11-29 Coconut "Curry"

This "curry" doesn't even have curry powder in it. Turns out curry is a term from the Indian word 'kari' meaning sauce. So you may like some "curries" more than you'd think. This one, I am confident, you will!
This is a basic recipe, if you like it, add more or different vegetables next time.

Prepare a 1 lb of Chinese egg or stir fry noodles or any other long Asian noodle
(Soba noodles work well and taste even better if cooked in chicken broth)
Prepare 2-3 hard boiled eggs - use half an egg for each serving.

Mix together:
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 T fresh (or 2 t dry) ginger, minced
1 t turmeric
Toss with
1 lb chicken breasts, cut in 1 inch cubes (you can use cooked chicken, no need to sauté)
Sauté in skillet the uncooked chicken until no longer pink, remove and set aside.

Sauté in same pan:
sesame oil
1 small onion, chopped
Stir in
1 t paprika
Now add the chicken and
20 oz of unsweetened coconut milk
2 1/2 c chicken broth
Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Add:
1/2 - 1 c fresh peas, thawed if frozen
Thicken soup by removing a ladle full and mix with
1/4 c flour
Return resulting paste to soup and mix through.

Serve soup over individual bowls of cooked noodles with 1/2 of a sliced hard boiled egg and sprinkle with cilantro, sliced green onions and a squirt of lime juice.

    yum!
    nick loves this version of curry...the boiled egg and fresh cilantro and noodles give it some good variety from the curries we usually do.

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Spiced pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Now that it is officially Fall, it's time for pumpkin cookies again :)   Dad's pumpkin cookies are delicious. Best way to describe the difference between them is that these are more spice than pumpkin. I like them both but sometimes prefer this spice version. I don't like using prepared pumpkin pie spice, it seems to change the flavor for me (I wonder if it's the amount of cloves?). This recipe hits the spice just right but of course alter as you like, it can take even handle more or less chocolate chips in it, or none at all.  In medium mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients together:  2 c flour 2 t baking powder 3/4 t baking soda 1 1/2 - 2 t cinnamon 1/2 t ginger 1/2 t nutmeg 1/8 t cloves 1/2 t salt In small mixing bowl beat together : 1/2 c sugar 1/2 c brown sugar, packed 1/2 canola oil 1 egg 1 t vanilla paste Then add:  240g pumpkin purée, ( about a small can if not using fresh) When blended well, add the pumpkin mix into the the dry mixture. Barely blend the two ...
