The curry chase

Hi Natty honey!  Sorry, I'm running late again today.  It started this morning, after I did my morning chores, I decided to make my generic curry.  I use coconut milk, so I checked on the coconuts I already had on my porch, and they were dried up.  OK then, let's see if there were any coconuts on the ground under the tree.  But no, those were all dried up too.  I felt like I was being sabotaged!  I had a liter of milk that my Mom gave me, but I can't use that because I'm lactose intolerant.  Besides, I have plans to make alfredo sauce.  So I needed something to eat my bread with.  I had beef, onions, and garlic.  I yanked out some ginger root from the yard, not much there but enough.  I had brown gravy mix, but I don't really like brown gravy, especially when I had my heart set on curry.  So I diced up the beef, onions and garlic, browned them up, added curry powder, salt and water, then let it stew.  Good enough for my bread, without being too weird.

But I still wanted to make curry, so in the evening I decided to pull down some coconuts from the tree.  Getting to the point of actually pulling the fruit down took a while, all sorts of things to do, then opening up the coconuts and extracting the meat.  By that time I had to cook my dinner, and I also needed to eat my dinner.  No, I can't do both at the same time.  I had that curry flavored beef I made in the morning, so all I needed was fry bread.  Then I had to make haste to the mosque, because I always try to be there to every Tuesday night to listen to the elderly Qur'an teacher talk.  And I just got back.  I haven't made my curry yet.  Maybe tomorrow.  How are you today, Honey?  If you are busy, please make sure you take care of your health and your heart, OK?  Please remember to pray.
