RE: Thai Pumpkin-Ginger Yellow Curry, with Okra & Mushrooms
That looks absolutely fantastic. I was thinking of a yellow curry too, but I'll bow down to your expertise my lovely. Look at you go with that broken arm. Love a woman that can improv - the key to a good cook I think. It's all about the intuition. My son used to think I was funny for directing him to use a 'sploodge' of sauce or about 'ten minutes of thyme from the garden' but now he uses those same instructions with his girlfriend. Make do, adapt, go by feel and create a delicious meal!
It is the ONLY way to cook. The one-armed thing is needs-must. I often tell Ploi our little twosome is like a bicycle - one of us doesn't pull her weight and the whole damn thing collapses. Let's just politely say I have relaxed my standards while the arm is cast and we're both learning. Ploi is getting a crash course in cooking!! :) :) :) no longer an occasional Saturday recreational option. We ate out last night. :)
Ah, about time she learnt to cook anyway....lol. Jarrah had to cook vegie pasta once a week from 12 years old. Needless to say, he ended up the don of tomato sauce.
She cooks quite well - but only 3 or 4 easy things and only when she feels like it. The school days are VERY long here - out the door at 7.15 and NEVER home before 6pm - 3 nights a week she has gym and Korean class and we're not home till nearly 8pm. The chilled aussie kids would die here!!! LOL But yay you for teaching Jarrah. A man who can and does voluntarily cook is sexy as hell from day #1 - and much will be forgiven him because of it. :)
