2. I have a semi-obsession with keeping our garage uncluttered so that a few things can be stored in it and there's always room for the Sube. Our cardboard box collection was starting to increase a bit and so I put them in the back of the Sube and headed out to the dump/transfer station to toss them in the cardboard recycling bin. Things were easy at the dump. I was one of three people getting rid of stuff. I was in and out in well under five minutes. It was a satisfying little trip.
3. I got out the Dutch oven, covered the bottom with an onion chopped up. In a bowl, I mixed two cans of coconut milk, two tablespoons of yellow curry paste, and two overflowing tablespoons each of soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. I poured this curry mixture over the onions, brought it to a slight boil, turned the heat way down, and let it slow cook until the onions were about tender.
I also made a pot of basmati rice.
After a while, I dumped frozen green beans into the curry and a little later put in a handful or so of thawed out pre-cooked shrimp. Once the green beans and shrimp were warmed through, Debbie and I were ready to pour the curry over rice and we agreed: it was really good. I was happy that the curry sauce was such a tasty blend of sweet, salty, and spicy -- these tastes were almost in balance. It's that good blend I always try to achieve. One thing was missing: I didn't have cilantro on hand.
April 19th is Garlic Day and Stu wrote a limerick:
Not everyone loves "stinking rose"!
Stinky breath, is just how it goes.
In food it is tasty,
Fights of vampires, skin pasty.
And is healthy as everyone knows!
