Curry is a complex blend of spices originating in India. Every region and family have their own special blend, but the spice mix generally includes, turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, chilies and curry leaves. Curry can be spicy or mild and red, green or yellow all depending on the spices used.
A curry dish is a sauce-based dishes with curry powder with coconut milk, a protein and vegetables served with rice or over rice.
Yellow curry is my favorite dish to order in a Thai or Indian restaurant, it usually comes with potatoes, onions, carrot and either chicken or tofu. I made this yellow curry with left over shredded chicken, grilled baby bok choy, cremini mushrooms, cabbage, and steamed baby broccoli. You can use leftovers, too.
Deadly Slater Fire 100% contained, but not officially ‘out’ [Siskiyou Daily News, Yreka, Calif.]
Dec. 11 The deadly Slater Fire which devastated the town of Happy Camp has been declared 100% contained, as has the smaller Devil Fire, Klamath National Forest officials said today. The fires were officially declared contained on Nov. 16.
Sparked Sept. 8 near the Slater Butte Lookout, the Slater Fire destroyed 198 homes and killed two people. Together with the Devil Fire, more than 166,000 acres were burned on the Klamath, Rogue River-Siskiyou and Six Rivers national forests.
While the fires are completely contained, they haven’t yet been declared “out,” said KNF representative Jennifer Erickson. Fires are declared “out” when officials are confident there’s no more “heat” inside the fire’s footprint. Burned stumps, for example, can smolder for weeks or months after a fire, Erickson said.
