1. <p>the new header image is gary's hand holding a cardboard lightning bolt that he was gonna use on the back of the 'captain resistance' shirts he made a while back. captain resistance was me as <a href="http://veganstraightedge.com/articles/2004/11/2/1/all-hallows-eve-in-sf-2k4/">a little kid's version of a superhero on halloween</a>. he made them without telling and they were all wearing them in front of me for like 3 days before i noticed. even then someone had to explain the whole dealy. </p>

      last night, at scott and b(r)ookis' house i made some curry from a box mix. it was alright, but just alright. so i tried to salvage it by adding in some of my awesome. but it was still... meh. so today gary and i came back to my house after running some errands to eat. and i decided to redeem yellow curry in my mind, so i made some myself. this is how i did it.

      now for the record when i say 'recipe',  i'm using it very loosely. i prefer to just "wing it" in the kitchen. throwing  caution (and recipe books) to the wind. some would say that i have not lost my winging privileges. so with that said, here it is:
    </p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>block of tofu cut up into cubes. 1 inch square-ish.</li>
      <li>put that in a little oil in a skillet or wok on medium to high heat.</li>
      <li>while that's going, start getting out the next batch of ingredients:</li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
      <li>milk, soy or coconut</li>
      <li>veggies (corn, potatoes, bell peppers, onions, whatever)</li>
      <li>spices: curry powder, tumeric, spike, onion powder (or minced), garlic powder</li>
      <li>peanut butter, i prefer creamy for this, but crunchy would work too. the natural stuff is better than that shit, JIF, or whatever</li>
      <li>whatever else you want in it</li>
      <li>braggs or soy sauce</li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
      <li>oh yeh! if you want rice with this, start that first, b/c it takes a while</li>
      <li>so then you add in some of your milk almost submerging the tofu. don't worry if it looks a little then. it'll thicken up and cook down.</li>
      <li>go ahead and add your veggies now (remember potatoes will take the longest, so account for that)</li>
      <li>then add in your spices to flavour (tumeric is mainly used to make it yellow). but that's the way spices work. it's not a science, it's an art. do it a little at a time tasting after each go round. remember you can always add more, but you can't take away.</li>
      <li>then when you get the flavour you want (you are actually getting the flavour that you THINK you want).</li>
      <li>now let it simmer and cook down for a few minutes, pushing it around a little so it doesn't stick too much to the bottom of the pan.</li>
      <li>after simmering for awhile all that flavour that you decided on earlier will have been condensed down. it will pack more of a punch. </li>
      <li>and that's that.</li>
      <li> <strong>shane's bomb ass yellow curry with tofu</strong>.</li>
      <li>but you can claim it as your own and call it : &lt; yournamehere's &gt; super duper awesomeness curry type stuff.</li>
      <li>or whatever.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>enjoy...</p>
