chicken curry

[plantgirl]

I made curry last night, a chicken curry. I was modifying my friend Mary Anne's recipe from her book, A Taste of Serendib. It came out well, but not as spicy as it is supposed to be. I used a curry powder I haven't used before, and a chili powder I also have never used previously. Between those two, it lacks heat. Lots of lovely flavor, though

Roasted potatoes (and root veggies in general) with cumin seeds are of the yum. Get veg to appropriate roasting size, coat in olive oil, sprinkle on seeds, salt, and pepper. Roast for an hour-ish. Nummy.

There's also a recipe I like very much for paper-thin crispy flatbread with cumin seed, but it's at home. Let me know if you're interested.

Oh, that sounds excellent! Thank you.

Waaaiiiit. You know Mary Anne?? I don't KNOW know her, but I know her from the rec.arts.erotica days. She's a great, great writer.

Yes, her work is wonderful, isn't it? She's a friend of mine mostly through other, closer, friends. Most notably, she & my friend Jed have been sweeties for many years now.

You may know this already, but if you want to stay up with her current writing she has a yahoo group she uses to proof new pieces (though it's less active now that Bodies in Motion has been published).

Mmmmm. That sounds wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have chicken defrosted. Maybe Friday...
