I mentioned earlier that I love Thai food, but that I’ve never been able to make anything that remotely satisfied my cravings for it from scratch.
I still can’t make it from scratch, but I do finally have a lovely sampling of CurrySimple Thai Curries sitting here to play with.
I’m going to be completely honest. The first writeup of this product that I did was sponsored. I’m not going to…

I just got word from the lovely and completely charming Sandi over at Whistlestop Cafe Cooking about a drive to send rubber ducks to Afghanistan, to raise the morale of our troops and remind them to “be the duck, not the goose.” (In reference to the childhood game of duck, duck goose)
