dinner for the past two nights - sweet potato curry with shrimp (based on squash curry at local thai resteraunt - pretty accurate recreation and good)
Sweet potato, onion, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, pineapple, a little broccoli for contrast. Sauce - unsweetened coconut milk, a little sugar, curry power, lightly sauted garlic (just sort of started, mostly to be cooked in sauce), wine, salt. Bring sauce to simmer, add sweet potatoes (peeled and cut in chunks). After sweet pototates have cooked about 15 minutes add everything except shrimp. When everything is cooked to taste, add shrimp and let cook until done (about three minutes). You could use any boullion or dry soup base instead of salt. Vegetarians and vegans could add some of the classic Vietmese Seitan flavored to taste like shrimp. Or any other kind of vegan protein source that curries well and has the right kind of flavor to contrast well with the other ingredients.
(Also now there's some Justin Bieber video premiere, and he's singing about needing someone to love, and it's the first time I've actually seen him in motion, and...good god. Why?? I mean, yes, he looks like a lot of the girls I date, but, DAMN. He's too young to need someone to love. And he's actually a 22 year old lesbian.)
That curry sounds good--red or white wine?
Oh, well. I would also like some spaghetti with a good hearty meat sauce. I hate marinara sauce unless it's on cheese sticks or shrimp.
What do you base your meat sauce with, if not tomato?
And he's actually a 22 year old lesbian.
He looks like an underage lesbian to me. Like, yes, sweetie, you want someone to love. But right now it's a misdemeanor. Just maybe wait a while...
Who looks JUST LIKE ita.
ita would never let her hair get that long!
Oh, well. I would also like some spaghetti with a good hearty meat sauce. I hate marinara sauce unless it's on cheese sticks or shrimp.

I assume the hatred of marinara meant hatred of plain tomato sauce, which, yeah.
I don't think you guys have had good marinara.
There are no songs about girls named Elizabeth. sits back and waits for a list of such songs, in 3... 2... 1...
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" - Allman Brothers.
BTW if you guys don't know about one of the easiest, most amazing tomato sauces ever (Marcella Hazan, the secret is BUTTER), here you go: [link]
I was skeptical but this sauce is rigoddamndiculous. You just have to add half a stick of butter.
