Discovery Park Hike

Today I took a hike at Seattle's Discovery Park with my friend Anya. As you can see the wild flowers, and the fire boat in the distance, are in full bloom.

HeavyHex Cafe's vindaloo for two

Vindaloo for two.

I've never made this from a recipe before and just use the "little-of-this, little-of that" method so everything here is an approximation.

Start cooking 1/2 cup (uncooked) red cargo rice or brown rice.

Saute the following in 2 tblspn olive oil +/-, with 1 tsp sesame oil +/- until the chicken and potatoes are cooked:
1/2 lb chicken (or lamb, or pork, or firm tofu) cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1/2 cup onion cut into chunks
1/3 cup carrots cut into match sticks
2 potatoes cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 or 2 cloves diced fresh garlic
2 tsp diced fresh ginger
1 tblsp rice vinegar  +/- to taste

After the chicken and potatoes are cooked through add:
2 tsp +/- Soy sauce
1 tsp +/- curry
Cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste

Add about a 1/3 cup of water and let everything heat up to a slow boil while stirring.
Dissolve 1 tsp corn starch in 1/3 cup cold water and slowly stir into the slowly bubbling mixture

Wait for the sauce to thicken then stir in:
1/4 cup green onion
1/2 cup shredded cabbage

Serve over cooked rice.
