Tonight I made a Sri Lankan Chicken Curry to go with some of last night’s leftovers. It was pretty good!
We have a bunch of different spices in these neat little containers, and using them is actually kind of fun. And they look pretty too. 🙂
Coconut milk and green curry paste are a simple base for a yummy curry. Tonight’s had tomato, onion, basil, and shrimp. A touch of fish sauce and cream to round it out and served with Jasmine rice – delicious!
Tomorrow, Mariko is flying up to Indianapolis to watch Koa’s marching band perform in the Bands of America Grand Nationals. Since I’ll be home alone for a couple of nights, she made a big pot of beef curry so that I don’t starve. 😀
It’s so delicious! ❤🍛
Today happens to be my birthday, and to celebrate, I took the day off from work. 😄 So with time on my hands, I was wondering what to do… maybe go for a ride on my motorcycle? Maybe go for a long bicycle ride? But after all, I decided to go running. I’ve discovered that I really love it!
I ended up running on Brushy Creek Regional Trail and I felt so good that I completed my half-marathon challenge on Strava. It’s a really good feeling to know that at 53, I can still increase my distances and get stronger. I hope I can stay healthy for a good long time!
I admit that part of my motivation for running so far today was because I knew that I was going to feast on pork katsu curry for dinner. Normally I request oyakodon for my birthday dinner but I’ve been craving curry for a while now!
All in all, I had a very nice birthday. I’m looking forward to my next year!
American wagyu beef, pickled eggs, broccolini, and tomatoes… so good. It’s hard to beat curry-night! 🍛
