And zees is vere vee babble~
Am a little sick. Mildly sniffly, mostly crud in my throat/mild soreness. Fortunately I don't have to talk much with my current job role, so I am at work. Kinda muzzy/tired, tho. Have been hitting the hot tea like it's laced with crack. Decided that the bergamot in Earl Grey does turn me off a bit. Rather fond of this Tazo 'Zen' I picked up at the store, though. Green + lemongrass & spearmint. Mmm. Best with a dollop of honey, but a packet of splenda is nice, too. Am trying to wangle Friday off, because a little extra downtime would be helpful in throwing this off. We shall see.
Tried the pumpkin & chicken curry recipe I posted the other day. It was delish. Used white meat chicken instead of thighs, and olive oil instead of coconut. Also tossed in a can of diced tomatoes for extra liquid. OMGSOGOOD. Not too spicy, just right. (Don't forget the fresh basil!)
I did realize however that it was definitely more of a Thai curry. Yuuta's favorite is probably a Japanese curry. Something else I realized is that a Japanese curry would probably use Asian pumpkin instead of the usual kind we have here. (Although honestly either way would probably be equally delicious as they are both ultimately squash.) So! I have found another recipe, and I think this one sounds like it could be really close to Yumiko's recipe. (The fuji apples just seal the deal!) It has pork instead of chicken.
Pork and Pumpkin Curry
It is now on my 'to try' list. Apparently I am on a curry kick. Oh well. Curry is warm and stew-like and appropriate for cold weather. XD
