I am not feeling all that good for the past 10 days or more. I believe it is the horrible weather that we are having right now, which is autumn and going into winter. For the duration I was aching all over. I had my flu jab in October so it looks like this …

Easy Rojak Aubergine/Egg-Plant. I have been dabbling with many different types of ingredients here in this country. I must admit I am not as adventurous as I want to be.
