Ouch! Too hot!

[juliebata]

Take one potato, two onions, one small green pepper, and one small zuccini. Add bite sized, cut-up bird parts. Cook with two cans of a different flavor of Indian simmer sauce. Pour over one serving of Uncle Ben's "even an idiot can make it" rice. Dammitt! This sauce is WAY more spicy than the first one I tried! It violates my personal Mantra- Food Shouldn't Hurt!! Now I'm stuck with lots of leftovers, too. Anybody hungry?

It's fun to watch LJ users go through the day. I check in when I come home for lunch, and the British folks are all done with their day and making plans for the evening. I check in when I get home from work, most of my US friends have posted, and the British folks have gone to bed. (Are you guys six hours ahead of us, or seven?) I eat, watch TV, then try to think about what, if anything, I might want to talk about later. When I post, usually after midnight, only a few US die-hards are awake. Like holyoutlaw, two hours behind me on the west coast. I can always count on him to comment right away! Even when I write dumb stuff! When I check e-mail before leaving for work the next morning, if I'm lucky, I might have a comment waiting from a British friend. The whole never-ending, international, round-the-clock aspect of LJ is pretty cool!

Hah! You know me too well.

Sheesh.... and I was going to give up commenting in your journal for Lent. Guess I'm pegged now.

Lent? Lent?

Materialist bastards like me have no need for Lent.

However, I have to know about Indian simmer sauce in a can.

Hmmm, despite losing a bit of our edge, dear_hubby and I still love spicy foods. We don't get the same practice, of course, because there's no Indonesian community in Ireland to keep us in practice, and most of our friends' tastes are, shall we say, mild.

If I'd lived down the hall from you, you'd have been getting a knock on your door, even if it was dead bird pieces. :) I so hate seeing good food go to waste. *greedy look*

Simmer sauce...

The name is Jyoti, if I can get it at Woodmans, you can surely find it at Safeway. If not, I bet it's at the Asian market at... um... oh, let me think... Wolfe & Homestead. The one I liked was the saffron and cream, the one that was too hot was the classic masala. Simmer away....

Not to worry...

I wouldn't throw out that much food! It'll go into the freezer. Next time I need a hot dish for a potluck, I'm all set!

I think there is a collection of cooks on the first floor of my apartment building. Any evening that I go down there- as I must to get to the laundry room- the smells in the hallway are mouth-watering! I just want to knock on the door of a total stranger and say "your dinner smells wonderful- can I have some?" They might take pity on me if they knew I was eating Tuna Helper or frozen pizza!

Tuna Helper is Miss D's favorite dinner. Consider carefully how and where you divulge this information to her.
