NAT NESTS: VEGETARIAN COCONUT CURRY

now that it is fall, my kitchen has started to look at me funny. 

last night we had a few friends over for homemade pizza. one of our friends, who is living in a loft studio in a cute little old brownstone in a way radder neighborhood than ours, took one step into my kitchen and said "i am getting vertigo from all the space in here! wait! is vertigo the opposite of claustrophobia?"  

so now my kitchen is getting all these ideas. 

so i cracked open a few cans of coconut milk for a big old pot of curry. and then i figured i should share the recipe, since my nat nests tag has also been giving me the wonk-eye lately. 

we like our curry really, really chunky.

sautee minced garlic and a few tablespoons of olive oil in a big old pot.

add half a yellow onion.

chop your vegetables. we like carrots, baby potatoes, and celery, 

four of each or so.

cook vegetables in pot until softened, stirring occasionally.

season with salt, pepper, and as much yellow curry powder as you can stand.

i don't actually have any idea how much i usually use. 

add two cans of coconut milk (we like lite coconut milk, let's not get crazy here), 

a cup or so of frozen peas, and some seasoned, grilled extra firm tofu, if tofu is your bag of chips.

serve to your toddler with brown rice and a slice of ham.

your husband won't be home from work for, like, three more hours.

 huck-approved!
