The first time I made fish curry, it was a practice run for a dinner party.
Pantry Update #11: Fish curry, reprise

Pantry Update #10: Everyday Chinese
I’ve finally built up the pantry and experience to throw together a Chinese-inspired light meal with little to no planning or need to consult a recipe.
Dish #39: Chili oil
Having a great tasting chili oil around is key. A great chili oil can make almost any vegetable into a cold salad, or make any noodles a meal. Throw cilantro on there and boom: you’ve got a meal.
Dry-fried salt & pepper vegetables
So. When you get salt & pepper shrimp at a restaurant, they serve it on vegetables. I have successfully made the shrimp, and I’ve made dry-fried beans, so when I realized I had onions and green pepper to stretch the few green beans I had into enough for two people, I applied my collected experience into making the vegetables they serve under salt & pepper shrimp.
It was easy. And it was glorious.
Postpartum shout-outs
Three plus years and two babies later, it’s time to get back to this. My last post was twelve days before my oldest was born. (Hello, spicy bean burgers!) I thought I’d start back with a shout-out to the folks who provided Sebastian and I with much welcomed food in the first days and weeks after each baby was born, freeing us up to marvel at our newborns.
