Chapter 3: 'Vermont......Curry?!'

Ringo is a character from the anime "Penguin Drum" I happened to be watching today. She's in love with her professor and wants to confess to him. How? By making him curry! She goes on and on about how the 20th of every month is curry day & that curry is best when eaten with people you love. It's her own tradition since she was little. Anyway, the episode was cute.

Then my thoughts headed toward the remnants of my pantry.
"I still have some Vermont Curry Roux!"
(And some vegetables, and milk...and a chicken breast, perfect!)

These days I do not like to cook. I usually believe that food always tastes better at places other than my own home. (My cooking sucks!) BUT tonight was an exception!

You can find several sites that will give you instructions on how to make curry, but as for me I did not have any tonight. So I had to wing it! In my cooking pot, I put butter, curry roux, milk, sliced zucchini, sliced carrot, sliced onion, cubed & peeled potatoes, a few drops of honey, and a few chunks of chicken breast.

People always question "It's strange that Japanese people love curry in the first place, but why do they also have a curry that's named after a State?!"
Answer: Vermont region is known for their apples. There are hints of apple and honey in the roux. Don't question its power!

I'm beginning to learn as a cook that cooking is not just an Art and Science, but is HEART!
When you 'get a feel' for what you are doing, have an intention, and are excited to eat, you get something awesome in return! 

And here's mine: 

And I'm going for seconds!!!!!!

Curry Connoisseur!
