So... Whats for lunch?

[Lise]

Wow. That simple??!? How come my mom's curry involve a lotta work? Argh. She says it's simple but it's beyond simple.

  Hmmm. I think I'll make curry sometime this week. Yummy.

[Sportsdude]

lol my grandma is the same way about her hungarian food. She says its simple but cooking for 5 hrs to me does not look simple. lol

Thinking of her food on the other hand... makes me want to jump on a plane...

[Lise]

Never had Hungarian cuisine before. Wonder if there's a restaurant here that serve that? Come to think of it, I don't think there's a huge Hungarian population here in Vancouver.

Its pretty good. Lots of paprika turns the meat red for example. Chicken fall right off the bone.

So if your not a paprika fan you probably wouldn't like the food because it uses a LOT of paprika.

Chicken, Pork, meatballs thats what my grandma cooks.

Your mom's curry was absolutely divine.

  Oh, I also added some lemon juice, about two teaspoons to my curry.  I know that I have left out a ton of other spices because real curry has about 12 different spices and a bunch of other stuff.  I like mine simple and mild.  

  Hey Lise...CROCKPOT CURRY!    YAH YAH!      

[Sportsdude]

I went to an Indi-Paki store by my house looking for curry things and I got strange looks. lol

Everyone stopped and stared, ugh. In my head I was like 'what? you'd never seen a gaint white guy before in the store?' And to be honest now that I think about it, I don't think they never had before, which is sad really.

[Lise]

Crockpot curry?? No way. Really? It works?

  I'm not touching my crockpot for awhile. Made too much congee, deep freezed the sucker and hardly put a dent in it. Got more congee for the next few days. *sigh*  

[Sportsdude]

oh cool crock pot curry... *runs to find the crock pot cook book* LOL brilliant idea purelife, now I'm going to cook for the family! brilliant!

[purelife]

Crockpot curry would be great.  Add those ingredients that I mentioned and just leave it on low for a few hours.  Wow, that would taste really really great...to have all the potatoes mushed into the curry sauce.  The coconut milk, I find, adds that extra sweetness to the curry.  I've never made curry in a crockpot but I'm sure it'll taste even better.  

  Oh, that sucks SD.   Oh well, you'll be the talk for the rest of their lives.. tee hee..  It's kinda cool, to be unique.  

[Sportsdude]

Yeah they'll be like how was work today?

Guy who runs the store: Well there was this tall white guy who walked in looking for indian food.

wife: oh my

man: yeah oh my indeed.

  lol

[Lise]

Thanks for the compliment on my mom's curry. I still have a packet leftover. All I gotta do is puree a couple of onions (tears, oh tears galore) and then the curry powder. Toss in chicken and hope to the Gods of Cooking it'll turn up edible.

  Does anyone have any teriffic dessert dish they like to share? I'm looking to make a dessert dish that's simple and quick.  

[Lise]

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what they're thinking, SD. I know I wouldn't but that's just me.

[purelife]

I have an excellent Tiramisu receipe.  If you're interested, I'll get it for you over the weekends, or post it tonight.  

[purelife]

After you make the tiramisu, you do need to leave it in the fridge overnight.  

  I don't remember all the ingredients but some included lady fingers, kawula (or rum) and dark coffee and cocoa powder.  

  I also made cheesecake once.  That turned out very good.  It was simple.  I'll find that website if you're interested.

[Lise]

Sure, purelife. Post the recipe here for all to share. Thanks!
