Not Much...

...going on in Sun Bear's kitchen, lately. I've been busy with a lot of other things, and haven't had much time for the cutting board and food processor, spice mill and skillet.

We've been eating a lot of breakfast burritos (bean, egg & cheese or bacon, egg & cheese), sandwiches, and the like...simple food. I did break down last night and make a Burmese curry of pork & pineapple, along with akyaw (a simple stir-fry of...in this case...green beans, onions, garlic a little turmeric, and sesame oil), and lots of rice. The curry was standard Burmese fare...browned cubes of pork cooked 'til tender in a puree of onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric (fresh...yum!), and (mostly mild) chilies. I tweaked it with a couple of seasonings, added some petite diced tomatoes, and in the last ten minutes of cooking, half of a fresh pineapple I'd cut up. Good, good food...really savory and filling, but with the occasional burst of sweetness from the fruit. I'll be making it again.
