- Mother-Person: Why not aim for all the fun you can get - me in the basement is not so much fun
- Me: heh... I guess that all depends on how often I let you out! :P

- can't say I didn't try to find a solution '-)
- Mother-Person: sorry, I can be scared if you want.
Thai Veggie Curry
I kinda adapted this recipe. Personally, 3 tbsp seemed to me WAY too much fish sauce. It’s like sesame oil, it has staying power on the palate. Also called for kefir lime leaves, which, I seriously want to hunt down and see how they alter the recipe. However, I simply subsituted the juice of a key lime. Question: Asparagus? Not traditional probably? Tasty, yes. Authentic? Probably not. Peas? Sure. Pods, yeah okay. But I’m a rebel like that ‘-)
1/4 diced yellow onion
2 tsp minced ginger (I cheat and buy the pre-minced stuff from The Ginger People)
3 large cloves garlic (if it’s the purple stuff, don’t go to town- one’s enough)
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. fresh nutmeg
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 tsp. dried turmeric
2 Tbsp. yellow curry powder (I go for Outpost’s cuz it doesn’t make ppl’s lips peel back)
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 can coconut milk
juice of 1 fresh squeezed lime
1 finely diced roma tomato
1 cup cooked basmati rice
In a saucepan combine onion, ginger, garlic and sautee with olive oil until onion is clear. Add spices, sugar, and fish sauce. Sautee for a few more minutes. Add coconut milk, brown sugar and lime juice. Last, add diced tomato and a pinch of garam malsala if you happen to have it around.
Steam a few handfuls of pea pods, frozen peas, and asparagus tips.
Scoop rice into bowl, cover with veggies, then smother in curry sauce. It’s delicious. Go to town.
Okay! I'll Start Sharing my Recipes Already, jeez.
Just to warn you guys, I am *not* exacting about measuring when I cook. So figure it out your own damned self. I screw up sometimes too, live with it and learn from it. No complaining in comments.
