Tummy Troubles and Curried Chicken

I ate something in the last 3 or 4 days that is making my tummy very upset. I wish it would just hurry up and get out. I don't like being all bloated and yucky feeling. I didn't sleep well last night or the night before because of it. I had the weirdest nightmares. I guess upset stomach makes me dream weird things. Anyways on to the next thing.

I made a delicious curry vegetable chicken dish. I made it up on the spot of course. I really like it. It's simple and easy. Jay's mom could even cook it if she had the motivation. The most annoying part is chopping vegetables.


Chicken Vegetable Curry

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-size cubes
1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
2 large fat carrots, cut into bite-size pieces
2 large handfuls of mini-mushrooms, cut into slices
2 small onions, cut into large pieces
3 large cloves of garlic, chopped small
olive oil
salt
curry powder

Chop everything because this goes quick once the chicken hits the pan. Put a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt in a pan and heat on medium-high. When the pan is very hot, add the chicken. Do NOT let to oil start smoking; that is too hot. Stir the chicken around every couple minutes, until its white all over. Add all the vegetables and 3 palm-fulls of curry powder. Stir to cook evenly. When the broccoli is deep, bright green., it's done. Makes 4-5 servings depending on how many vegetables you use.


Oh I forgot to put my recipe for stew up here. It was also delicious.

Beef Stew

1 lb stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 small onions, cut into large pieces
3 carrots, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
3 small potatos, cut into bite-size pieces, unpeeled
1 package Knorr onion soup mix
salt
pepper
oregano
olive oil
1-1.5 cups water

Heat a little olive oil in a pot on medium-high. When it is very hot, add the beef. Cook until brown on all sides. Add the vegetables, salt and pepper to taste, and a palm-full of oregano. Cook until the broccoli is bright green. Turn the heat down to medium low, add the soup mix and water until everything has broth surrounding it. Don't add too much water or it will be all watery. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Serve in bowls. I had cornbread with mine.

Today I have a biology class that I don't want to go to. Later tonight I get to go ice skating. I'm excited. I haven't been ice skating in years. Enjoy the new food ideas.
