I made a curry this evening. A real curry! With a spice mix with ginger and garlic and everything orange and red in my spice drawer. The original plan was to use the aloo gobi mix that Mom gave me, but the instructions said to let the spices heat up with the oil until they are frothy. But apparently frothy means with a few bubbles, because it went from a few bubbles to burnt rather quickly. But I found a recipe for a curry in my Moosewood cookbook, and I had over half the ingredients, so I gave it a try and it totally worked. Lisa and Robin loved it, and when I make it for myself I will use significantly less cayenne. So home-cooked Indian food night was a success!
They've gone off for party-club fun and I am home with my large folder of articles to read for school projects. However, I am really mostly trying to make Pandora stop telling me super-earnest Christian hymns belong with the Duhks, who also sing religious songs but happen to be awesome, so it's totally different.
