I only flew as an “unaccompanied minor” one time before – it was a rather dull flight although I did get ice-cream which was nice. I also got lost in the airport and almost missed the flight. Apparently I was a bit “too” unaccompanied :p

This recipe sounds and looks great. Peanuts and fish sauce are, for me, an interesting addition to mutton.

You’re experience flying as an ‘unaccompanied minor’ reminds me of the tv show Panam have you watched that before? It’s about an airline in America int he 1950s, where hostess were pretty, young and all single hehe my dad told me when he use to fly he was able to smoke and drink and walk around the whole plane. I don’t even think there were seat belts hahaha i’d love to experience that 😀

Our nearest airport flies only extremely budget airlines. The price is nice, but the service is abysmal. And you pay extra if you want an assigned seat, to check a bag, to put a bag in the overhead, on and on. It’s nice to remember the days when we dressed up to fly, or even to go to the airport to pick someone up.

It’s such a shame flying isn’t special any more.. it’s rather like a cattle-car in my books. Oh, well, I still marvel at how quickly we can be anywhere in the world!! Amazing really.. just like your beautiful lamb dish.. I’m craving this one.. it’s supper hour and I haven’t prepared anything yet.. oh, dear..

Great memories! My dad was a pilot for Pan Am – and often flew to Australia, incidentally – and he has those kinds of memories of flying. I have a few memories like that, but not many. Never did fly unaccompanied!

Flying is definitely not what it used to be but thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Those were the days! I remember my first flight overseas in the late 60’s and how exciting, fun and comfortable it was. The seating area in economy was so big that it was larger than first class is now! And as you said, the attendants provided for every need and comfort, all included in your ticket price. The last time I went overseas I couldn’t get out of my seat because the woman in front of me had her seat reclined back as far as it would go the whole trip… there wasn’t even room for my tray table to be down. 9 1/2 hours of agony. Just looking at your lamb Masaman curry makes me feel better, though.

My first flight was with a sister and we got upgraded to first class on the return trip. I was already in my 20s but the experience is still fresh and exciting no matter that I flown a hundred times since.

Love me some lamb!!
