Recipe - Raels Curry

1 One half tablespoon Red curry paste, about (sez
it's made in Thailand, but
it just didn't seem that
hot, or at least not what I
wuz expecting...no mushroom
clouds about my head...)
3 tablespoon Fish sauce, about (found
some Colonel...thanks)
1 Coconut milk
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh basil, or more
4 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro, or
more (added at the end of
simmering)
Bamboo shoots
Portabello mushroom (hey, I
had one)
Carrot
Yellow onion
Yellow bell pepper
2 Serranos

First, I made a big mess of curry. Mine was simple, probably not very
traditional, but I've not made curry before, so I sorta freehanded it.
Anywho, it consisted of red curry paste (abt. 1 One half TBSP...sez it's made in
Thailand, but it just didn't seem that hot...or at least not what I wuz
expecting...no mushroom clouds about my head...), abt. 3 TBSP fish sauce
(found some Colonel...thanks), a can of coconut milk, a couple TBSP chopped
fresh basil, about 2x that of chopped fresh cilantro (added at the end of
simmering), bamboo shoots, a portabello mushroom (hey, I had one..),
carrot, yellow onion, yellow bell pepper, 2 serranos, and I think that wuz
about it.

Simmer the coconut milk/curry paste abt. 10 minutes; add the rest, except
the cilantro, and simmer about 15 min., dump in the cilantro, eat.
Somewhere in there you need to make rice. I made plain ole rice.

All in all, simple, filling, hot, but not real hot, and Rael do feel good.
So, I'm combining that with a big ole cup of hot tea (luv it as much as
coffee, but I'm too lazy to wait for it to steep usually), some Bowie (no,
I don't listen to Jimi all the day long...close to it, but I do vary my
selection..), and some Bukowski. Toss in a cigarette or two, and there
ain't but one thing that I could think of to make life better...but I shant
go there. Ha, like I *could*...jeez.
