Tried a New Recipe Last Night

As I've mentioned I'm addicted to RSS feeds. Right now I'm subscribed to around 80 feeds about food and cooking. One of these feeds is Simply Recipes, their recipe Curried Ground Turkey with Potatoes caught my eye a couple of days ago. I made it last night, ate a small bowl and I have to say it is good. I used to know a lady who made great curries. She didn't use any recipe, usually she just looked at what she had on hand and made it up as she went. I can't do that, at least not with curry.

I'm writing this during my lunch, which is left over curry! I let a co-worker try it and she did NOT like it, but she'd never had curry before.

Hmm, have to call around and see if anyone wants to go the Great Indian Restaurant. I haven't been there for a while and could use a fix of their Chicken Tikka Masala.

Reflecting on and off...

I've been thinking about a lot of things recently. I need a new job. The current one is fine except I'm on my feet all day and it's getting just a little too painful lately. It's also getting too repetitive. I'm finding that I'm letting myself slide on what I already know and not as enthusiastic as I once was to learn the new stuff.

It's been almost two years since I bought my house and I'm still not done doing all the things I want to to it, of course I probably never will be, that's one of the things with owning a house. I do need to get the walks done before winter.

I want to blog, mostly about books and movies and food, but also about my house and how and what I do to make it more HOME than house. Oh, a couple of ideas for organizing your home:

  • An over the door pocket organizer (usually used for shoes) is great on the inside of a pantry door or maybe even a kitchen door. It is great for holding can openers and other tools or pouches of various mixes (Kool Aid, salad dressing, et cetera), bags of nuts, chocolate chips and other food items in bags or small boxes. Get one with clear pockets so you can see the contents.
  • It the same vein a hanging jewelry organizer is good for keeping small computer/electronic or even personal items sorted and organized. Everything from headphones, flash drives, accessories for cameras and cell phones to tools, spare parts & cords, rolls of film, lens filters, et cetera.
Since I got my Motorola Droid I've become addicted to RSS feeds, at the moment I'm subscribed to over 200. Mostly about Android powered devices, Books & Reading, Food & Cooking, Entertainment (TV & Movies) Archaeology and Space. Oh and also Cryptozoology & UFOlogy (sorry, guilty pleasure).

Well, I need to get some sleep so I'll stop for now.
