I think the new year is always a time for
looking both forward, to what is yet to be, and
back, to what is now just a memory.
At this time of year I always remember James,
my partner who died four years ago - I remember him with
both love and sadness, for the difficulty of his life
and the waste of his tragic death.
But, I also remember the good things, and
especially the fun we had cooking together - he
loved my food, especially my curries, although
unlike me he preferred less hot curries - I like curries
that are truly fiery!
And the other day I found my recipe/food journal
that I kept in 2015, the year after his death.
In it, right at the beginning, was my recipe for
Butter Chicken Curry, which he loved,
and I still do.
So here it is, shared with love and
fragrant memories of what time cannot
take from us.
The quote - from that beautiful
song 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was
one of James' favourite songs, and I
had it played at his memorial service.
Offered with love and deliciousness
