I made Thai yellow curry chicken last night. It was HOT but it was GOOOOOD! I'm so pleased! I can now enjoy my favourite tasty Thai dish at a mere fraction of the cost of eating out and I don't have to walk in the rain to go get it! Plus, it's really, really, really, amazingly EASY to make.

1 can Coconut milk (13.5 Oz)
Thai yellow curry paste (about a Tbsp for mild).
1 whole boneless chicken boob
2-3 small red potatoes

Cut up chicken and potatoes into bite sized pieces.
Mix 1Tbsp water with 1 Tbsp curry paste to soften and then add to coconut milk in med sized saucepan.
Add chicken and potatoes.
Cool at a rolling boil until potatoes and chicken are cooked (about 20 minutes)
Meanwhile, make rice.

YUM! Tastes like you've been cooking for absolutely hours in the kitchen. I'm not going to look at how many calories are in the coconut milk... cuz it can't be good with how yummy that is.

I bought the Thai yellow curry paste at my local supermarket... but you can probably find it in a specialty oriental food store near you, or you can order it online.
So forget going to simply Thai.. I'll make curry here if you come over. =D

The other day I discovered a few things about wind. When you ride your bike to work a good, stiff tailwind is your very best and most wonderful friend. A good, stiff SIDEwind, however, is demon-spawn. I even prefer a moderately evil headwind to a sidewind. Sidewinds are scary. They try to push you into traffic or off of bridges as you ride over them. Not fun. They sneak up on you when you ride accross an intersection and nearly knock you over. They make you unable to steer enough to avoid the broken glass bits that you're sure are going to give you a flat tire, but thankfully don't.

My advice? Avoid sidwinds if you can. Seriously.

Hurt my back yesterday... but it appears to have been nothing more than a nastily pinched nerve. My sweetie took good care of me and bound me up in a back brace that makes it hard to breathe, but supports my back like nothing else can. I'll probably remove it sometime tomorrow, just to be on the safe side, but there has been no recurrence of the twinges of pain that plagued me after I got home from work yesterday. At least I had Thai yellow curry with chicken and potatoes to make me feel better. =) Yum.

Now to find out when we can descend upon Doug and Ali tomorrow! Gimme some Alian love! RAOWR! George is more into Doug, however. Look out, Doug! He's a comin' to gitcha!

My co-worker just got back from a work-trip to Arkansas. He gave me a pin. It says " WOO PIG... SOO-EEE" on it. Apparently it's the State Cheer for the Arkansas Razorbacks. I like it. It makes people look at me funny. Whee!

Almost time for Friends/Survivor... and keeping one eye glued to the hockey game, as well. Go Canucks! Stop the Avalanche!
