it’s been kinda boring too. If you’ve been on the imnotsupermum facebook or instagram pages, you’ll see that I had a couple of dentists appointments. Blergh. I really really dislike going to the dentist. I’m not sure why. I’m sure they are lovely people 🙂 A few months ago, I cracked an existing filling from about 10-15 years ago, and rather than go fix it (remember I hate the dentist?), I opted to wait and see what happens. What happened was it got painful! Like worse than childbirth painful! And, I’ve had 2 kids – one…
