I have never eaten a curry at a restaurant, or at anyone’s home, or anywhere at all.
Attila and I have been watching the series, Rick Stein’s India, in search of the perfect curry. Such a great series, and we both really like Rick Stein, so down to earth, and humble. So I looked him up on the internet and found a recipe I though we could try, Cod Curry. I chose this recipe because we eat fish once a week, so we have cod in the freezer, and in the pantry we have most of the ingredients called for in the recipe (but not all).
We LOVE Cod Curry!
It wonderful to find a new recipe that is healthy (almost, tweaking required), and delicious, and inexpensive.
We reduced the sodium by half. We did not include the fresh curry or coriander leaves. But we did use the full amount of coconut milk, to see what it would taste like.
Coconut milk is full of saturated fats, so that one serving of this curry provides more than the recommended amount of fat for the day. For those of us who need to worry about our blood lipids, this stuff is definitely something to avoid. Our next Cod Curry will use almond milk, mixed with a teaspoon of corn starch, as a substitute for the coconut milk. I hope it tastes as good!
We went for a walk in the rain this morning. It wasn’t warm, 4C. We dressed appropriately, and so enjoyed ourselves. It rained most of the day. We decided to take another walk in the rain, since our gear had dried during the day. On nice days there are people out walking everywhere! Today, we were the only people out for a walk, and this morning there was one die hard jogger out with his dog for a run. Other than that, we had the curb of the road to ourselves. Traffic was heavier than usual.
We walk daily, with rare exception. I regard the walking as training for surgery, as the surgery I might be facing with my aneurysms could be very challenging. I may never need surgery, that is the best possible outcome. If I need surgery I may be eligible for less invasive procedures, another relatively good outcome. There may be new developments in treatment that preclude surgery, which would be great. But in the meantime, I am in training. And you know, walking is really good for me in so many ways, and I think that, if my health issues evaporated, that I would continue to walk daily. When I was a graduate student I walked at least five miles a day, every day, and loved it.

Maggie, I loved your quote. Thank you for the Sunday morning smile.
Good morning Wendy, it made me smile too!
That’s a lot of walking! My DH walks a lot too, 2 to 4 miles a day with the dogs. I’d love to walk more but the meniscus in my right knee have deteriorated and after not much more than a block my knee can become painful. I’ve thought about have the meniscus replaced with artificial ones. I’d much rather do that than have my entire knee replaced.
Teri, walking is something we enjoy very much, and the fresh air and sunshine (when there is sunshine) are restorative. I had a torn meniscus that healed, but my knee is iffy. I also have arthritis in both knees. I went to a physiotherapist for my knee when the meniscus healed, and the exercises helped a lot. I don’t do the exercises regularly anymore, but if my knee feels even a little bit sensitive I start doing them again until it feels better. I also wear a neoprene knee brace every time I go for a walk, or know I’ll be on my feet for any length of time. Another strategy I have adopted is to go up and down sideways, taking one step at a time, holding the side rail. It takes longer, and looks funny to others, but I am trying to make my knees last without pain as long as I can. Here is an interesting website on stairs and knees: https://creakyjoints.org/living-with-arthritis/stairs-with-arthritis-knee-pain. Knee pain is so miserable! My Grandpa had his knees replaced in his mid 80s, and it made a big difference for him.
