Thai Recipe - Chicken with Coconut curry Sauce

I made this recipe last night and it was enjoyed by all - even jamie ate some of the chicken. I mentioned it on my facebook page and thought I would share it with everyone. I had cut out the recipe from some magazine, but made a number of changes last night (it looks like a Bon Appetit recipe), so I'll give you my version.

Chicken with Coconut Curry Sauce
Serves 4

2 lbs boneless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
2 tblsp. vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1" pieces
5 teasp. Thai Green Curry Paste
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 tblsp. lime juice

In large saucepan, heat 1 T oil and cook scallions. Once cooked, remove scallions and set aside.
In same pan, heat up remaining 1 T oil and cook chicken, stirring. - about 5 minutes. Once cooked, remove chicken and set aside.
Add curry paste and chicken broth to pan, stir and reduce to glaze - about 3 minutes.
Add coconut milk; cook until sauce coats spoon, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.
Add lime juice, chicken and scallions.
Reduce heat to med-low and simmer until chicken is fully cooked and it is heated.

We served this with jasmine rice.

Funny Online art activity for Kids

I have no idea where this blog is going. Is for personal reflections, is it to share things that I have made (my flickr page is better for that), is it to share about what I do at work, or is it to inspire others to get out there and create. While I'd like it to be about all of the above, it becomes a bit too cumbersome.

Well, in any case, today's post is going to be about cool online art activities for parents to share with their kids. I'll try to add on to this list every once in a while.

1) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has this first "I Spy" type activity. You are supposed to find four things in six different paintings. The cool thing is as you move the mouse, it magnifies the portion of the painting the cursor is over. After you find an object, it provides you with a fun fact. There are plenty of additional links to learn about the art in more detail and to visit other areas of the museum. This is probably best suited for older children.

2) The National Gallery of Art has a fantastic site for online art activities, NGA Kids. There are a number of educational activities that focus on specific paintings or artists. In addition, there is the NGA Kids Art Zone. Here you'll find a variety of interactive art activities to try.
I didn't try them all, but I did especially like the Orbital Jam activity and Pixelface.
