Reason 73

Beef curry. Oh, how my mouth waters just typing those beautiful words. In college I had an incredible housemate name Mika. Once in awhile, when the other housemates and I were on our best behavior, she would take pity on our growling stomachs and whip up a giant pan of beef curry stew that we ladled over rice. Back then I was an even pickier eater than I am now, and Mika was gracious enough to load the curry with tender pieces of beef and leave out most of the gross veggies. Nowadays I make the same curry without any help from Mika (which is good since she lives in California) and it is almost as delicious as what she used to dish out so many years ago. My taste buds have even evolved and now I happily toss peppers, snow peas, potatoes and sprouts into the mix. Jason, I would be honored to cook up a vat of mouth-watering, spicy, rich and creamy beef curry for you at either your place or mine. I won't even judge you for going back for seconds...or sixths.
