I digress! Back in my fat & fresh single days, THE BROTHA COULD, uh, uh, COOK ME SOME CURRY! LOL

Back in my hard & humbled wifely days, funny thing, I didn’t cook, still! But, well, Mom and Wife, prepared, I always could tell you where in the DMV to go for...whatever!

Oh, yes we lived in restaurants (it’s a DMV thing) and takeout was an everyday, well frankly, a necessity, at least for me! Momma worked hard for HER MONEY back then! There just ain’t no way, I could come home after work AND COOK, too! But, Grannie saved us, when she came to live with us!

AND NOW, we’ll, my good-paying job is gone (economy), My baby girl is gone (school), my husband, gone (moved on), my libido, gone! So, it’s been a long while since I’ve had some good, uh, uh, curry! LOL

Oh, but let me tell you what I do have: My own time, my peace of mind, my relative health, my commitment TO SELF, my afternoon naps, oh, you don’t understand, I mean, RESTED & RELAXED, my creativity and, and, and THANK THE LORD, I still have My Grannie! Oh, oh, and did I mention, I COOK...NOW! And one day, I mean to finish My Book! I mean, WOW!

Oh, oh, so, anyway, I just love me some curry over chicken, lamb, vegetables, tofu, you name it! Ain’t never met a curry, I didn’t like! But one fond memory I know my family shares was the way this particular Chinese Restaurant back in the day would prepare for us by special request, Curry Chicken...prepared General Tsao’s style, meaning, deep-fried (in cornstarch), but with curry sauce instead of Tsao’s sauce! IT WAS AND STILL IS OUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Been a long, long time since!

HospiTalent Mariby Corpening Presents CRISPY CURRY CHICKEN (General Tsao’s style) with scratch-made, otherwise authentic, Caribbean Curry Sauce with fresh herbs and spices, based on a recipe from www.CaribbeanPot.com!

Daggon it, and not until I sat back to look at the images, did I realize, I forgot the chick peas! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom
