Those strawberries sound great. Never heard of sweetened sour cream -
was it simply sweetened with sugar and what does it taste like?

Dinner tonight involves chicken thigh fillet, rice and curry... I
haven't developed a plan beyond using those ingredients yet.

The sour cream was sweetened with Sweetzfree which is a liquid version of
Splenda. Your dinner sounds good, can't really miss with those ingredients.

Thanks, I might try sweetening some sour cream out of sheer curiosity.

True. I don't use curry a lot but was in the mood for both it and rice
today. I ended up using garlic & onion, tomatoes, a can of coconut
cream plus the curry, of course. Also some fresh parsley and served on
a bed of basmati. It was yum, I should make this sort of thing more
often.
