2. Seafood tonight

A dozen raw oysters with cocktail sauce, lemon, horseradish and hot sauce. Crackers on the side.

Small filets of sushi-grade tuna right off the fishing trawler. They’ll be seasoned, covered is black pepper and sesame seeds then seared black and blue. Served with soy sauce and wasabi. White rice and a mixed green salad on the side.

Fresh custard from a stand across the street from the marina we’re staying at in Jacksonville.

I love fresh seafood!

There’s still a bottle of Chablis left. Time for a trip to the ABC store!

ETA: what show are you seeing, NJCher?

HAD hoped for a good shrimp cocktail last week, but friend brought a few measly ones so saving the cocktail sauce for next week maybe.

The beef is leftover grilled T-bone steak from last night and the dumplings are frozen. Easy dinner.

Very tasty. And I'm freezing four portions for future meals.

This is one of the few things that I make that I actually follow the recipe exactly.

Once again my small home smells wonderful.

but it's been a while. A friend discovered frozen curried chicken (Thai?) provided @ my grocery store, so he's been buying it recently, being from India/Pakistan, and longing for his homeland's food.

14. Here's my recipe.

It's incredibly easy to make. Perhaps 15 or so minutes of prep. I didn't bother to time it. But doing the two pans with different ingredients was simple. Honestly, my small home still reeks wonderfully of this.

Because I knew I'd be freezing most of this, I omitted the potatoes.

Curried Chicken

Ingredients:
½ boneless chicken breast cubed
1 medium onion sliced
1 medium carrot sliced
1 cup peas
1 potato cubed
3-5 cloves garlic
2 T butter
3-4 T curry powder
1 can coconut milk
Ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, red pepper flakes and salt
Olive oil

Melt the butter, stir in the curry powder. Then add the coconut milk.
In a separate pan saute the garlic and onions in the olive oil. Then add carrots, and then the chicken and cook until the chicken is very lightly cooked. Throw this mix into the curry/
coconut milk mix, add potato, bring to a simmer, then lower the heat, cover and let simmer for about 30 minutes or so. Last five minutes add the peas. Adjust seasonings.

Serve over rice.

Makes 5-6 servings
