Adventures in Curry
I'm on a budget—there is a recession on, you know—so, limited dining out. I bought a $4 Thai cook book (Marshall's) and for Christmas I got a Crock Pot slow cooker (my corned beef is now officially to die for). Yesterday, I decided to make my second attempt at cooking a Thai curry. It was absolutely delicious, I won't claim it is as good as my favorite Thai place (in San Francisco, Dallas, or Austin) but it was really good.
So, the adventure part, you ask? I added some (in my Thai eating experience) vegetables to it, like celery and turnips (I never knew I liked turnips till I went to England) and they complemented it nicely.
Unless I am baking I use recipes as guidelines more so than instructions to be followed to the letter. Usually, it works out, occasionally it is a disaster, but it is at least more interesting that way.

Wonderful! I haven't done a lot with curry or curries. Any advice for a relative "beginner"?
Wait. What? You made curry in the crockpot? PLEASE share the recipe!
yeah, let me know some good CP recepies! I bought one @ Target for $15 during Xmas, and I still haven't used it other than to dump ice into it to cool wine! haha
