Coconut curryCategory: food
(e:terry) has been teaching me how to cook. I know how to follow a recipe and end up with something resembling food. But I don't have a good workflow, taste for what needs spice, when foods are done cooking, or anything a recipe doesn't tell you. I've already learned a ton - soon I'm going to go all domestic and have June Cleaver dinners ready when P&T get home after me.
Wednesday we made a huge green coconut veggie curry with rice. It turned out pretty good, but a little bland without added spice so (e:paul) could eat it. The only thing I would do differently next time is use actual coconut milk rather than the coconut cream that we had. It made it too thick and sweet.

Yummmmm coconut curry! Try a variant where you roast dried coconut flakes (4 tablespoons), coriander seeds, curry leaves, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, shredded galangal, ginger, green thai chillies and red thai chillies together in sesame oil and then add this to a stir fry of veggies with soy sauce. The results are amazing! :)

A clean green roomCategory: house
(e:paul) went on a crazy house cleaning and repair binge during his week long "vacation". I helped him out in cleaning the green room, which was absolutely trashed.
We already got rid of the fiberglass infested carpet, cleaned up the plaster from patching the ceiling entrance for the inebriated, and vacuumed up all the trash left over. It actually looks okay now.
Paul and I thought it might be cool to sand down and stain the wide plank floor, and fill the gaps in with some filler, either rope or an epoxy. The floor is ugly but still solid.

Crazy bike rideCategory: bikes
We got back from camping, rested a bit, and headed out for a bike ride down to the Canal and up the riverwalk.
On the Riverwalk/190 overpass, right after the tunnel we heard someone yelling. All of the sudden, this kid comes flying around the corner on his bike way too fast. He nicks (e:yesthatcasey)'s bike and slams head first into Terry's chest.
It was terrifying. (e:Terry) was scraped but up and walking quickly while the kid took a while longer. Besides asking if he needed help I didn't know what to do. The kid said he was fine, and when I asked him about his bike's broken brakes, he said he they haven't been working. It seems so behindert that he would go flying down an incline like that with no brakes - if he didn't hit Terry he would have gone head first into a concrete wall.
The kid didn't want any help and rode off. Poor Terry hurt his knee and sprained his hand - I guess it could have been worse.
Afterwards, we cut the ride short to get groceries and make dinner at home. We grilled, had corn on the cob, cheesy potatoes and white bean hummus. I was so full.

Oh man, didn't you get a good look at WHO was driving it? I say next time you see it, chase it down and demand to see the insides!
What I wonder is if you go through all the trouble of making your van look like that do you also drive in costume ? You couldn't do scooby cause that could cause crashes and eye hole would restrict vision I'm sure but one might at least wear some of the out fits ?? but I wonder did they get the insides to match or just keep that regular van ???
Hmm... that looks like a vehicle for hauling bound and gagged kidnapped people.
To be precise, I want to be driven in it.
