Rob's Golden Curry

I just love this curry that my husband occaisionally makes. He finally agreed to let me write down the recipe. If possible buy the ingrediants at an Asian Market he claims it makes a huge difference! (good coconut milk, good curry paste, etc.)

Ingredients:
About 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast; cut into bite sized slices
2 tbsp Olive Oil
½ Onion; sliced thinly into strips
3 Cloves Garlic; chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
¼ C Yellow Curry Paste (paste is better than powder)
3-4 15 oz cans Coconut Milk
2 tsp Thai Fish Sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1-15 oz can Bamboo shoots (optional)
1-15 oz can Oriental Straw Mushrooms (optional)
1-15 oz can Baby Corn (optional)
Thai Garlic Chili Sauce
Jasmine Rice

Instructions:
In a large sauce pan brown the chicken in olive oil, salt and pepper to taste; add onion and garlic. Add curry when chicken is almost cooked through and onion is translucent. Stir in coconut milk, add fish sauce. Add vegetables and lime juice. Heat until just boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve over Jasmine rice and add chili sauce for additional heat.

I am a longtime Arizona Cardinal fan. In the past I would probably make that statement anonymously. It is hard to explain to others (except maybe Lions fans) how painful it is to follow a team year after year that does not play any meaningful games past week eight! The "same ol' Cardinals" always seemed to find new and more heart-wrenching ways to lose (i.e. "They are who we thought they were").

This season was different. I realized this when Rob's mom gave us an early Christmas present and we were able to attend the Cards vs. 49ers monday night game in November. I was shocked to see how many Cardinal fans there actually were. For the longest time I was the only Cardinal fan I knew.

Anyway, I stuck with them. I sure had a great time watching them win each improbable playoff game and end up in the Super Bowl. In fact I was so caught up that in a moment of weakness just after the first playoff game (aided by a lemon-drop martini) I declared to Rob and Jake "If the Cardinals win the Super Bowl I think I'll get a Cardinal tattoo and you guys can pick out where it goes". During the game on Sunday with about 2:30 to go there were about 7 of us planning an outing to the tattoo shop and how they were all going to watch the inking; I bet I could have talked at least my neighbor Don into a Card tat also! However, even after our house doing their best to help the Cards (Josh did a great job staying in the bathroom - way to support the team!) they just couldn't do it, and fell short of the prize. We had a great time and I so glad we have such good friends and family to share these fun times with. That made the day awesome (even though it was depressing at the end).

I am extremely dissappointed.

I can't wait until next season!
