Good Food and Good Words

Man I am slacking on my blog posting this semester!  I just withdrew from a class though so my schedule is going to be a lot less busy which means more time for blogging!  Last night I decided to try my hand at some Thai food and I made coconut shrimp curry with zucchini.  Although it doesn't look like it in the picture, it turned out pretty delicious!
Here is how it did it:

1.) Saute some onions in a skillet with about a tablespoon of oil.
2.) Thinly slice 1 zucchini and add to the skillet with 1 teaspoon of ginger and continue to saute
3.) Pour in 1 can of coconut milk and let boil
4.) Add the shrimp (I used mini shrimp that were precooked and deveined with their tails cut off) and 1tsp of each salt and pepper
5.)  Add the curry!  I used i block (1/5 of the packet) of mild Golden Star brand curry (they just had it in the Asian section of Walmart)
6.) After the curry dissolves continue to simmer until it thickens.  I added some cornstarch to help the process along.

Serve on noodles or rice and enjoy!

And now for some good words.  Today I was on campus for my evening class and I came upon this sticker in one of the bathrooms.

It made me smile so I hope it makes you smile too :)
