TGIF: Cooking with curry

Years ago, my father found a recipe for Shrimp a la Indie.
To a man from rural south Georgia, it sounded exotic.
In South Carolina, the ingredients were hard to find.
It called for chutney, curry powder and Garam masala.
He had to special order many ingredients.
His kids turned up their noses. It wasn’t fried chicken.
But the aroma was tantalizing. We tasted it. Delicious.
That was the only time he ever prepared it.
I’ve tried to find that recipe ever since. No luck.
If you have the recipe, please email it to me.
We love Indian food. Some is elaborate and time-consuming.
Here’s a quick curry recipe you can try this weekend.
It takes almost no time at all.

Easy Chicken Curry (for 4)
3-4 lb. frying chicken
4 gloves garlic
1 teaspoon Garam masala
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 pint warm milk
1 cup cooked rice
Roast chicken. Saute garlic, spices, sugar and curry powder. Add remaining ingredients. Stir. Carve roasted chicken. Serve on a bed of rice. Serve sauce on side. Enjoy.

Making difficult choices in life

It’s hard to overcome addictions.
Too much coffee, tobacco or other substances.
I know. It took me years to give up cigarettes.
Disciplining yourself is demanding.
To become successful, you must have discipline.
Successful people make hard choices.
Unsuccessful people don’t.
Successful people choose good habits.
They keep fit and healthy.
Eat properly. Get adequate rest.
Make plans and hold themselves accountable.
Good habits demand self discipline.
Bad habits only ask self-indulgence.
Bad habits are easy to acquire, hard to live with.
Bad habits lead to addiction. Job loss. Divorce. Jail.
Good habits are hard to acquire, easy to live with.
Good habits lead to success. Fulfilled dreams.
A richer life. More fun. Loving families.
