I think this should be your stress-busting face.

Vanessa-
I have decided to try and tackle the new years resolution you suggested for me. January is cold and my face for the month reflects its effects. It will be interesting to see what face February inspires. It is going to be a tough, but rewarding year.

Curry Rice Salad

Ingredients:
Short grain brown rice - 1 to 1 1/2 cup, best is organic (I used 4 cups cooked brown rice.)
One large yellow onion - chopped
Curry paste (mild), 2 heaping tablespoons, or curry powder - red or yellow Indian (not Thai)- 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup Olive oil , (I didn't use quite that much oil, more like 2 tablespoons.)
dash Cumin
dash Chili pepper
a few drops sesame oil
chopped Cilantro
1 cup Raisins
One apple - cored and chopped (not peeled)
2 tablespoons honey
Salt
Celery - chopped
Snow peas - stringy ends chopped off, then chopped
Bell pepper, red, green, or yellow - chopped
Green onions - chopped
Italics = optional ingredients
1. Prepare the brown rice. Put rice in a big pot, add 1 3/4 cups of water for every cup of rice, bring to a boil, cover, lower the heat on very low, let simmer for 45 minutes, take off heat and keep covered for at least another 10 minutes.
2. Prepare onions and curry oil. In a large saucepan put 1/4 cup of olive oil on medium high heat. Add a couple heaping tablespoons of curry paste (if it is mild) or add a couple of tablespoons of mild curry powder. Add a dash of chili pepper and cumin and a few drops of sesame oil if you have it. Let the curry simmer for a minute. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until translucent.
3. Mix rice and onions. In a large mixing bowl, put in the hot rice and then fold in the onions with the curry infused oil in which they were cooked. You'll need to use a strong wooden spoon to mix. Taste test the rice at this point. If it needs more curry flavor, heat some more curry powder, chili, and cumin in olive oil for a few minutes and add to the rice to desired spiciness. I didn't need to add any more.
4. Add other ingredients to taste - cilantro, raisins, apple, celery, snow peas, bell pepper, green onions. Add a couple tablespoons of honey. Add a dash of salt to taste.
5. Chill and serve. Serves 4 to 6.
The secret to this recipe is the cilantro, raisins, and chopped apple. Sesame oil is a nice touch.
You can also add shrimp, large or small, to it to make it more of a cold main salad dish.
The salad gets better the longer it sits in the fridge (to a point) because of the absorption of the curry oil. So it is a good idea to make a big batch because the leftovers are even better.

New Year's Resolutions???


Post some of your own or you can tell us what you think someone else's should be.

2008 And All's Well


Just an update on my health and whereabouts: I am safe and having a jolly good time. Ringing in the New Year in Amsterdam was a lot of fun. I admit I was a bit worried about attending a mass celebration on my own, but it turned out to be a most exciting night. I ended up getting to know all the people around me very well and counted in 2008 in Dam Square with a Dutchman, an Italian, a couple of Spaniards and 2 Germans... and 30,000 other people from who knows where. Though, I only said Happy New Year and exchange the traditional European 3 cheek kiss with about half of them. It was a wild party.
I’m half way through my trip already and though I am tired and my legs and feet are just getting used to this constant walking thing, I wish I could stay longer. Perhaps my legs will grow accustom just in time to return to the sedentary life of my desk.
