Jason and I both love to cook. This would be very apparent to anyone who saw our wedding registry. Life got interesting last year when I got pregnant and Jason had to pick up most of the cooking duties. I decided that chicken and salmon were gross, and I would no longer deem them acceptable eats. Jason thought that I had lost my mind about not liking salmon anymore, but I was firm in my belief that it was gross. Needless to say trying to fix food for a pregnant woman can test the fortitude of even the greatest of men. Jason really did do a great job keeping me feed and indulging some of my cravings. That brings us to the cookbooks. I love reading cookbooks and pick out what I want to make, but…..I just never get it done. Jason also likes the cookbooks, but never seems to go to them for inspiration. That is about to change. We are challenging ourselves this new year. We are going to pick a cookbook and make a new recipe each week. We haven’t decided if we will use a cookbook for a month with a new recipe each week or a different cookbook each week. I think the Japanese cookbook will be interesting.
By the way I am eating chicken again.
I think you should try Thai. That way you can feed me masaman curry and pad thai.
MMMMMMMM :-p……()
Do you have any idea of the prep-work involved in making Pad Thai? It’s a little crazy, and Samantha is providing all the crazy I need at the moment…
I’ll have to look into the Masaman Curry though…
(And a friend just turned me on to a great Thai place over here… It’s called Top Spice, and it’s pretty good… their Tom Yum soup is amazing.)
We will definitely have to check that out. I <3 thai food.
Masaman Curry involves coconut milk, curry and cashews (or peanuts). It is very tasty but I have no idea of it’s difficulty level.
As far as I know you just have to sit down in the right place and someone brings it to you….. I’m hoping that starts to happen at your house!
Ok… that will be $53.87 for the pad thai, and $48.32 for the Masaman Curry.

No thanks then. Bangkok Thyme will bring it to me for $10. :-p
