Most folks turn off all electrical devices before going to bed!

It's one of the benefits (turn it on before going to work), but I can see how that view would contra this benefit. I like them because they suit my style (slow
) and because I like what they do to meat (infuse it with so much flavour while bringing it to "melting" (in your mouth) point). I haven't done a veggie curry in it yet, though I love veggie curries too, so I should give it a go.
I have just finished mortar-and-and-pestling some Thai green curry paste while The Loved One clipped our Maggie-dog (the heat is getting to her). I discovered that (Megan) Washington's album (and, no doubt, those of others) is good to bash away to. I love mortar-and-pestling...smelling each ingredient add its aroma to the paste (well, not the
gapi at first
). Thai green chicken curry tonight.
Cheers,
