2.0

Green Vegetable Curry- a solid 3 stars. It was "meh," but alright and filling. Maybe it would have been better if I: (a) would have used thai eggplant, (b) had had galangal or macadamia nuts on hand, or (c) used fresh green beans instead of frozen. Major plus- I learned how to make a green curry from scratch!

Potatoes and Carrots in Coconut Curry- Another meh. It's nothing like a good, Indian curry full of meddled spices. More like vegetables in a coconut sauce. Had to cook everything longer then the recipe said because the carrots were still very crunchy.

Spiced Basmanti Rice Breakfast Cerreal- OMG YUM. I was very concerned about rice for breakfast (I know, I know, I'm a stupid American) but the slow cooker turned it into half mush, half rice and the spices were amazing!

Baby Limas with Spinach- A good one. Simple, but not bland- yummy. I unfortunately overcooked the beans (the timing in this book is all wrong, imo!) so it was almost a dip- which is awesome in and of itself! Lovely side dish in either case.

Chickpea Harira- Good stuff here. Nice & simple. I think it'd go great with crusty bread, served at the beginning of a wholesome, yummy food.

Potatoes & Peas in Red Curry Sauce- again, with the timing off this book being off (or maybe my thrift store slow cooker has weird temperatures?). But this was OK. Maybe curries just aren't great in the slow cooker. It seems to stew the spices too long.
