Yesterday I posted a recipe I used for 'whatever you have in your kitchen' Curry and I had a lot of leftovers but the problem I was having was I wanted something super simple to digest and I was being lazy and didn't want to be a slob and get the huge broccoli chunks all over me. So I decided to put it in my blender and pulse and this was the outcome. I know it probably doesn't look pretty to some people but it sure was yummy! I added a little bit more smoked paprika and turmeric powder! Yummers!
I figured I would also take this time to do a bit of catching up on what I have been watching, listening to, reading, writing, etc...
What I'm Watching...
Or...should I say...what I watched? Yup! I binged watched it and I'm NOT sorry! I can't wait for season 3
As for music I always have an eclectic mix. Lately, it's been flashing back to Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty while squeezing in some 90's Billy Joel and Guns N Roses. Not to mention some random show tunes now and again! Oh yeah...and some Reggae to lift my mood!
As far as what I'm reading and writing...well...
I write commercials for a living (among other things) so I'm always writing something. But lately, I have gotten back into writing short poems. I haven't done this in many years.
As for reading, I'm not like most people...I don't ready books cover to cover. I read collections of poetry, magazines, cookbooks, and such.
I have so many eBooks that I have been thumbing thru that there are too many to remember but some of them off the top of my head are...

What about you!?
Loved reading about what you've been enjoying lately! The curry looks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm gearing up for winter...trying not to get all depressed LOL. NOT my favorite time of year that is for sure!
DeleteLooks like a delicious thick curry soup to me! I still need to watch Stranger Things season 2!!
ReplyDeleteI have even more leftovers for tonight's dinner! I can't wait! You will LOVE the 2nd season! Let me know when you watch it!
DeleteHi Jennifer! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I have also added you to my reading list. :) Nice to find a new lovely blog. That curry looks so comforting, and I'm also a Stranger Things fan. I've saved the 2 last episodes for the weekend, so haven't fully binged it yet. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link-back and visit and comment! Thanks for your feedback on the curry, too! I need to get to the store and get cooking again SOON!
DeleteHi Jennifer, thanks for popping over to my blog and commenting, I'm always delighted to meet new readers! My daughter is watching Stranger Things, maybe I should give it a try too! Curry is always hard to beat, I like the idea of blending - who needs to chew?!
ReplyDeleteHi! I like that...Who Needs To Chew...lol! Let me know if you start watching Stranger Things! It's great with lots of 80's throwback references!
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog! The curry looks delicious as a creamy soup! In this cool weather, I bet it hit the spot!
ReplyDeleteYes it was very stew or soup like :) Sure did hit the spot that is for sure!
Deleteso interesting to see what you are reading. I devour books and usually read long novels :)
ReplyDeleteMy attention span can't handle a full novel LOL - Wish I could tho!
DeleteI love your solution with the curry - I do that sort of thing sometimes when I don't want the leftovers yet again but I am not going throw them out. Reincarnated leftovers are the best! I haven't watched stranger things but I like the electic nature of your music and reading/writing - writing both commercials and poetry really takes you from the sublime to the ridiculous - and I am interested you don't read books cover to cover - I gave up on a novel recently and it really upset me not to get to the end but I just had had enough and not the energy to continue as I usually do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback on the leftovers! I also enjoyed your thoughts on the writing. As for the reading - I guess I have always had that problem where I can't sit down and read a novel cover to cover because of my attention span (or lack there of) and my dyslexia. I guess I could elaborate on that in a blog post someday. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting again! So soory it took me so long to find your site again!
DeleteLove anything curry and the soup looks great, I need to try blending cooked beans into a curry sauce - yum! Yes on Stranger Things, we're already watched season 2 and will probably watch both season 1 and 2 again before season 3 comes out.
ReplyDeleteI recently tried to make a Lima Bean Soup and use half of the beans for the base. It needs some work but that was totally MY fault LOL. I think it's doable...I just have to do some experimenting. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lima Beans but I don't eat as much of them as I want to these day...sigh. I agree! I will prob re-watch all of the Stranger Things episodes, too! Great show!
DeleteI binged on Stranger Things last week too and yeph, no regrets. I loved it and have recommended it to others who have only started watching the first series
ReplyDeleteI remember when the first season came out...I watched it myself and then 2 days later told my husband about it and watched it again with him. I watched the whole season TWICE in a week! lol
DeleteOmg yay for Stranger Things!!! Just finished the second season last weekend- I'm going to have to go back and re-watch all of them LOL.
ReplyDeleteI got your message on my blog hun, would love to connect too! And by the looks of your list on your side bar, we do have some mutual blogging buddies!
I'm LOVING that a slew of our blogging buddies are also fans of Stranger Things!!! I think I am going to re-watch them again soon, too! Thanks for letting me link to you! Can't wait to see your future posts!
DeleteYour blended leftover curry sounds delicious! That's so cool that you write poetry! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! They were filling and tasty if I do say so myself.
DeleteI love the idea of blending the leftover curry, would be such a simple and comforting meal!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched any Stranger Things. I am not very brave and I am afraid it will be too scary for me and I hate having nightmares!!
I did grab some more coconut milk (of the canned variety) and I already want to make some more Indian dishes! I don't think Stranger Things was that scary. It was unusual and intriguing. PLUS it had LOTS of early 80s pop culture references!
DeleteWriting commercials for a living? wow not sure what to say there:=) on tv or mags etc? I've never binge watched - i guess cos we don't have Netflix or any of those things. cheers S
