Aloha Ruth!

-> -> ->  hn> recipe really basically a chicken stirfry and
-> -> ->  hn> add coconut milk (one can) and curry seasonings
-> -> ->  hn> to taste.
-> 
-> -> Simple, I'll give it a try with what's on hand.  I may wait until next
-> -> week so I can pick up some more veggies at the farmer's market tho.
-> 
->  hn> Makes sense...bell peppers, celery, carrot, anything
->  hn> you have on hand works well in dishes like this!
-> 
-> I've got those on hand; I want to maybe get something exotic.
->
Hmmm water chestnuts? Baby corn...mango?
 
-> -> No brainer; I use cornstarch most of the time.  I'll use soy milk tho
-> -> instead of cow's.
-> 
->  hn> The curry flavor will be so dominant it won't
->  hn> be noticed what you use probably. For Anne
->  hn> I just use "curry powder" from the asian store
->  hn> nice and mild and she likes it...for me I'd rather

->  hn> tastes and season my plate to mine.
-> 
-> OK, I've got some pretty spicy yellow curry powder.  Bulk bin in HI but
-> kept well sealed since I got it.
->
I like the spicier curries...Have some great 
red Thai curry paste...I can use that in 
very small amounts for Anne but if I use 
too much she says it's too "hot".
 
-> Baby Quilts
-> 
-> -> Probably. I found a bright backing fabric yesterday.  It has bright
-> -> yellow, red, blue & green-with stars even.
-> 
-> -> hn> Sounds really pretty! you should send hn> me a picture when you
-> finish!
-> 
-> I'll do that.  It'll take a few weeks yet; I've got 2 (of 12) blocks
-> done so far.
->
Inch by inch, row by row!
 
-> -> -> that Sarah really enjoyed it--guess we've got a little gourmet in
-> -> -> training there.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Runs in the family!
-> 
-> -> Seems to; the girls always liked my mac & cheese.  They even 
requested
-> -> that I make it (instead of their grandmother) when we were in NY.
-> 
->  hn> Was yours just "stove top" or do you bake it after
->  hn> cooking it on the stove? I like it both ways ....but
-> 
-> Most of the time it's just stove top.  This time I baked it, and, not
-> wanting to put white bread crumbs on top, I used some crushed sour 
cream
-> & onion potato.  Not enough to drown out other flavors but add just a
-> hint of "something's different".
->
I usually don't use breadcrumbs either...use 
more often  a mix of parmesan and cheddar
with the parmesan (usually kraft from the 
shaker) acting as the bread crumbs..I think
it's better that way!
-> 
->  hn> there's just something "extra good" about having it
->  hn> baked in the oven and the top getting all brown and
->  hn> tasty!!
-> 
-> The top is the best part. (G)
->
You got that right! (grin)
-> 
-> ->  hn> Still waiting and seeing...not seeing much
-> 
-> -> Hurry up and wait.  Just like the military.  Wait until universal health
-> -> insurance comes in.....................zip my lip on that one.
-> 
->  hn> My Minister grandfather used to say
->  hn> don't expect anything to ever get better
->  hn> except salvation (grin)
-> 
-> Wise man there.
-> 
Yep, I still miss him.
chat with you soon!
