I think of you often in the garden, because some of my earliest childhood memories are of your backyard tomato plants. I used to just love the smell, and it transports me back there when I smell them today. Thanks, Andrea!

Your mom sent me an email with your blog. Who would of thought that cute little girl would turn out to be a gardener and great cook. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I'm going to try some of your recipes--I'll let you know how they turn out. I love your blog! Your mom sent me an email with your blog.

I'm just the opposite - I love the green so much that I haven't tried the red! We'll have to swap.

My husband and I are the opposite, he likes the hotter, and my tolerance is not quite so high, although, when I go on a hot binge, the tolerance fades quickly. I love that this recipe has chard in it. I heart chard. Light coconut milk is, I think, just regular coconut milk with water added, so I always buy the regular stuff, and dilute it with an equal amount of water. What I don't use, I freeze in ye olde ice cube tray, so I can have little bits to add to saag paneer, or soup, or whatever. And I'm sure you know this, but once your cilantro goes to seed and gets bitter, just leave it alone and it will reseed all over the place. Next year, you'll have little shoots in about a 4 foot radius, and you can use up the tiny ones on the outside while letting the middle ones get bigger. Then you don't have to wait so long.

You know, I've not tried the green curry, only the red. I'm thinking maybe the green is more flavorful, not just "hot"...?? Looove Thai food, the spicier the better.
