The weather is still so chilly for this time of the year. I'm so cold, still waiting on global warning! It's like the mini ice age will be upon us very, very soon and I know who is going to be rubbing their hands with glee! It's the top 6 electricity suppliers! lol I think I'd rather die of the cold like half of all the old people here in England already do! Anyways, BHS is almost closing down an going bankrupt but all the chief executives paid themselves hefty millions.. 8 million to be precise! But never mind there is a saying, ''money can never buy you good health.'' But with all the freezing weather and torrential downpours getting pelted with hailstones makes me think of hearty food! One that really warms me up and makes my heart sing is a good plate of momos. I don't know if you have heard of it, but years ago when I travelled to Darjeeling in India I tasted the best ever! So I learned to make them myself and I want to share my recipe with you. Enjoy!
