I want to make chicken curry in the slow cooker today for dinner but am unsure if curry is a trigger or not.  I don't want to try and find out later! lol

Anybody?

Nevermind, I took a whiff of the stuff and it triggered off shadows. :P

Looks like I'll be making Orange Chicken and Sweet Potatoes instead!

(it's served over a bed of long grain brown rice :))

I am having a "warm salad" (Saw on TODAY SHOW last week & looked yummie!)

Saute some red onions,  red peppers, cooked bacon, spices, eg, salt & pepper, ginger, cumin, & a bit of oj

Roasted chunks of sweet potatoes, which were coated with olive oil, salt & pepper & garlic

A bed of Raw Spinach
Top with sauteed mixture, & then warm roasted sweet potatoes

A nice glass of Red wine, & some Garlic Naan!

Oh God Deb does that sound GOOD!!!

Not sure what to make tonight.  Meg has rehersal for the school musical till after 9 pm.  Thats awful late for a big meal.  I think maybe Chicken Alfredo, maybe chicken noodle soup?

I think it'll be soup, because that way it can heat up nice that late at night.

Since I live life during the week as a bachelor 300 miles from home, dinner will consist of frozen pizza and not-frozen beer.

Well I made meatballs and then cooked them in a cranberry sauce and chili ketchup mess until they got all sticky and yummy and served them with mashed potatoes and peas.. It was a recipe I cut out of the newspaper there and it was gorgeous and soooo simple!

Jasper asked me what it was so I said Dog Poo Delight and no surprises, he ate the lot and loved it LOL It's a keeper!

OMG mel,  I put Pineapple Chicken and sweet potatoes in the crockpot this morning!  It's the first time I have ever made it and also got wild rice to serve with it!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

:D

*snicker*

Had Moroccan chicken from a recipe that Helen gave me.  Very yummy but I'm sure it would have been better if someone else had done the cooking. ;)

Curry gives me a headache, and I'm only a supporter!

I think it was all those years of living in an apartment next to an Indian couple who used copious amounts of curry in everything.

Curry never bothered me.  Which is good because I LOVE Indian food!!!  Thai curry dishes are good too!!!

Andrea is making Turn Around Turkey with Rice.  It looks something like this: START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE

With her own spin on it of course  8-)

Left over chili.  Always better the second time around.

We're going to Applebees.

We had steak and veg pie with a ceasar salad.

Curry isn't a trigger for me thank god. I can give up the booze no probs, but I don't know what I'd do if I had to give up my favourite food of all time (not that I'll be eating anything BUT salad for the next 5 weeks...).

I can't seem to find curry powder around here, only the paste.  And all the recipies I've seen call for the combination of curry and coconut milk/cream.  

The scent of Coconut is a trigger for me even with RC seeds.  I bought a coconut/lime hand lotion a year or so back, and I can't be around it at all.  Coconut scented shampoo does the same damn thing.

Not chanceing it.  Any suggestions?

It all sounded good till I got to the last line ...

Red Wine??  MAJOR trigger for many, including me!

I'm glad Red Wine is NOT a trigger for me.  I adore it.  But then if it were...I'd probably never have developed the palate for it... 8-)

Curry in close quarters is nasty! Last year I was on a trip in Denver. We were there for a few days working at 2 sites so we stayed at one of those Marriott suites places. Wasn't a Residence Inn, more like studio apartments. Well the whole floor I was on smelled like curry. It was nasty. When I checked out the lady asked me how my stay was, and I told her it was a good trip but that I wouldn't stay there again because of the smell. It reeked into my room!!!  She credited me one night's charges. Worked out well because Joe had joined me there for 1 extra night so I didn't have to pay out of pocket.

I started my day with an 8:00 dentist appt. getting a crown installed and another one started. (Note: DO NOT EAT ICE ANYMORE) so my mouth was sore. Then the snow started coming down and after getting to work 90 min. late I shortly found out we got to leave 3 hrs early!!! So I worked a grand total of 3 1/2 hrs. today. The kids were off anyways for a teacher inservice. I stopped at the store on my way home and got everything for a big pot of homemade beef veg. soup and added some homemade sweet potato biscuits that our local church was selling. Perfect dinner for a cold snowy day with a sore mouth!

Only used curry powder here. Not the same.

My diet so far today:

Scrambled eggs, 1/2 bagel, and banana

boiled ham slices.

tunafish sandwich & tomato soup

two Wasa bread pieces

McDonalds apple pie

Can't wait to hit my freezer for one of my late dinners.

Pegg I have literally loads and tons of curry recipes which do not use curry powder or paste and no coconut either. Just mixing your own spices  - its what I do.

I'll get some out to you! I know I haven't done that chicken in cider thingy yet but I've not made it since and I need to write it down as I go LOL

Can give you my morrocan chicken recipe? Paul likes it and he's not dead yet!

Thanks Helen,

I knew you'd have something for me.  I love curry, and there are recipies that don't have coconut, but i couldn't find any.

You got my email...send me what you have.  I'll convert to american measurements or just use my senses.  

Thank you my dear friend.

I sometimes replace single cream with coconut cream in my curries, so there's no reason why you couldn't do the same the other way round.

I love recipe posts - can we have them posted here? The Arroz Con Pollo (which I think came from Chuck) has become a firm family favourite here - I cook it in my slow cooker now when I have lots of mouths to feed and it always goes down a storm.

Wednesday is always yoga night, so dinner was leftovers: sausage soup and kidney bean-vegetable-chopped meat pie. I did made a cabbage side salad, but mom doesn't touch anything with cabbage in it. Well, more for me... ;D
