Domesticated? Not really...

Last Friday was declared a national holiday to celebrate the end of Ramadan. It was a delight to be able to get an extra day off work and relax with the family. I was actually in my domesticated mood, which was unusual, so I thought of cooking for my boys. Big Adrian and Andre boy. So what will I cook? I checked on our supplies and my mom suggested to cook chicken curry since she have red curry mix that was given by her friend.

Everyone who really knows me are aware that I am not a domestic goddess. I'd be out of my mind if I manage the house all by myself. So what do I know about cooking curry? I have to resort to my allies, the world wide web. I know Jmom have her kitchen site and I've been a lurker in her kitchen but never really dared try one of her recipes. But now, I need to know how to cook chicken curry. And as reliable as a mom.. she does have curry in her kitchen. I have to do away with the other veggies in the recipe because they are unavailable so I just add the usual potatoes and carrots. After about 30 minutes, with our own kitchen smelling like a yummy curry, its done and everyone loved it! Well, except for Andre, since I didn't dare give him any since red curry is way too spicy for kids. I'm happy that even if I'm not domesticated, I can still cook without everyone heading to the comfort room.

Thanks Jmom! *hugs*

Cool! I'm glad it came out well for you. We just had chicken curry again too :) The vegetables we put in changes to what we have on hand too. This time I only put root vegetables too. We just got some sweet potatoes (kamote) from our garden so I wanted to use some of that. That, regular potatoes, and carrots, pwede na! :)
