I could eat only curry for the rest of my life and die happy.

Good curry has to go with rice IMO. And that's exactly how this will be served. But there's such a wide variety of curries out there that when you say you could live on curry for life, you actually aren't limiting yourself that much. :p

I love a good curry with lots of flavor. My company is about 70% Indian (CEO/founder is Indian) and we get Indian food served every Friday. Stuff is god awful. They don't care about the actual taste it seems. Just make it as spicy hot as possible.

Also made the pumpkin pie last night and it looks and smells delicious.

Well that sucks :( People we invited over will not be coming cause they learned my father has a touch of a cold. He just came down with it yesterday. Went through a SHIT load of work for this one too, a lot more than I posted here.

You had me at pumpkin pie. I love this time of year.

Now if I could only find a decent pumpkin ale without having to journey down to Sac.

Try to find somewhere you can get Southern Tier's Pumking or Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin .. although, they're both east coast breweries so I'm not sure how well you'll be able to find them. Two best pumpkin beers I've had, by far, and I've tried quite a few.

Probably pinching pennies. Try to improve employee moral with a token gesture.

Yeah I shouldn't be pissed I guess. No one wants to go over to someone's place if they are sick. But fuck it I am anyway. Also although these guys are good friends of the family and me (WTF am I saying they are family Aunt and Uncle) they are also sometimes selfish pricks at times. Again as above maybe this isn't an example of that, I don't know.

Sorry to hear that. The good part is that there's more pumpkin pie for you. I could eat an entire one myself - I never have, but if I ever stop being diabetic that's the first thing I'm gonna do.

Anyone else you can invite last minute?

Here's a rough recipe for the curry cause someone asked for it

First of off this is a veggie curry so if you want to turn it into a meat curry the directions will be similar but you will want to add the meat at a specific point.

Will ask my mother what the exact recipe is but we tend not to work from recipes for the asian food we make. Off the top of my head it's close to this:

VERY finely chop the following:

1 stock of lemon grass
5 or 6 cloves of garlic
Large nodule of Ginger
2 or 3 shallots.

Now fry this mash in a pan with lots of oil till it starts to brown nicely.

Grab about 1/4 cup of water and make a slurry with the following, curry powder, turmeric powder, saffron powder, other spices to taste.

Add this mixed slurry to the stuff browning in the pan. You want to fry this all together till it begins to almost burn "but don't actually let it burn of course" it should be a rich dark paste by this point. If you can't help but cough when you smell it you know you are going in the right direction . Now add several cups of water and bring this all to a simmer.

In a seperate pan prepare all the veggies you want to put in this. It doesn't really matter what veggies you use. For this one we had a mix of carrots, cabbage, egg plant, broccoli. Stir fry these with some garlic and ginger till they are still not quite done but getting close.

Now add the stir fried veggies to the simmering curry soup and cook the whole mixture down till it's thicker.

Serve over a bed of rice.

All was a success :thumbsup:

Cookies, Pie and Curry were enjoyed by all. Though the curry we remade of course.

Still have 1/2 of that pumpkin in the fridge downstairs. Maybe I should turn it into something if it hasn't gone mouldy. Coming up on 2 weeks now though so I don't know. :hmm:
