Curry (in a Hurry)

Last week I found a tub of mussaman curry paste in my freezer and decided I'd try and make my favorite dish, called mussaman curry.

I learned two things:

1. Cooking curry is hard.
2. Sometimes your food boils out of the pot and splashes everywhere.
   

Regardless, my non-asian friends really liked it, but they haven't had the curry I've had (AKA the best)

6 Pack

Every year, my new years resolution is to get a 6-pack. Yesterday, my friends and I hiked Camelback Mountain and I was reminded why I never had one to begin with. Hiking is hard!

Despite how happy I look, I am actually very, very angry at being dragged all the way up a mountain

According to a google search, it's a 3.5 mile hike, which is hard enough for me without all of climbing, jumping, and "booty scooting" I had to do just to keep up. And by keep up, I mean, catch up after everyone else was already way ahead and enjoying the view waiting for me to get there. In hindsight it was really fun, but about halfway up the mountain I was about ready to kill someone. The problem with that was, they were all too far ahead for me to reach. Once the soreness wears off (surprisingly my legs are doing OK; it's my back and shoulders that are dead!) and the emotional scarring fades, I want to go try it again. I probably won't bring friends though, so I can go as slow as I want and no one can judge :)
