Welcome to my blog

2011 is a year which gets better and better (with a few blips along the way). Belledesejour finished her study leave in Europe and came back to Australia just after Cyclone Yasi hit Far North Queensland. Thanks to good friends, the house was still intact and just as lovely as I remembered.

Belledevoyages has a a number of trips organised so this is the blog of her travels. Some trips are to old haunts and some are to new ones.

The perils of cooking curry

Saturday saw me preparing curry for a Saturday night with Peter and Rose...all under control...tandoori chicken and chani dahl..Madhur Jaffrey style -too easy...except...the end of the dahl recipe you add hot chili powder. I snipped the top off the packet and sprinkled the chili powder in, admittedly from a bit of a height..at the same time I was inhaling. I truly nearly died. Dropping the packet of chili powder on the bench I switched on the extractor fan which helpfully spread the toxic cloud within seconds to the lounge where Di and Dan were watching a movie. I have heard of death by chocolate, but death by chili???
