I just pigged out on some rather good Curried Chicken. The more/less southern India type.... sweeter type with Coconut Milk and Yoghurt. But with more then a light touch of Madras Hot Curry in it. And lots of Garam Masala. All slow simmered and then slopped over some decent Basmati rice. And there wasn't anyone around that could say "And I helped".. I make this type or a similar Curry about once a month. From scratch...except I didn't make the Madras or Garam powders...or the coconut milk...or yoghurt.... but I mixed and sautéed heck outa them. It will put a good feeling in a full belly. And...yes... I cook for myself like this 2-3 times a week. I spoil myself with good foods. I forgot to start the bread dough earlier in afternoon...so the Naan bread was conspicuous by it's absence..

you lucky dog ! you have a kitchen and know how to cook too! I stopped at a Shell gas station today way out on the north end of town that had this little deli in it they boasted about having the best sandwiches
I tell ya what they weren't lying
had an Italian sub with fine meats & cheese's banana peppers, kalmata olives, all the other fixing and a great vinaigrette dressing on type of roll I wasn't to familiar with toasted in open flame oven it was a tasty treat I'll go back 40 mile from where I reside

Having me by to share some of that chicken would be a sure way to curry favor

Oh yeah...I have a kitchen. Usually keep a mostly stocked up pantry too. I even cook up a mess of Paella once er twice a year. I have cooked recipes (successfully I might add) from all around the world.... except blubber..can't imagine how to use that stuff. I'll pass.. and just stick with using pancetta. I also have a lot of dishes to wash every few days....and counters to clean and disinfect...and bamboo floors to sweep and mop. And that's just the kitchen and dining room. I also have 4 loads of laundry to do a week....and I do NOT know how one man can make that much dirty laundry...doesn't seem possible. I also get the extreme privilege of mowing and trimming up this 2+ acres of yard in the warmer weather. The wooded 3 acres can take care of itself. I am forced to do all the grocery shopping...although reluctantly at todays prices. Ditto for clothes, shoes, socks, and shorts....for razor blades to roller skates. Pay bills.. ohhh heck...I almost forgot I'm single now. And can't afford maid service..... Might explain why I get to accomplish all this by myself. All this also cuts deeply into my stone finding, sawing and polishing and fishin time...unfortunately. But giving up on eating good foods doesn't seem to be a viable option at the present time.. So I persevere.. mostly.
