Backbacons Thai Jungle Curry

1 tbs sunflower oil
2 roughly chopped onions
2 lemongrass stalks chopped and ground in a mortar or wooden bowl
4 thai chillies seeded and finely chopped
1 tbs of finely chopped ginger root
3 carrots peeled and roughly chopped
1/3 lbs of oriental long beans cut in half
grated rind of 1 lime
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tbs rice vinegar
1 tsp crushed peppercorns
1 tbs of sugar
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 4 oz can of bamboo shoots
4 oz spinach roughly chopped
2/3 cup of coconut milk
fresh chopped cilantro for a garnish at the end

Heat a wok or a non stick pan to a very high heat and add the oil. one oil is hot add the onions, lemongrass, chillies, ginger, carrots and beans and stir fry on high for 2 mins. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorns, sugar, turmeric, bamboo shoots and spinach, stir well for about a minute. Now add the coconut milk and simmer for about ten minutes, place on a platter, garnish with the cilantro, then serve while hot. This is a spicy one folks so you may want to half the chillies in the recipe then add more spice as desired. Enjoy...

Serve on Jasmine rice.

Larry,

I understand your post of dangerous seafood options.

Your post did not cause any problems and I appreciate your comment.

Though I may know of such things, your post was on topic and relevant.

And, may I ask,

How do you know of such things?

Are you a "dare devil?"

My Best,

Scott

Scott, lived a life of derring-do, which now seems a lifetime ago. these days it's more like derring-don't.

Backbacons Thai Marinated Sea Trout Or Salmon

6 5 oz fish steaks
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 thai chilli chopped fine
3 tbs thai basil, chopped fine
1 tbs sugar
3 limes
1 3/4 cups of coconut milk
1 tbs thai fish sauce
sunflower oil

place the fish steaks in a shallow pan. Grind up the garlic, chilli pepper, basil and sugar until it becomes a paste. Grate in one of the limes rind and add it's juice to the paste then the coconut milk. Stir the mixture and cover the fish with it, cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Remove the fish from the pan and drain while keeping the marinade to the side. Now add the thai fish sauce to the marinade and stir. Place the fish on a medium hot grill that has been brushed with the sunflower oil and grill on each side for 4 minutes. While the fish is on the grill, heat the marinade in a pan until it comes to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes while stirring. Place the cooked fish steaks on a platter and serve the sauce on the side or pour it over the fish. Use the remaining 2 limes as a garnish cut into wedges.

Friend,

I like the cut of your jib, son.

Perhaps there lies a place for you, amongst this thread, within a "Family,"
that you may feel worthy of.



"What skills have ye, me fine lad, and what makes ye think you can sail with this ship?"

Ah, crap.
I'd never make it as a pirate.
I'd get seasick.
(And that, Kids, is another story for later.....)

Just posted this tune in my "Camping" Thread.


The girl in the video is Ellen Foley, of "Night Court" fame.

Such a great song.

Memories....

Ahem,

How many remember this when it first came out?

Yes, I have the album.....


"What? study or go to sleep?"

Advice taken under advisement.

"Gee, Mr. Peabody, do you really think your
'Way-Back' machine will work?"

"Absolutely, Sherman, my Boy. All I have to do is
embrace the power of technology,
apply a bit of ingenuity,
and, Voile!
Scott naked while bathing!"



"Ah, damn! What a buzz harsh!"

Best,

Scott​

 

[AU24K]

"OK. I've seen crap and this is crap.
I don't want to see any more."

"Oh LOOK!
Don't miss what comes next!"

"What? More crap?

"Yo, Dude, light(en) up.
Here, hold this for a minute....."

"Oh. I get it...."

"What you bet the Kid's got that album, too?"



Best,

[AU24K]

A more recent Styx Tune.
I saw them in concert for their new album, Summer of I'm guessing here, 1983.
Album was "Kilroy Was Here"

FLASH!

Crap!

There went all of Scott's memory cells.
We're talkin' blue screen here.

"We're not sure how deep the damage is....he is,
after all, an "old person."
We're holding out hope that it was merely a "brain-fart."

"Scott's so ICD...."

"In the wait, please enjoy the very song he blew up his brain
trying to remember specific dates......"



Scott's Best

My friends,

It is with heavy heart that I take my leave. At this point in my life I can no longer continue on this path. I am sure that most of you understand, "Something has got to give." If something does not give then something has to break. The stress of what I do has overwhelmed me. I once looked to TNet as a release and found comfort in it. I can no longer do so, my core beliefs would be compromised if I continued to turn the other cheek. I choose not to fight. Several of you have my email. Diesel and Bill can put me in touch within hours of anybody who needs my help. Please do not hesitate to call on me, you will be in my thoughts. Until another time...God Bless.

Crispin

Ps. Worldtalker, thank you for everything that you have given to me in your chosen words. You will never know the effect you have had on me or others I have reached.

"I can no longer do so, my core beliefs would be compromised if I continued to turn the other cheek."

...and this is why I am not just moving along as though everything is fine and dandy. These words have sat with me since posted last week.

Like I said before, I agree that the original intent of this thread has morphed from what it started out as. I ask that others do not forget that. Please, be friendly, have fun, let this be your safe haven. But do not compromise your core beliefs. If you see something that is "not right", it is not always good to turn the other cheek. There is nothing wrong with standing up for your beliefs and saying something. I am not advocating that anyone be combative or disrespectful - but to say nothing is doing yourself a disservice. If we stand for nothing and hold it all in, than a small part of you dies.

Please forgive me in advance, friends, as I know I will catch a lot of flack for posting this. Thanks for reading and dont forget that Crispin is more than just a good friend and laugh buddy. He is a thinker, a fighter, and a motivator.

I AGREE Jersey! !!! I won't go looking for issues, but certainly if they present themselves I will deal with them.
I do stay away from , what I call unhealthy threads...I have no control over others only where I place myself....

Just before he left, Crispin had stated that he was only posting in threads where his friends were posting. This goes along with his theory of not compromising his beliefs. But he did not go out intentionally looking for a fight, as you are saying - because it was causing him too much personal anguish.
