I made the curry instead of the tofu dish last night. The mix was in
powder form and a bit on the wimpy side so I used an additional half
package. Still, it was pretty good cause it's hard to mess up this dish.

our street. I seem to be on some sort to spicy food kick at the moment.
Unfortunately, my wife is having some trouble with acid reflux - bad
timing!
