Cooking, cooking, cooking...we put chicken in it...I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to look like Helen but this is the outcome...I also added snow peas and green onions to it.
I'm getting excited...Now when we first put the packet in the oil the odor was a bit obnoxious...But we were NOT going to give up...just thank goodness neither one of us were pregnant or we might have had to make a run to the restroom...It was a bit strong smelling but once it cooked for a bit it calmed down and wasn't too bad...
The finished results on steamed white rice...the package we tried...Thai Green Curry.
Helen R posing with the Curry...we hadn't tasted it yet...Well Okay Helen R. had stuck her finger in hers and tasted it, she liked it!! I was waiting so I could savior it, lol...
I took a bite....
Still working on it...Don't mind the goofy face it was hot off the stove...Also I really hate having my photo taken, especially while I am eating...LOL....but I had to do this for Aussie Helen. I wanted her to see my facial expressions...
I LIKE IT!! I LIKE IT!! It was pretty darn good!! It had a bite to it but not bad (meaning a wee bit spicey hot but not to awful bad)...I think I can see why Aussie Helen likes it...
Thank you Helen for the food Adventure...We decided next week we will try one of the other packets...Delicious!!
We might have to head to Corpus too to see if the Health Food Grocery store carries these packets, lol...or possibly a store in Houston!!
Thank you so much for the push to try curry Helen. The Thai Green Curry was really good and now when you talk about Curry I will understand just how your mouth waters....
I am so glad Helen R. came over for a visit too...otherwise there would have been no photos, lol....
Thank you Both for being in my life!! And for all the adventures and all the adventures to come!!
MWA!!

NO NO to vegimite, ewww....I was reading a book by an American visiting Australia and they tried Vegimite and said it was a cross between paste and paste, lol...Helen can keep her Vegimite!!
Oh WOW! I love curry, but am not well versed in the different kinds! Sounds yummy!! I'm glad you were willing to widen your horizons!!

Vegemite is definitely an acquired taste but if you grow up with it as we have here you love it!! (most people anyway)
Hey...Heln M here in Thailand....that was definately Thai green curry. If you want Indian curry which is yellow, and in MY opinion milder that Thai green...you can make it easily in Texas without having to search around for ingrediants. My former residence being Texas...my suggestion is to head on over to Krougers or HEB and get yourself a jar of curry powder in the spice section. Make a very simple white sauce, add curry powder...and what ever else you fancy, like onions or snow peas and lots of browned chicken, beef or pork chunks. Even the toughest of meat and potatoes men like this! If you want the recipe I have from my Thai cooking course for making green Thai curry from scratch (and as hot or as mild as you want) let me know. Big hugs...wish I could have been there to share ...another Helen!
