My elderly neighbor had several appointments today, so I was pretty busy driving her around town for the most part. I brought along a sizable container of leftover Tuscan soup to our final trip (fingers crossed it’s not too salty or spicy for her, but she can always dilute it to her liking), as well as a slab of the coffee cake my PIC made.
Went to the Goodwill to replace the lid that broke yesterday, and grabbed not one, but TWO lids…. neither of which fit 
Might be time to splurge on a new pot
It was a little “toastier” today, but arctic temps will return starting tomorrow. To warm our weary, old bones I made a fiery Thai red curry with BTS (not the K-pop group, sillies — black tiger shrimp 
), peas & yellow pepper. I added extra garlic, lemongrass, ginger & bird peppers (natch) to a can of maesri, which I don’t find particularly spicy, and used 1.5 cans of coconut milk to 1 can of fish stock. Lime leaves & a splash of lime juice & fish sauce to make it pop at the end, topped with cilantro & Thai basil over rice. Despite all the bells and whistles, we both thought it was lacking depth 
Some of the now super-harlicky smashed cukes as an app / side 
And this (or some of it) for dessert later
