Aysha Bora says of her Kuku Paka (coconut chicken curry) that when she was growing up she hated cooking. Her family is from India and preparing big meals for the extended family was part of their culture, but she used to beg for any job other than cooking. Then she got married and moved to Africa and suddenly everything changed – she began calling her mother and asking her for recipes. Her mother told her: ‘Cooking for someone you love is what makes you a good cook.’ This curry is a particular favourite of her family in Tanzania.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Coconut Chicken Curry ♥
When Dave and I went on honeymoon I bought one large suitcase for the two of us. Luggage weight calculation was not done per traveller, but rather as a combined weight. This meant Dave got to wheel the large suitcase around, and all I had to do was worry about the carry on luggage. I used that suitcase when I went to Australia and it still has its weight tag on it, showing that the case was heavy! For the life of me I cannot tell you what I brought back from that holiday. Five years after our honeymoon the regulations around luggage and weight had changed and I bought two new cases. The one is a size down from our large case, and the other is a size down from that. I use the large suitcase as a ‘cupboard’ with clothes in that we don’t wear.

This coming November the children are joining us on holiday. They don’t have any suitcases, and we are trying to save them money wherever possible. Using the references on the KLM website the size of an allowed suitcase must be a total of 158cm. This is calculated by adding the length, width and height of the case. Our super-duper large one is 152cm so that is perfect for them. Hopefully it will take all of the baby’s clothes in it, as well as what ever James or Carli wishes to wear. With taking weight restrictions into account they are going to have to take a suitcase each. Plus one carry on bag, a nappy bag, and a stroller. Their logistics are made more complicated by having to wheel suitcases and a pram. Do you have suitcases with wheels, and how big is your favourite one?
