yumma. waitin on door dash.
i should find a guy who can cook a biryani and marry him.
mann reading that back, it sounds kinda chauvinist..
i keep forgetting i can maryy a woman nowadays.
if i met a woman who likes to cook biryani, and could put up with me,
i should at least be open to the possibility.
My mother-in-law who lives with us cooks yummy fresh Indian food every night... much of which finds its way to my plate... so you don't necessarily need to marry someone who cooks good briyani, but someone who has at least one parent who does.
Curry Curry Curry!
..Chicken Bryani....mmmmmmm.
Would consider doing that for dinner however here, delivery for anything but pizza is done by a third party service so the delivery charge is usually a fairly steep mark-up. Not as bad as for Nvidia GPU cards but still significantly more than ordering online and just going over to pick it up.
...bugger, all this talk of curry,
OK so tomorrow I'll have to pick up some chicken thighs green onions and other veggies to make another batch of my Thai yellow curry.
....To Favour Curry
I'm starting to feel better, and the avocado and tomatoes I got last week were still good, so I made fancy grilled cheese with hard-boiled eggs for lunch. But maybe I will get curried fried rice tomorrow.
Ah, P.D.Q Bach.
Heard of it, but I'd never actually heard any.
It's everything I'd imagined. :-s
In general, bananas are pretty cheap... around here they average 59¢ a pound... no fruit is that cheap... maybe beat up farm apples in September, but otherwise that's pretty cheap... plus where else are you going to get a naturally occurring source of the radioactive isotope Potassium-40 that also has an attractive yellow casing which you can use to make your enemies slip on.
Bananas are not seriously radioactive, but they actually have an informal unit of ionizing radiation named after them... BED or Banana Equivalent Dose.
The exposure to one banana is 10−7 sievert (0.1 μSv) or about 1% of the recommended US daily allowance for ionizing radiation, which in total is equivalent to around 100 BED (or .5 PPSBD)...(Peter Parker Spider Bite Dosage)... but before you think about going and eating 200 bananas, so you can obtain amazing banana powers, you should consider that bananas' only superpower is bruising easily and making for good physical comedy falls.
Besides... being a herb based superhero is a tough life... not to mention that in a addition to being a herb (distantly related to Ginger)...(the spice, not the actress character from Gilligan's Island), almost all bananas are clones... and being a clone just leads to all sorts of Orphan Black problems involving your weird clone sisters and a not too unbelievable cult (at least after 2020), trying to kill you.
So enjoy your ridiculously cheap bananas and try not to slip on their discarded skins.
Beat ya' to it... I made chicken tikka tonight...
Not browned enough and needs salt, but it came out okay...
Also my kids seem to have deferred to their German DNA not the 1/4 Italian or the Indian half, so it's not at all spicy or they won't eat it... (well one might).
Looks really good! I almost went and got curry rice just now but it's late and I don't relish driving 30 minutes each way in traffic to get it.
...fuzzy fruit.
...fair enough. Guess I'm just going to have to be satisfied with a Madras curry and minced green onion lamburger with roasted potatoes for tonight.
...but mind you, in a couple days that big pot of chicken with all sorts of good veggies, slowly simmered for a couple hours in a lovely coconut milk base Thai yellow curry sauce will be in the works.
That sounds a lot better than what I made... I don't know if you have Hmart where you are, but if you like Massaman curry, I found a pretty tasty brand of that kind of curry which tastes pretty close to what most Thai places make...
(runs off to kitchen to find a can, crashes into cabinet on other side of room because I forgot I was wearing socks and slid across the room, cursed a lot, looked through cabinet I slid past, remembered the can was red not blue, then found it and memorized name, ran back and realized memorizing involves having a memory, ran back, saw a bowl of cut mangos, stole mangoes and ran off to eat them, then covertly snuck back into kitchen to put bowl into sink and had a flashback that reminded me there might have been some reason I was in the kitchen earlier, shrugged and went back to living room and noticed iPad, read my post and sorta remembered why I went in kitchen... ran off again, this time sockless, encountered wife asking about missing mangos and quickly changed subject, cleverly pointed in back of wife and shouted "look out a bear!!" and ran off with can while remained looking at me with look of deep skepticism, sat back down in front of iPad and realized I was hold a can of corn... this went on for a while... in the process I scored a bowl of strawberry ice cream and another bowl of mangos and what I thought what a chunk of beef jerky, but was more likely a bark chip that fell off of something my daughter left on the counter... eventually came back with correct can and...)
20 minutes later... it is Maesri brand red curry paste.
That was anticlimactic... I actually think that brand is fairly easy to find... you probably know about it already.
I feel like I ate two bowls of mangos, a bowl of ice cream and a bark chip for nothing.
Oh well.
biryani spice is hot stuff
is the John Carpenter movie worth watching for 3.99?
If you're talking about a movie made by John Carpenter, most likely yes. If you mean a movie ABOUT John Carpenter, I have no idea.
...interesting foray there.
No we don't have Hmart here. However we do have a number of mom & pop Asian groceries (most moved out to the east side after rents in the inner neighbourhoods skyrocketed because of rampant gentrification). However I found an outlet close to where I am which is a restaurant supply store that is also open to the public. That is where I get my coconut milk (about half the price or less than at the mainstream supers) and curry paste (Mae Ploy Brand) which comes in a large container lasts me a few months, and costs under 5$ (in contrast the mainstream market carry much smaller containers (some only enough for one of my curry pots) that can cost upwards of 5 - 6$. I usually alternate between red and yellow curry.
I also get my rice stick noodles for my teriyaki and Pho there (about 1.10$ a package instead of 3.50$ at the big name super).
Now Massaman is one of my favourites as it also uses potatoes (sort of like a curry stew). Maybe I'll do that this time around. I usually use red or yellow potatoes cut into small wedges. Yukon Golds are too soft and tend to totally cook down into the sauce.
For the burgers I use Madras curry powder, minced green onion, a little black pepper, and clarified butter (so it blends into the meat evenly) Mix it all up in a big bowl by hand and then roll out three "meatballs" which I then squish into patties. 1# usually makes 3 healthy sized burgers so I put the them in containers and into the fridge for a a few hours to let stuff soak in a bit more than pop two into the freezer for later. I also use kaiser rolls form the bakery instead of standard over processed hamburger buns.
Composing thiswhile cooking dinner so trains of thought may go off the track.
I often think that maybe God had it easier. You know, by creating real sky and real clouds, with real sun and real sunshine rays. As it turns out, simulating things is really really hard!
Superfluous pen? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401729/ had some pretty dire reviews, as I recall.
The movie about John Carpenter? There was a documentary years ago (but it may have been about director too)... Or any of the various movies he made?... They are mostly pretty okay for the genre... the guys who made Stranger Things were deeply inspired by his movies... lots of other directors too... he even composed a lot of his own musical scores too.
EDIT-
Oh, never mind... I think you meant John Carter (Richard is probably right)...
If you never read the books, and pretend it's some other planet that's not Mars and suspend a bit of belief, it's okay... I personally have seen it on TV for free a couple of times, so to me it's not worth $4
when you cant beat em, join em.
i'm a fan of don't dish it out if you cant take it
yeah, thats the one. Disneyfied. lol
If you did mean John Carter, it is aggressively mediocre. That movie and the Jason Momoa Conan movie did the same annoying thing where they went out of their way to show how competent and capable the female lead is, then just turn her into a damsel who needs to be saved in the end. Come on guys, pick one. Other than that, Conan was surprisingly good. It's not a great movie (and certainly not as good as the Schwarzenegger Conan the Barbarian), but it far exceeded my very low expectations.
I use earplugs when the constant (loud) chattering of my co-worker starts getting to my nerves, as mom taught me not to be rude to ladies
i wonder how many times this guy has gone down the slide
?
non complaint - sippsing a mango lassi. so deelish there has to be more sugar than is good for me.
i'd better walk extra laps and burn some of this sugar off. mebbe xtra 8cc of humalog.
i think the insulin in my fridge is prolly worth a couple of 8 core puters. better not to think that way. must'nt. bad bad girl.
gorgeous quality of light outside, would be a good shot for a hdr camera.
