First Vacation Meal: Lazy Indian Feast

Last night Randall and I felt like having some curry.  I have discovered that bottled curry sauces are pretty good as long as you add some more flavours.

I am living in Philadelphia for the summer and my favourite grocery store here is Trader Joe's.  If you have never been in one, they are set up like markets.  The one in Suburban Square reminds me of Pete's Frootique.   Suburban Square is a neat place as well; it is the oldest "mall" in the US.  And it's within walking distance of the apartment.

Last night's bottle of sauce was a masala cooking sauce.  I added a serrano chile that I quartered, a chopped onion, a pound of turkey breast strips, some garlic and some more regular curry powder.  We had it with basmati rice and two of Trader Joe's side dishes:  spinach paneer and a chickpea one that I think was also a masala.  We had more than enough leftovers for our lunches.

I also tried a new beer.  Blue Moon's Summer Honey Wheat.  It might be Summer 2012's beer.

Nothing exciting for supper tonight.  We are hosting Quizzo at a pub called McShea's that is up the street.  Quizzo is essentially Trivia Night.  However, I will be making mushroom risotto, beef tenderloin and asparagus for tomorrow night.
