STRATOSPHERE VIEWED FROM MLK
L.E. apologizes for the lack of post yesterday. He was attending to his wife after she endured relatively minor surgery yesterday.
YESTERDAY'S POLL:
83% Of Superior Respondents believe that Ralph Nader most reflected the values contained within the Presidential quotations.
As L.E. has noted before, and now reiterates, One may as well vote for Wal-Mart or G.E. or Texaco, etc. as voting for either duopoly candidate amounts to the same.
Hillary sides with McCain to beat Obama to detriment of Dems?
She is using similar criticism of Obama as is McCain. Many Democrats decry this behavior as they believe it helps McCain. L.E., however, is not surprised by her exhibition of desperation in this vile race.
TODAY'S INSIGHTFUL POLL:
Yesterday the Supreme Court has cleared the way for executions to resume. It concludes that lethal injections (as used by many states including Nevada) do not amount to "cruel and unusual punishment."
Even though many states do not allow pets to be put to sleep using the same method as now used to execute humans, the Court held that "simply the possibility of pain" does not meet the cruel and unusual punishment standard of "wanton exposure to objectively intolerable risk."
The Nevada Supreme Court has not yet lifted the stay on Nevada's executions and will review the U.S. Supreme Court Decision before ruling.
Some argue that the death penalty is archaic and is merely retribution. Many civilized, developed counties have abolished the death penalty many years ago. Should the U.S.?
LAS VEGAS STYLE CELEBRATED, CHEERFUL CHICKEN CURRY for two in approximately 30 minutes or less.

NOTE:
L.E. used to make this dish using chicken thighs with a little breast meat. However, since dietary modification was necessary to reduce his intake of evil fats he now uses only breast meat in the recipe (the coconut milk is fatty). He is of the opinion that the flavor of the dish is better when using the thighs. Therefore, one may substitute say 3 thighs instead of the breast or use a combination.


INGREDIENTS:
Chicken: skinless, boneless breast or 3 skinless thighs or combination.
1 large onion chopped.
1 0r 2 cloves of garlic chopped.
2-3 tsp curry powder (according to taste).
½ tsp red pepper flakes.
Salt and pepper to taste.
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs butter
1 can of coconut milk.
1 cup long grain rice.
Optional: ½ cup of cooked sweet peas to add to cooked rice, ¼ cauliflower cut into ¼ inch slices or florets or eggplant or your choice of veg

METHOD:
Heat 11/2 Tsp oil and 1 Tsp butter over medium heat in skillet. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring (to prevent burning) for 3 minutes. Sprinkle 11/2 tsp curry powder over onion/ garlic and stir in. Continue cooking another two minutes.
Lightly coat the chicken breast (cut into ¾ inch chunks) and/or thighs with salt, pepper and curry powder. Move the onion to sides of skillet and add remainder of oil/ butter in center. Brown the chicken, turning so all sides are browned.
Add 2 cups of coconut milk and stir in so bottom of pan is cleaned of “bits.” Cover and simmer on low heat for approx. 15-20 minutes, adding cauliflower if used at t6he 10 minute mark (or until meat on thighs falls off). Add remaining coconut milk or simmer with lid off to obtain proper sauce consistency. Adjust with pepper flakes, hot sauce, more curry powder to your taste during last five minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile cook the rice (see previous recipes or instructions on rice packet). Mix the cooked peas into the rice and plate. Serve the curry over the rice and maybe add a side of plain yogurt with chopped cucumber to cool one’s palate.
