D went to Dallas today to visit her mother. I stayed here and
piddled. Or was that diddling I did?
I thawed some non-injected chicken thighs (nice to get them here in
Cow Hill's alleged supermarket). I rubbed them with a blend of
Penzey's Balti seasoning, lemon juice, powdered galangal, Thai red
curry paste, fish sauce, ground ginger, and black pepper. Let them
sit while the oven heated to 400 F.
I sweated some chopped onions and mushrooms in olive oil with salt,
pepper and cumin seeds. When the onions were a little past
translucent, I added galangal, garam masala, lemon juice and yogurt.
This proved a little too thick, so I thinned it with water. No
chicken stock in the house, you see.
I set the thighs on a foil-lined baking sheet and got them a-cooking
I had some mixed greens and sliced tomato salad left from last night's
dinner on hand, so I laid it on the plates to make a bed for the
chicken and some roasted broccoli and cauliflower (forgot to mention
that earlier). Over it all, I spooned out the curried mushroom sauce.
Nobody in Cow Hill ate better tonight.

Whichever, Hon; whichever. I'm surprised you're announcing it publicly,
though. "-)

I believe it!
I had oven-fried chicken, fried potato cubes, and coleslaw with a
dressing made from a chunk of onion, about a tbsp sugar, maybe 1/4 cup
oil, and an indeterminate amount of balsamic vinegar -- and about 3/4
tsp celery seed. I mixed it all in the chopper container that came with
my Braun stick blender. I used the stick blender to mix it. Damn, that
was good slaw. The slaw itself was just cabbage and a little bit of
onion. Sliced (both), not chopped. My green pepper was rotten or I'd
have added that. And I didn't think about a little carrot for color
until too late. The chicken was good, too, even though it was not as
exotically seasoned as yours was. And the spuds.
