I occasionally take barre classes, and there is one particular instructor that ends each class by saying, "make healthy food choices, don't ruin all of this hard work!" Every time she says it my face turns red because I'm afraid it's obvious how much I've been thinking about food the entire time I was tucking and burning. And not exactly "healthy" food. I can't help it! I was born this way! I've said it before but it's like an obese German man from olden times sits in my brain and directs my thoughts towards brownies and burritos and bacon. Thankfully, I'm able to control this man (most of the time), but it doesn't quiet exactly him. We should probably name him, don't you think? Gus?
So the other day, I wanted to make something in the crock pot with brisket or short ribs and wine and super rich flavors but then I heard my instructor's voice in my head. It's like she's on one shoulder and Gus in on the other. (I really hope she doesn't read this.) Instead I made this Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry that was delicious and still tasted like comfort food! And don't worry, Gus, I WILL be making something with short ribs later in the week...
