Picnic in a Jungle with Curried Salad

May 15, 2006 12:06

So yesterday Vin kept telling me it was going to rain, but I kept telling him that we were going to have a picnic. “It’s meant to be, I know it!” I kept shouting. All week it was supposed to rain, and it was sunny. All week. Yesterday it rained. Vin said "Too bad" but I knew he was secretly glad. But I wouldn’t let rain stop me. I called some friends and arranged a picnic in my friend’s apartment. (There’s jungle stuff everywhere so it felt like we were outside.
I brought the best food, a zingy Curry Chicken/Tofu Salad -- one version with tofu and the other with chicken. It was so tasty! You know how salads get all glugged down with mayo and oil? This is light, using nonfat yogurt. Wow. I'm gonna make some to eat for lunches with the remining spice mix. I tried wrapping it in big leaves of lettuce like baby leafy burritos, but the twerps kept busting, so I finally said to hell with  it. Anyway, everything was wonderful with pale ale beer and good tunes. I love picnics.
