I made curry for the first time today! as usual, I just followed a recipe, but this one was just on the back of the box of curry sauce mix. it contains onions, potatoes, carrots, and chicken. it took me a lot longer than it probably should have because I did a lot of things I'd never done before. chopping onions was new for me, but then again, so was buying onions - I had to ask my girlfriend what a "normal" onion was when I was shopping. it burned like hell and I shed a lot of tears. and I swear I can still smell them even hours later. chopping potatoes was also new for me, but the smell made me wish I had mashed potatoes - maybe I'll try making those some time.

I was really worried I would mess something up, but overall, this turned out really delicious! I ended up finishing off my entire plate in about 10 minutes, which is extremely fast for me; I'm usually a very slow eater. I do have to say, I wish it had any spice in it at all. I got the mildest flavor because I know I handle spice badly, but I think next time I'll have to get a spicier kind and then work my way up from there. I think next time, I also want to try experimenting a little more by adding more types of vegetables.

overall though, I'm happy that I've taken the first step in another new recipe. sure it took me a few hours, but at least I have enough leftovers to last me for days ^^
