NomNom the finished product

This meal was so tasty - I do love a curry and wasn't too hot. I also like the fact that home made curries are considerably more healthy than take outs - and pre made micro meals.

Ease:          (8/10)

Look:           (8/10)

Taste:         (10/10)

Overall:       (26/30)

Anyway I better go and finished getting all  my clothes together, and then I have work after *sigh*. Tomorrow I've decided is dedicated upload day, so get ready for a lot of meals :)
