I'm feeling good. I went grocery shopping yesterday and finally got some staples for my house: not a ton, but I can at least make some simple recipes, and I have things on hand so I can branch out a little bit at a time without dropping $50.

Fantastic failure? Are you kidding me? I really admire all that you've done and who you are.

What a strange girl. I'm especially baffled since she was also a philosophy student. You'd think she'd be able to look outside the box.

Where do you find those? I was at WFC yesterday and sort of vaguely looking for curry flavoring and didn't spot anything.

When I was in Chicago I tried coconut curry chicken from a Thai restaurant and it is what started my love affair with coconut milk. I go through phases (typically around January) where I really want more of it. We tried cooking rice in coconut milk (substituting half the water for coconut milk, IIRC) and the result was delicious - sweet and coconut-y, but subtly, so it worked with savory foods as well.
