About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Salmon and Curry


I wanted something to serve with the vegetable curry that I had made and left the choice up to my husband as he was cooking. The result was a bed of basmati rice, vegetable curry and griddled salmon on top. The curry was even better for being left for a day as the flavours really develop.

It tasted wonderful and brought back memories of a fish curries served in Goa, but not as fattening. I wouldn't do this with wild salmon but with farmed salmon which has less flavour it is ideal. The thick texture of the salmon can stand up to the curry spices very well.

This is a very low point meal considering the man sized portions, the rice was 3 points and the salmon 3.5 points. The curry was free. Imagine the portion size of a ready meal you would get for 6.5 points! Also the cooking time was 10 minutes as the curry had been prepared in advance.
