R6, P3, Day 14 - On the Hunt for Exotic Spices

How hard is it to find Indian spices in Utah? Dang near impossible. I went to two, Asian shops and one had only one of the spices I needed. I ended up at a specialty grocery store. They had one of the items I needed, but it was $7 for a 2oz bottle. Seriously? After doing some searching, I found an all-in-one Tandoori seasoning for a little over $2.00...not as effective as having everything you need, but definitely better than nothing.

I improvised, using the all-in-one spice, along with the Turmeric, Coriander, pepper, salt, lime and I red chili pepper I already had. The chicken was tasty, but it was missing something. Hubby said it was the mutant legs I bought (probably pumped full of steriods). I was on the hunt for organic, but needed a family pack. I would have spent three times as much for them in comparison to what spent on the mutant legs. So, all in all, it was a good meal to try but I will definitely opt for free range or organic chicken, next time.

The girls enjoyed their fondant class and learned a lot (as did I, since they don't allow parents to leave the premises during the course). They decorated 24 cup cakes. My youngest ate two, along with some of the icing in the bowl, and preceeded to make herself sick. I'll probably take the rest to work on Monday (my eldest doesn't even like icing).

I had a 1lb loss this morning, putting me at 174.2lbs. This is great, but my salt today was super high. I may bring that pound straight back on. I guess we'll see (BTW, yesterday, I had my two liters. Today, I had only one):
