Procrastination.

OK, so my main goal for today is to procrastinate as much as possible. I have psych homework to do which I reallllly don't want to do. It's a horrid assignment. The likes of which no one should ever have to endure. Ugh.

So far I have been mildly succesful at this procrastinating thing. I have, already today, gone to Toy's R Us, The Dollar Tree, the grocery store, did 3 loads of laundry, did the dishes, fed my child and myself AND picked up the living room that is temporarily a dumping ground for any and every toy God ever made.

Now? I am sitting here writing to you all. I really do not have anything profound to say, just looking for excuses to stay away from mental health. That's all.

Speaking of mental health, this morning I spoke to my scarves. Yes, out loud. To those inanimate objects that you put around your neck. I love my scarves and I am so excited that it is now time to bring them out and wear them in all of their glory:

I brought them out of their box in the closet and said "Come out pretty girls! I've missed you."

Moving on to stories of other inanimate objects.

I made a really yummy recipe last night that I want to share with you. My mom gave me this recipe after she made this for me one time and I almost fell out of my chair. It is that good! And it is SO easy. If you don't like Thai...move along little doggie, because this is Thai all the way.

Red Curry Chicken (Or that's what we call it! And it's not creepy curry...it's the yummy kind.)

2 chicken breasts (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
1 or 2 cups misc veggies (I used broccoli, onions and green peppers. Anything you want really. She also used those rediculously cute miniature corn things that get thrown into chinese food. Adorbs.)
2 tblsp red curry paste
2 tblsp sugar
14 oz. coconut milk (Not the low fat kind. And no, this dosent taste like the smell of suntan lotion.)
3 or 4 cups of day old rice (Or 3 day old in my case. Ha! ;)  Seriously though...make the rice a day before or use that leftover stuff from your chinese take out box. It's gotta be like hard-ish.)
salt to taste
rep pepper flakes (Optional. Do it though. You won't regret it.)

Cook the chicken in vegetable oil until done. Add the veggies (parboil anything like broccoli, cauliflower or those adorable corn things) and saute with the chicken until slightly tender (leave some crunch, people). Add the sugar and a good amount of salt. Stir and then add the coconut milk and red curry paste. Mix the pretty pinkish, orangey goodness well. Let that bubble for a few minutes on medium-high heat. Add the old rice and stir until combined. At this point you can add the pepper flakes and more salt to taste, if needed. Let it reduce a bit and enjoy! Here's mine from last night:

Note the orangey goodness.

Now that I have successfuly wasted another 14 1/2 minutes...I guess I will go do the dreaded assignments.

Have a great rest of the day!
