Curry Shack #2
Yet another unmitigated success in the curry department!
The Curry Shack was warm on a chilly night. We cooked again over the gas grill by the light of candles and Christmas lights.
We had made rice earlier in the day so that was out of the way, and I made a Rasam that I thought came out a little dodgy. Passable but not quite what I was shooting for.
The meet up was set between two and three in the afternoon for a soccer game and a try on the swings at the middle school in Ladd's Addition. I had the feeling this would happen, but due to the last minute announcements and a seemingly complete disinterest in spending part of a perfectly good Saturday running about after a ball, I was the only one there! I shot baskets and scored a personal best 6 for 51 then split back to get cooking.
Folks wandered in in ones and twos and we got the ball rolling. First up I made a Chicken Korma which was lovely. My housemate Carla made Dall and we re-heated the Rasam. I made another rich chicken curry this one based in tomatoes. Carla got started on a veggie green Tai curry. All in all we had two rice dishes, four curries and sides of veggies and fried tofu.
The Curry Shack in it's full blown glory.
Girr.
Casey Neill beginning to show early signs that he will be successful in getting into character to sing Shane MacGowan songs at the big St. Pats day Pogues tribute show at the Doug Fir.
This Curry Shack instigated a new free sticker scheme.
Maria and Carla.
With the propane out, bellies full, and the temperature tumbling the troops retreated inside and carried on.
John and Casey
Carla and Missy.
Cheers gang!

Curry Shack Adventure #1
Sunday saw the the start of the cunning Curry Shack nights, promising at least one good meal a month to PDX Metro goers.
The weather may have kept folks away from the planned appetite inducing kick around, but Amber and Carla made it and we had fun under gray skies out on the fields.
After bagging all that running around and kicking the ball we walked to the house and threw open the garage door and began the festivities. I started with a completely successful Chicken Korma, and Carla whipped up veggies and mushrooms.
All in all we would have two rice dishes, one non-curry veggie dish, and three curries; two Indian and one Tai.
Candles gave the Curry Shack a warm glow.
Carla and I disagreed on my green curry. I found it to be a failure due to it's heavy, dull taste. Everyone else maintained it was fine. Enjoyable even. I think though that they were just being nice though I did notice though that no one actually died after eating it.

We cooked over a gas grill which proved to be tops!
Jeff and Orna sprung an odd song and dance routine on us.
Carla with green curry...
and Susan with dinner.
My last dish was a rich and successful Indian curry with chicken and veggies...
which Jeff approved of.
The plan is that come spring this wall will be completely full of oil stained, smudged, and almost burned up recipes.
