But I need to:

Finish off some crafts and get them in the post
Post some yarn to someone
Wind off 50 g off a yarn cone so I can send a package to someone else
Tidy more of living room and vacuum
Vacuum stairs and landing, maybe re-vacuum hallway (front half was done earlier in week)
declutter, sweep and mop edges of kitchen floor
Laundry

DS has a doctor appt after school so not sure if I'll get it all done like I did yesterday's list but here's hoping!

Chilli or curry?

I don't know how to make curry . . . I may have all the ingredients for chili. I have onion, garlic, the spices, all kinds of beans, not sure my status on tomato sauce and or diced tomatos - Ill have to look. I know I used my last jar of spagetti sauce last night. And I might have a box of corn bread mix to go with it. . . if not I have crackers for sure.

If you're not tied to trying to reproduce a specific type of curry, it's pretty easy, it's the sort of thing you can chuck whatever you have in. I usually use a commercial curry powder as my base spice then add extra of whatever I feel like, often extra cumin, extra turmeric. But you could just mix up your own spice mixture entirely with things like chilli, cumin, turmeric, coriander, depending what you want. Yesterday I mostly followed a recipe, except I substituted my usual curry powder for the red curry paste it said to use, but often I just go for korma style, coconut - usually a mix of creamed and desiccated, milk (any variety, coconut obviously add extra coconut-iness), mild curry powder, garam masala powder (another commercial curry mix, it doesn't have to be cooked so sometimes is referred to as table spice), turmeric, chicken then towards the end add some sultanas, and some ground almonds.
