Ah! That makes sense. I’ll have to look her book up (my tomatoes just got clobbered by yet another (!) week of rain). And cheap is good this season.

I’ll track down some of the Thai Kitchen. I’ve tried their green curry paste in the distant past but am on a red curry kick for the last month or so (thank you, Cha Da Thai).

Thanks!

I used Thai Kitchen brand and liked it. My buddy uses their red curry and swears by it. I liked the green curry a lot, but I definitely want to learn to make my own. When I do, I’ll blog about it, so check back!

As for the Nude part, Shawna has a book called Nude Gardening and though she appears nude on the cover, in all her videos she’s fully clothed. The “nude” part refers to the fact she uses no chemicals and nothing artifical when she grows.

Eco-Cheap refers to the fact that all recipes in this series can be done for $11.50 or less for a family of four.

Thanks for reading!

Oh, I love curry – will have to give this one a spin.

Do you have a good source for curry paste? I used to get the thai-curry-in-the-green-package when I lived in BC, but I’m not finding it here in TN, and since I hadn’t noted the real name, asking for thai-curry-in-the-green-package is kind of vague.

I haven’t read back very far into your blog yet, so apologies if this is answered: Um, “Nude and Eco-cheap cooking”…?
