    There are a million recipes for curry, but I use a couple (besides the one above) for generic curry.

     

    This one's from an Indian friend, and you should probably have all of the spices (with the exception of garam masala, which can be omitted) in your spice cabinet:

     

    Curry

    1 Tbsp whole cumin seeds
    ½ tsp turmeric

    ½ tsp chili powder
    ½ tsp cumin
    ½ tsp coriander ** I still have this and it is almost full**
    ½ tsp Thai chili powder (to taste)
    Salt (to taste)
    Pinch of garam masala
    2 large garlic cloves
    Equal amounts ginger to garlic
    ½ cup diced onions
    1 ½ lbs beef, pork, goat or chicken, cut into small dice
    2 small tomatoes, chopped
    2 cups water
    1-2 cups coconut milk

     

     

     

    This looks close to what I made (over ten years ago) It was from the Food Network I think

     

    The red is what I did not have on hand

    I have never tried one of those services.  My problem is I like to take a recipe and try it as written the first time, but then possibly tweak it after that.  Or, I like to be sitting in my office in the afternoon, think about what I want for supper, google a recipe and make it that night.  

     

    I have never tried them either.  One recipe had me buy all these pricey spices that I used just a little of for the recipe.  When I listed them to the home ec teacher (FACS now) she said "Oh you made home made curry powder" Crap - that would have been so much cheaper.

     

    Living alone I google recipes Saturday to make on Sunday that I eat for most of the rest of the week

    This looks like something I would definitely want to try.  My frustration with recipes like this is that they use ingredients that I probably won't ever use again.  So, I buy a jar of shrimp paste, use 1 tablespoon and throw the rest out.

     

    That is the only good thing (in my opinion) about Blue Apron and the like - you get just enough of the not used a lot ingredients to make the recipe

    I know, that's more than 5 but just the movies I know I've seen a buttload of times, off the top of my head. Did not include the numerous Disney movies we watched repeatedly with the kids.

     

    Watched by your own free will and forced to have in the background by a 4 year old ARE two different things.  Some VHS about dinosaurs (not Bigfoot(?)) was on CONTINUOUSLY 12 HOURS PER DAY FOR 6 MONTHS would have to be #1 for me!!

     

    Other wise:

    Christmas Story (yet never from beginning to end)

    Tora! Tora! Tora!

    Midway

    Top Gun

    Star Wars Episode IV

    Agree - there were these 'political' generals who had very little knowledge of how to lead strategically.  Petty jealousy between generals, some were overly cautious (scared to fight I think) - so many blown opportunities of not 'finishing' off the victory and allowing the southern armies to escape.  Good thing Grant had Sherman, Sheridan, & McPherson and a couple of others.

     

    You sure you are not reading a list of Nebraska counties?

     

     

     

     

     

    And yes I know why the counties were named such.

    I think the line is drawn if you are yourself, but maybe put yourself in a position to be more visible, or if you have an "out of body experience" and behave like someone that you're not.  

     

    It's one thing to go outside your comfort zone to take part in conversations or be somewhere you wouldn't necessarily choose to be - it's another to say things that you don't feel or believe to further your career.  

     

    To me your example sounds like you were professional, and it just wasn't what you'd typically feel comfortable doing.  If you think making small talk with a colleague on your way to the car is smoozing then man, I can't imagine how you'd feel watching a salesperson in action :-)

    It's the same number of weeks because the B1G network shows non-conference games as well.

     

     

    But they can play twice as many non-conference games as conference games in any given week. So that means the conference games must be worth more than double the non-conference games. I mean, the total says the B1G is making more money, but I don't see how it's due to 8 vs 9 conference games.

     

    I think it has to do with the total number of home games.  The more OOC away games that are not broadcast on the Big Ten Network, the less money that is brought in.
