It has been a particularly sad week for my family this week and we have all been feeling a bit down.
Today I remembered that we had agreed to host a curry night for friends on Thursday. We had considered canceling but actually am sure it will do us good…but am so far MASSIVELY unprepared and am working from now until then.
So, where does one turn in their hour of need?
I tried twitter.
Earlier today I sent a heartfelt plea for easy lamb curry recipes STAT.
The fantabulous SAHDandproud came instantly to my aid and forwarded my plea to two other bloggers he thought may be able to help.
And they both did.
My Daddy Cooks replied straight away and e-mailed me a recipe from his fabulous cookbook that sounds simple enough even for me. He has a fantastic video-cookery blog so if you are ever in need of mealtime inspiration check him out here.
The Curry Guy also came to my rescue and for all things Indian his cookery blog is a must see. Check it out here.
Freddie and Reggie showed me a good way to cheat and Mini Munchkin Market pointed me in the direction of a Jamie Oliver recipe.
On top of all of this kindness that wily minx Motherventing made me laugh so hard I choked. Nothing to do with curry.
Tweeps, I salute thee.
Twitter, I adore thee.
Thanks folks.
Always a pleasure, darling. Glad I could brighten your day! (please don’t choke) XX
*coughs* …you are ace. Will hopefully be free for a drink next week if you fancy. Will text you x
Glad to have helped out. That’s the thing with Twitter. People do like to help. 🙂
Seriously thanks so much dude. Now have also found two great new blogs. Yay!
I would definitely have turned to a takeaway of good repute!
Take care, lovely….x
This could still happen!
aww hope things are looking brighter and the curry goes down a storm 🙂 x
Thank you honey. Will hopefully be a good night and will try really hard not to poison anyone 😉
Yummy I wish I was on the guest list lol. Will have to check out daddycooks recipe as I love that site.xx
You would be very welcome!

This company are so cool it hurts and the monthly meal kits they sell are awesome. We have signed several people up to their 3 or 6 month deals and have never had a bad experience.
Love to all in JB land

Sounds intriguing. Monthly meal kits? You eat curry for a whole month? Awesome! 😉
Will check it out, thanks dude x
I also love Twitter for this, it provides so much love and support from strangers, what a positive place to hang out! I hope you enjoy your curry night with friends and you are right, it is a good thing to go ahead and do x
Thanks Corinne. Am sure it will be a fun night x
Nice one Jen.
I remember life before mobiles and the Internet. Mobiles I could do without. The Internet?
Not on your life.
*shudders at the thought*
Ahhh Twitter is fab! I turn to Twitter instead of Google for most things these days! x
Me too! Weird eh? People are just so nice.
HI huni, I’m sorry about the late reply and read of this blog, I am sorry to hear you had a touch time, but I am glad I helped a lil bit! How did you evening and curry go? I love twitter too- it’s amazing how people who have never ever met can help out so much.
I am running a charity event in aid of Manchester Children’s Hospital next month. I cannot believe how many amazing raffle prices I’ve received from lovely people via twitter!
I love twitter and I am proud to be….
