As I work away from home, I decided to buy a flat.  As a result, I'm now, at the age of 58, starting to learn to cook.  The problem is my wife is an excellent cook and although she has never stopped me cooking, I've always felt intimidated.  I liken it to learning to paint when you are given a painting set and setting out - circle for a head, stick body, two sticks for legs, two for arms, etc., whilst the wife is painting a Michelangelo next to me.

So, as a result, as I'm living alone I feel quite liberated and want to cook my favourite meals - curries.  I've been eating curry since I was four, as I was the youngest of 4 and my sister had married a Pakistani.  As a result, I was eating this food when everyone was saying that garlic was 'foreign muck' and yoghurt was ordered from the milkman, who didn't understand what it was.

Anyway, enough waffle.  I'm glad to be here and look forward to further experimentation.
