I started cooking at 11am, about... didn't get it on the heat until 1pm, because A) I'm slow and B) It's a new recipe to me and I was making adjustments and substitutions. But I noticed that it's a chicken dish, you put the chicken in the sauce and then cook the chicken in the sauce, according to the text "for 7 to 10 minutes," stir in cilantro (one of the things I'm not doing), add the cream, bring to boil, and then your done. Er, didn't you leave something out? Like, this is a curry, and it's raw chicken... shouldn't there be three hours of simmering in there? Well, there's gonna be for mine. No damn raw chicken on my plate.
I love summer - we've been out in the garden while we've been waiting for this curry to cook, and we now have three bouquets on our counters: garlic scapes (which have been there for a bout a two weeks, I think, and just get curlier and a little paler, but still fresh and nice), wildflowers (which got pulled up by accident while we were pulling weeds) and two bok choys (which I pulled up by the roots and just crammed into a pint glass figuring I'd clean them properly, later, so I could have time to change out of my dirty clothes).
About time to go make some rice, though I think I'll wash my face and neck again, and brush my hair, I'm still dropping dirt. I may have mentioned before that I seem to always make gardening a full contact sport. ;)
Today (or day before yesterday? I can't remember when it started) we pretty much redesigned what we want to do with the garden, it's going to be quite different by next spring. Though I guess it's always different every spring, that's what's so fun about it. :) I should really write an email to the couple upstairs, because she just moved in and might want to do things with the garden, too. And if we put the condo on the market next spring she'll be the only one who cares what happens with that space, most likely, so if I want to put in a bunch more fiddlehead ferns, well, it would be cool if I could get her to buy them, since she'll likely be the one to harvest them.
