How lucky am I to be of a 'certain' age :-[ and to be able to eat and drink and enjoy anything I like and I so take it for granted.....
Working for the (more) elderly ::) I hear so much of what upsets their hiatus hernias, arthritis, BP, etc.etc......and they're all the foods/seasonings/condiments I love!
hmmm....time for me to get into the kitchen & make my tonight's curry, loaded with chillies, onions, tomatoes and topped with (shock horror!) cucumber raita & chopped hardboiled eggs......and, btw...it's only a bloomin basic potato and pea curry I'm planning to make!
And I promise I won't curse that I need to get the step ladder chair out to lift the large saucepan from the shelf because I can't lift up to reach it any more...
PS My dad introduced me to the fine delights of smelly cheeses at a young and impressionable age 8).....cheese and shellfish - God Bless You Dad 8) ;D
