An abandoned cottage in Ireland, hidden from view by overgrown hedges and decades of unchecked garden growth. Once a happy family home, now a silent husk.

Making this one tonight, always a wow recipe 🍛 ...

Massaman curry is my favourite out of all the Thai 🇹🇭 curries. I adjusted the linked recipe a little but it's authentic...

A can, 400ml Coconut Milk (ideally thai, full fat)
2 Chicken Thigh Fillets (I used breasts)
1 Onion, Diced (I used 4 shallots)
1 Potato, Diced (ideally waxy)
2 tbsp Palm Sugar (I use brown sugar)
1-2 tbsp Fish Sauce (or to taste, it's salty)
2 tbsp Tamarind Paste (ideally from Thailand)
2 Bay leaves
2 tbsp Roasted Peanuts (I use cashew nuts)
500ml+ chicken stock, progressively to slow cook
3 tbsp Massaman Curry Paste (I use Mae Ploy)

Note - I also saute a cinnamon stick, 1-2 star anise and 5 cardamon pods with the curry paste...

Enjoy

A 17th-century Japanese samurai helmet (kabuto) shaped like a dragonfly, crafted in a style known as kawari kabuto.

"In Japan, the dragonfly is symbolic of focused endeavor and vigilance because of its manner of moving up, down and sideways while continuing to face forward."

Did you know that to be available on Google, I had to:

- Remove donation links
- Hard-coded censorship
- Create a dedicated account so they can log into it

I am really upset by this difference in strictness, where I am stuck.
This cost a lot of energy because they made everything simple for the end user but not for the devs.
All these actions are not for protecting you, it's for controlling you.
