justifying my bad eating habits...

Turmeric, a major ingredient in curry (which I eat a LOT of - :)) may actually kill blood cancer. Of course, since no particular drug company can profit off of that, because turmeric is widely available, the researchers have not found any company which will fund long-term studies. Still, they haven't been able to show that it is toxic at any level, and there's also the added side effect that curry makes you feel happier (a study done in Britain a couple of years ago showed that the spices in curry encourage your body to produce endorphins), well, it's a no-lose.

So eat more curry, everybody! ;)

When used to season fish, tumeric is yummy - take your normal fish fillet, clean it, pat it dry, and salt it. Then dip it in tumeric, and fry lightly. Dump onions and cubed tomato in if you want a bit of a sauce to go with it.

It does stain things yellow if you're not careful, though, so don't get it on your clothes.

*chuckles* yeah, last weekend my 'sister-in-law' (boyfriend's brother's fiance) accompanied me doing laundry, and I was pointing out all the bilous yellow stains on our formerly white clothes.:)

Your fish sounds delicious!
