Thai Tuesday-Masman Curry and Lots of Prayers

Please, if you are reading this, stop and say and prayer for the Thai government and the military. Today, the Thai people woke to the military chief declaring martial law across the country.  There has been ongoing political unrest in Thailand for over six months now as the opposing parties argue over who should be prime minister.  I don't pretend to understand all that is going on in Thailand, but I am praying for peaceful resolution, and soon.

If you want to read more about what is going on in Thailand, you can click here. It is definitely discouraging to read of the ongoing unrest in Thailand.  We are told that adoptions are still being processed, but it certainly seems to have slowed things down. We are praying that many first approvals are granted tonight (Wednesday morning in Thailand) at the board meeting.

Well, it wouldn't be Tuesday around here if we didn't have a little Thai food.  I have to say, I took a shortcut tonight and used a packaged curry. Not my favorite, but it worked!

First, I started with these two ingredients. 

Next, I diced up some chicken and potatoes.

 

After cooking the chicken in the sauce, I added the potatoes and some peanuts and that was it.  Masman Curry. 

Not nearly as good as the curry you can get in Thailand, but it was edible!
