^ You eat good, ICC!
Not sure what to have tonight yet. Sockeye salmon is on sale this week, though. I'll pick some up.

Had some leftover ham, so I did up some fried rice. Ham, leftover calrose rice, peas, egg (seasoned with chipotle pepper sauce and sesame oil), and green onions. It gave me a chance to break in a Chinese spoon-spatula I picked up over the weekend.

Turkey burgers tonight. We really enjoy the flavour, and they're quite lean (especially since I don't add any fat to cook them).

Curry! Green curry with bok choy and steamed rice. It was nice to have a home cooked meal again.

Hmm. I've never had green curry, Arrianna. Sounds interesting. Had Chinese last night.

AC - all you need to do is go to a decent Thai restaurant and you can get an education in the various colored curries. I've only been a few times, so I don't remember off the top of my head the relative heat levels of each type.

Well the hottest is green because it gets it's color from green chilies, if it's authentic anyway. It usually has lemon grass and is paired with Kaffir lime leaves. Kind of a hot sour flavor. The next in heat would probably be red curry which is made with multiple chilies and seasonings like coriander, turmeric, etc. It the most flavorful of the curries and probably the most common. There are different heat levels of red curry as well depending on what chilies have been used. The least hot would be yellow curry. It's main color comes from lemon grass so you can probably guess what that tastes like. There are milder red curries but they are usually not that authentic.

Thanks, Arri. All I know is I'd rather have a Thai curry than an Indian curry any day. I've had both, and while I like spicy food, I don't enjoy eating something that's so hot I can't taste the other ingredients.

I've never actually had Indian curry myself. I was introduced to it by a little Samoan woman who could really cook. Other then her Taro and Chicken Curry (with an entire bulb of garlic) I've only had Chinese and Thai curry.
