I finally saw Terminator the first one, and I saw the third one in the last week or two before I left Canada, so I figured this was a good time to watch Terminator 2 again. Fahim has the collectors edition with all sorts of special stuff added in. What are they exactly? Yeah, I don’t have a clue.
Beef Curry
1 cup cubed beef
2 tablespoons oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
3 tablespoons coconut vinegar – cook for about 45 minutes, then add:
3/4 cup chopped onion shoots
1 tomato, diced
1 t salt – and cook for another 15 minutes.
The vinegar definitely helped tenderize the meat, but it’s still too chewy, so please, help me. I don’t want to torture Fahim any longer than I have to.
Vegetable Curry
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 potato, chopped
2 carrots, chopped (running out of vegetables, so gotta bulk up somewhere)
2 Bombay onions, chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water – cook for 15 minutes, then add
5 capsicum, chopped
2 green chilis, chopped – and cook for an addition 5 or 10 minutes
And we had Fruit and Nut ice cream for dessert. It’s good, really really good. I wanted to get chocolate ice cream at the grocery store, but Fahim ixnayed that – chocolate anything here isn’t that chocolatey. They use oh 1/2 or 1/3 as much cocoa as they should by North American standards, so it ends up being barely chocolate flavored. Damn. And not too good, says Fahim. Fahim insisted that the Fruit and Nut ice cream was really good, so I relented, and yeah, I agree, it is that good. Way better than, oh, I don’t know, say, chocolate, napolean (neapolitan. sheesh. laugh a little, why don’t’cha?), strawberry, vanilla, or any of the plain janes of the ice cream world. I’m not that much of an ice cream afficiondo – dairy bad, very very bad. I know I like oreo, chocolate chip mint, pumpkin cheese cake, cherry cheese cake, cherry garcia, tin roof sundae, and that’s about all I can think of at the moment. Well, this fruit and nut rates right along with those. Yum.
