Andy's Cooking Adventure #1

OK I need to be fair and tell everyone that my first cooking adventure was partly an example of why some planning may be required before cooking. I had hoped to be eating Lamb Korma last night but well, you'll see why it's now tonights dinner instead.

I went shopping and gathers a good collection of spices and put them into my new containers. I found everything except the elusive Baba's curry powder so I had to make it up instead. But I got most of what I thought would be the elusive things:



A warning to all those who are still learning like myself, you need more than a fork and muscles to make garlic and ginger into a paste (no matter how long you mash at it). This lead to my first purchase for cooking purposes - a wand blender:



And so without my blender I resorted to a rather bland meal of spaghetti on toast. Only to regroup and begin again the next day.
