Squat or Not?

Mar 4, 2010 Author: Amy | Filed under: Squat or Not

It kills me to see a poorly performed squat. With that said, some public shaming is in order. How is it a person attempting to demonstrate the squat can get it so wrong, and some lady doing her laundry get it right?

Coconut Curry in a Hurry

Mar 2, 2010 Author: Amy | Filed under: Recipes

Hectic lives make it hard to find time for complex gourmet recipes. This recipe gives you a bit of exotic “oh la la!” in just fifteen minutes. Try this punchy sauce over salmon and steamed frozen veggies (as pictured here).

Coconut Curry Sauce
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
1 can coconut milk
3 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric

Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and add the garlic and ginger. Stir and fry for about one minute, until the onions and garlic are soft. Add the coconut milk and spices to the pot. Continue to stir over medium heat as the coconut milk dissolves and blends with the spices. Bring to a slow boil and remove from the heat a few minutes before serving.

Ways I have eaten this sauce:

  • Steam some frozen mixed veggies and quickly pan-fry a salmon fillet. Pile up the veggies on a deep plate, top with the salmon, then drown in about 1/2 cup of the curry sauce.
  • Hard-boil some eggs, cool, peel, and split in halves. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with warmed curry sauce.
  • Hard-boil some eggs, cool, peel. Scoop out the yolks and mix with curry sauce, then stuff them back into the whites. Curried deviled eggs!
  • Mix the curry sauce half-and-half with some real/homemade mayonaise and use as a dip for veggies.
  • With the curry sauce heated in a saucepan drop in some cooked shrimp, heat through. Serve over veggies or cauliflower “rice”.
