I made curry yesterday, but that only required about a fourth cup of my can of coconut milk and I now have excess curry sauce that I don't want to throw away, but don't know what to do with. I thought about infusing the coconut milk into my grandmother's recipie for mashed potatoes, for which I have all the necessary ingredients and equipment, you know, just using it instead of regular milk, or perhaps in combination with.

I think the tastes will work together. There's still the matter of the curry sauce- I can do with with tofu, meat or vegetables and serve it on top of the mashed potatoes. I could do a meat and vegetable combination- my instincts toss out the notion of shrimp or pork with the potatoes, but chunks of steak or lamb might do. Cook the meat simply, put it on a bed of potatoes, drizzle the curry sauce all over- it seems like it's be good. Lamb will go better than steak, I think- maybe with some nice peas...

But I can't afford lamb right now. If I bought a bit of cornstarch, I could make pudding with the coconut milk (I just don't want anything to go to waste!), but the recipie in Joy of cooking was intended for a much bigger portion, sho I'd have to reduce everything. It'd get complicated. And then I'd still have to get rid of the curry mix somehow- the only meat I have right now is ground beef. Damn, I wish Joy of Cooking came with an ingredient specific index, to help me get rid of this stuff.

I wonder if the 'homestyle thai style' idea is all botched. I need a second oppinion. Where's Vohs?
