At the end of our three-hour stint at the Bollywood Church, they welcomed us to some much needed refreshment in the form of delicious Indian coffee (the beginning of my tempestuous love/hate relationship with the stuff) and vegetable samosas. Thought you might like some recipes to make your own!
Well, that's it! One whole month (albeit a slightly shorter than average one) survived without the assistance of 1) caffeine, and 2) alcohol. Those of you who know me will be well aware that caffeine is by far the larger struggle for me. getting through workdays without the benefit of a coffee-kickstart has been...intense. And not just for me. Please now, spare a thought and a prayer for those in the office who have had to interact with a caffeine-free Christine for 28 days straight. But the struggle was definitely worth it! Exceeding all my expectations, my self-imposed fast raised £605 for India 2013! That's double my original plan, and more than enough to pay off the first instalment of my trip!
Thankyou so much to all you wonderful, generous people! |
