Thick and creamy carrot chicken curry that goes perfectly over a bowl of roasted vegetables!
Another Patriot’s Super Bowl weekend has come and gone. Thankfully that ended well, or I’d have trouble being productive today. I’d be forced into a deep state of New Englander depression. I’m having enough trouble existing as it is, because I whacked my head super hard on Saturday and completely messed myself up. I’ve been tired and been struggling to focus since then. I’m just sitting here with a bag of frozen vegetables on my head, hoping my brain isn’t permanently compromised.
In other news, I ordered a new camera and I am SO EXCITED GUYS. I’m officially making the jump from Nikon to Canon, and I’m so ready. I’m just not loving the colors in Nikon, and I’ve read much better things about the Canon sensors in general. So yeah, my photo game is about to get real.
Ok, not gonna lie. My head hurts too badly to keep looking at this screen. I love you, but we’ll have to catch up when my head isn’t acting dramatically. I swear it’s like it’s trying out to be on Glee or something.
