No internet and Curry Soup!

Sadly, I lost my internet service. My room mate was paying for it, but decided he did not want to spend the money on it anymore. I will be coming to the library or other various places to get on to keep blogging ( I am now truly addicted). But, I have realized that this is a blessing. When I get up now I go for a walk, rather then read blogs and fine things to waste my time online!

Dinner Last Night
Yesterday, I wanted to make a chicken stew type thing, but it turned into a sweet potato curry, it was delicious!
2 Large Sweet Potatoes
4 chicken breast
1 onion
1/2 bag of mixed frozen veggies
2 cloves of garlic
Piece of ginger about the size of your thumb
Palm full of chili powder
2 TB Soy sauce
1/2 cup of Soy Milk
2 TB flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 cups of water
Ms. Dash Italian Seasoning
2 TB Curry Paste
10 mushrooms cut in halfs
In the morning I peeled and cut sweet potatoes threw them in the bottom of my crock pot, added onions ( I cut in 4ths then cut those 4ths into 4ths). Add chicken Add seasoning and thinly sliced garlic, add frozen veggies, mushrooms and water. I started this about 11:45 and it was ready about 7 when I got home.

I then melted some butter in a stock pan and added flour and browned. I added my soy milk and let it thicken and worked out the clumps. I then scooped out my veggies and chicken draining the water as I scooped but you will need some of the water to thin out the sauce. I then drained the rest of the soup in the water and added those to the soup. I added the soy sauce, the curry paste, and chili powder, ginger. The sweet potatoes cooked down and were no longer chunks but added taste and color.

  2. That soup sounds yummy. I may need to give it a try. :) Good job on getting up to do a walk! I need to take a page from you other competitors and get my butt in gear in the morning. It would be nice to get the exercise out of the way first thing.
