The Massaman Curry!

This may not look exciting to you - fair enough! - but here is just one of the parts of the Massaman Curry that son Tom is cooking today from scratch.

Yes, from scratch! No commercial pastes for him! He's been roasting spices, soaking tamarind and pounding seeds and lemongrass all afternoon.

The smell as I type is sensational! Oh, isn't it wonderful when someone else cooks!
