Short version, it was really good! Sadly, there is a long version, lol.

Initially I bought Thai red curry paste and read the directions on the jar. Sounded doable. Then I made a second trip to the store and saw green curry paste and decided to buy that as well, even though I thought I would like the red better. I liked the recipe on the green paste jar so I decided to follow that recipe but using the red paste.

It smelled really good but fishy. So I tasted it. It tasted fishy. I was in denial because the green recipe said to add fish sauce and I knew I could just leave it out. So it didn't occur to me that the red would have fish sauce in it. Well, I went to check the ingredients and low and behold, fish sauce. :( That's when I decided to try again with the green, even though I was sure I wouldn't like it. But It was very good!

So, I'm going to give the fish curry dish to my son in law. I just can't believe I didn't read the ingredients first. But I'm glad I now know how to make a yummy vegetable curry dish. I even added red lentils. Yay me!

Last night I had some brown rice pasta with sauteed mushrooms, shredded brussels sprouts and eggplant. I added some garlic hummus and a slice of daiya cheddar to make a creamy sauce.
 
I had pizza Margherita. I made a ww and soya flour dough with chia seeds, wheatgerm, linseed and sunflower seeds. I added two different kinds of vegan cheddar cheese and passata for the topping together with origin, Greek black olives and
a drizzle of eve.

An orange for dessert.

Was it the Thai Kitchen brand? I love their green curry paste, but I remember seeing fish sauce listed in the ingredients of their red paste. I used to make a great chicken curry with the green paste, almond milk, and gardein chicken strips , but I haven't made it in forever since I ran out of curry paste. Now I want some green curry!

Tonight I made spicy tofu scramble with lots of veggies and pita bread.

I'm making one of my favourite meals ; roast stuffed peppers made with a stuffing made with soya mince and too many other ingredients to list. Served with guacamole made with fresh lime juice and wilted spinach with garlic.
 
Last night's leftovers. The peppers tasted much better today.

I'm going to make some soft yogurt raspberry ice cream for later on.
 
I had sichaun pepper crusted seitan cut into slices and served with deglazed pan juices. I added a knob of vegan butter and balsamic vinegar. Served with cauliflower mash with a drizzle of eve and Cornish sea salt.
