Ukranian-style easter eggs

These eggs are decorated by applying wax and then dipping them in dye. Start by covering the areas you want to be white. Dip in the lightest color. Cover what you want to remain that color, and dip in the next color. Repeat with as many colors as you want.

Green curry

Last night we made eggplant and tofu curry served with jasmine rice. It was tasty and very easy. If you can find good canned curry paste, I recommend it. I found this curry paste at Hannaford's supermarket and mostly followed the recipe on the can.



Instructions:
Ingredients:
1 can green Thai curry paste (4 oz)
2 cans coconut milk (about 4 cups)
1 eggplant, chopped
1 pound tofu, cubed
1 bunch scallions, sliced

Take a can of green Thai curry paste and stir fry it briefly in a frying pan or wok. Add 2 cans of coconut milk (about 4 cups) and bring to a boil. Add the egpant and cook, stirring constantly, until just tender. Add the tofu and cook until heated through. Add scallions, then serve with jasmine rice.
