Curry.
And I am not talking about any curry either… green curry.
For those of you uninitiated into the wonderful world of metal-sponge-scrubbed tongues and fireblasted mouths, suffice it to say: HOT!
It seemed like a good idea: I had this curry sachets to try out, so we got some chicken and tried them out. Yeee-ouch has a new definition! And we didn’t even add anything spicy – heck, we even added coconut milk, which should wear down the overall hotness. Well, all in all it was a nice dish, only just a tad on the hot side. Got a couple of ideas on how to mitigate that for a next attempt. (Despite what you may think, I am not a donkey, and hence have no reservations about making mistakes more than once.) It was a memorable way to celebrate Baptiste’s birthday. I’ve only cooked in that kitchen 5 times now (I think), but I am pretty sure I shall never cook as spicy a dish ever there as I did yesterday. Sasa bravely powered through, but even his hunger was not up to the task. Although the faces he pulled were hilarious :D
So what else is new? Well, holiday plans are coalescing. I’ll be visiting my friends in Zurich for a bit longer (raced in for a weekend, didn’t have that much time, so I should revisit them). Sailing will be happening too. In between that there’s Paris. Hmms, doesn’t sound too shabby, now does it ;-)
