Oh god yes.. making chicken curry tonight. I've been craving some curry. I know this isn't tradidional curry in the sense, but it's pretty close and it's damn good:

Recipe:

 

 

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter

2 medium onions, finely chopped (2 cups)

2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger

3 tablespoons curry powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces

1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

3/4 cup cashews (1/4 pound)

3/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

 

Accompaniment: cooked basmati or jasmine rice

Garnish: chopped fresh cilantro

 

Heat butter in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring to coat, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, including juice, and cilantro and bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. (If making ahead, see cooks' note, below.)

Just before serving:

Pulse cashews in a food processor or electric coffee/spice grinder until very finely ground, then add to curry along with yogurt and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.

Pssh. The only diet I ever need is STAY AWAY FROM CHEETOS OH GOD STAY AWAY FROM HOT CHEETOS!

Other than that, though, I've always just taken a bike ride afterwards. The wind in my face just makes me… feel better. I've been floating around 195 pounds for a while now, so I guess it must work :P

Jack, you know that those cheese bite pizzas were out quite a few years ago and they just brought them back right? Just curious.

 

I totally just had some Dominos pizza. It's supposed to ice storm like fuckin crazy here tonight and didn't want to go out in the cold.

 

I was told about that earlier, but I'd never tried it when it was out the first time, so there ya go.

I'm eating Sour Jelly Beans. They're not so great. Good thing I have a bag of normal Jelly Beans as well.

 

The Ton Katsu Donburi I just ate was pretty damn delicious. Man, my local Japanese sushi restaurant is awesome.

Ton Katsu Donburi

 

Every time someone mentions tonkatsu, I think of this super freaky commercial they used to show in Japan for a super obscure GBA game. I'm trying to find it, but I can't remember the title! I'll keep looking.

 

-UPDATE-

 

Fuck yeah! I love the internet so goddamn much.

If you think that's good, cook some noodles and mix in some velveeta and milk. It's SO much better than that instant shit.

 

That... that actually sounds really good.

 

They don't sell Velveeta around here though, and I don't trust Kraft's American Cheese enough to try that without an endorsement first.
