Everyday

Hi Natty!  I listened to your latest V,OID episode last night.  I was 4 days late though.  I used to check that link all the time but there was no new content, so after a while I just forgot to check it.  I guess that's my fault for assuming that between the 5 or 6 of you, would have something to say everyday.  You don't really need to have a guest speaker to make yourselves credible, after all, you are active.  Ists.  I sure you guys have something meaningful to talk about each day, it is your show right?  So I'll get back checking that link all the time, please forgive me.

Dinner today was rice and poached eggs in curry.  I have so much rice right now, I have to eat it.  So I made a man-sized helping of rice and poached eggs in curry.  It's so easy!  You know how to make curry, right?  You don't?  Blend some chopped onions, water, and a can of anchovies (here we use "belacan" (fermented shrimp paste)), pour it into a mixing bowl, then whip in curry powder until consistent, to the desired strength.  Then fry it up (medium heat!) in enough oil that it would be greasy, until brown.  Turn the heat down to low and add cream and milk (here we use coconut milk), stir and bring to a soft boil.  Taste, add salt if needed.  Easy, right?  Crack a couple of eggs into the curry and bring to a soft boil.  Cover the pot, turn off the heat and wait a few minutes.  Then douse your steaming hot white rice with the curry until the rice is drowning in in curry.
