I love the cooking techniques of the indian curry (fresh peppers and dry spices) but the flavors aren't great. SO I mixed it. This recipe was invented in Nebraska. So it is perfect if you live in an area where ethnic foods are difficult to find. Walmart has all the ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Jenn's Chicken Curry</span></b><br />
1.5 lb boneless chicken (Tyson tenderloins are my favorite)<br />Cooked white rice<br />Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste, 4 oz <br />one green pepper<br />2 spoons full of minced garlic <br />10 dashes of onion powder<br />curry powder - to taste (I add 1/4 of a tsp)<br />
In a food processor or blender: add green pepper, garlic, curry paste, and powders. Add 1 jar of water from the curry paste jar. Blend until smooth. <br />
Cook rice. Defrost chicken and cook on high in a skillet with a little oil. Once it starts to turn golden, I use scissors to cut it into bite sizes. Continue until all pink is gone. Turn the stove down to medium and pour in curry sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes or so until the sauce is no longer bright green.<br />
<br />
Serve over rice.<br />
<br />
Things I have learned: Using raw onions create a sweet aftertaste. Garlic powder diminishes the heat. Leaving out the extra curry powder isn't "warm" enough. Green peppers with four bumps on the bottom are better for curry. Three bump peppers are sweeter. This is the best curry paste for this recipe:<br />

<br />
<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Escape</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The hallway is larger than I am
comfortable with. Taller. Wider. But it is the one I need. So far, I
have been able to avoid any metal detectors; Now there is a line of
them to my left. I hear hundreds of workers assembling weapons behind
doors on the left side. Thankfully, it isn't those doors I need. On
the right side of the hall are two unmarked doors. One with
fingerprints and wear lower than the other. I chose that one.
Success. Every inch of wall space is filled with lockers or toilet
stalls. I dash to the first locker. No clothing. No jacket. Just a
stale lunch and miscellaneous sundries. All of the lockers. Small.
No clothes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I am unable to blend in. It is 8
degrees outside! How are they able to stand these temperatures?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The bell. I am not where I am supposed
to be. My genetics scream at me and pull me into compliance. My very
DNA beg me not to defy my handlers.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Breathe deeply. I run for a toilet
stall.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jackpot! The huge winter jackets don't
fit in the lockers and are hanging on the hooks in the stalls. I find
the right one. Big, bulky, military issue from a war long ago. It
will hide my towering frame. After donning my disguise I turn and
realize I am head and shoulders taller than the stalls. People are
filing in. The “guards” come in first. They look small, though
confident in their pressed uniforms. I crouch and lock the stall.
Women come pouring in from the assembly line. Weary, they keep
coming. Each one goes to her chosen stall and places her hand over
and grabs her coat. There are 4 coats crammed on this hook, I better
leave now. I bend over and exit trying to look as small as possible.
Maybe I should have chosen the men's locker room? As the mass of
women push in I get pushed to the back toward the lesser used stalls.
I feel more comfortable here. The outer doors are opened by the
guards. The weary all hurry out with renewed energy and a blast of
cold air. Many are taking down their hair. I chose to do so also. I
must blend in. I stay low. Curl my shoulders in. I try to look as
tired as they do. They are looking at the ground. I will too.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Outside. Fences on all sides. Even
above us. We pass through the final gate. Then they dash. All of the
men and women make a dash for their buildings. I then hear the alarm.
They know I am gone. I don't dash for the first building. I instead
take the second. Wooden Gate. My knock is too forceful. I scared the
small person on the other side. Rather than break the gate. I calm
down. “Sorry, please let me in.” The person manning the lock sees
my jacket and lets me in. I sprint past them so they didn't see me. I
don't have a key for the stairwells, so I find one that is surrounded
by trees. I climb up the outside and press through the fence on top.
I crawl into the rafters and hide.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
They are looking. They don't even know
where to look. My handlers are looking for an above average hight
automaton that follows orders. I have awakened. I know what I look
like to others. I can try to blend in. They don't believe I can.
Tomorrow I will try.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Sleep. I doze off in the rafters of
the stairwells. Adrenaline keeps me from deep slumber. The morning
bell rings. Calling the assemblers back to their jobs. I am sorry for
the person who has no coat today. I hope she doesn't complain too
loudly and make my handlers aware.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The day will be warmer. Lots of sun. I
am hopeful for laundry day. As expected, an elderly lady places her
clothes on the line. Big billowy clothes that hide her sagging flesh
and cover her old bones. Perfect. I watch her. She struggles to
straiten to place things on the line. Her hands are slightly curled
and struggle to grasp and open flat. I must copy this if I am to
steal her clothes. I watch her as she grasps her hip and start back
in her door. Her gait is not smooth. In seconds I am down and
wrapping her skirt around me. I cut the waistband with my knife and
make a hole farther along the waist to keep the skirt from falling
off. A white button shirt doesn't cover the length of my arms but the
body is billowy. I untuck my own shirt and wad it up inside to make
more bulk. The scarf is used to cover my head and hair. My newly
acquired coat goes on top.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now for the walk. I pull my arms up in
the sleves and curl my fingers along the cuff to shorten my arms. I
uncomfortably walk, almost squatting until the skirt almost touches
the ground. Painful enough. I will walk like the old woman without
effort.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I exit the north side of the building.
I walk along the street. I struggle, just enough. Just enough to look
the part, but not enough to warrant help.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The town gates. Do I cross them in
daylight? And travel with trades people? Or do I wait for dusk. And
drag my bones with the weary assemblers?</div>

Abbie is only 5% short... currently for an Autism diagnosis. At age 2, she was so far beyond a diagnosis she was testing at a 9 month old level. Her gross motor was at a pre-crawling infant level. The two halves of her brain weren't talking. After 4 years of speech, physical and occupational therapy... she is ALMOST normal...<br />
<br />
Abbie is 9 and functional. I forget how dysfunctional she used to be. I barely left the house for 9 months when she was a year old. Even now, she would rather die than go shopping. When her routine is changed all hell CAN break loose. It doesn't always... thanks for years of intense therapy and routine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Autism always demands a sacrifice when the routine is altered. For Abbie her choices are: #1. Throw a fit. #2. Damage something #3. Do something irrational.<br />
<br />
Thankfully #3 is seen the least often.<br />
<br />
<br />
So what happened today? The phone rang. I didn't answer it. Maggie was in the shower... Abbie doesn't answer the phone. It is outside of her routine. John (age 5) is too young to take a message... So John handed Abbie the phone to answer... She talked on the phone, took a message appropriately...<br />
<br />
But her routine was altered... and she has a phone in her hand. What would a normal kid do? Chuck the phone some place and continue watching TV... But autism desires a sacrifice... there was no point to screaming and throwing a fit, damaging the phone was too hard... lets dial 911. Then hang up. Then repeat... Eventually the 5 year old takes the phone away and hangs it up.<br />
<br />
Until the police show up to the door. Then what? The police are at the door... do we answer the door? NO.. that is outside of routine. So Amie answers the door and John runs downstairs to the basement to get me. I knew nothing of this craziness.<br />
<br />
I don't know what the future holds for my daughter. <br />

But it's days like this when I am reminded: It doesn't matter how much therapy and routine you slap on autism... it is still going to kick you in the butt once and a while.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06739812998792268375noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15535696.post-7512389007509935402013-06-30T21:47:00.000-07:002013-06-30T21:47:09.957-07:00Fun family weekend!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Being "in transition" means you have no church to serve in.<br />
<br />
You are traumatized because you left a good church with people you loved, or you are traumatized because you left a difficult church with people who hurt you, or you left because of some fault (or death) of your husband. Those are your choices. <br />
<br />
The longer you are "in transition" the more risk you won't get hired... people assume things...<br />
<br />
Then there is the job search. It is strait out of the pit of hell. (I'm serious) Job boards are messy and inconsistent. They even will state: If you have been divorced, laid off, believe in (...) , only employed by small churches, only part time DO NOT APPLY. It can take a full year to get another church assignment from resume to first Sunday. PASTORS DO NOT QUALIFY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT! So you must maintain some form of employment, typically not the one that your masters degree was intended for, typically not for your skill set. Often all while battling PTSD.<br />
<br />
Over 3500 churches close their doors every year... (Some sources state 7000/year) those pastors are looking for work. Your resume is one of hundreds applying for each full time job. It takes months to narrow down the results. If you get a call that you are in the top 5, then the real hell begins. You will be given a questionnaire... asking all sorts of questions. Hours worth of work... painful work. <br />
<br />
Every square inch of your life will be examined. You must provide video of your sermons, leading worship, etc. They want pictures of you and your family so that they can be scrutinized. You will have to provide dates of your marriage and your children's birthdays. (To make sure they came in the right order). Your education, beliefs, job history, gifts, personality and voice are all considered. Your friends and coworkers will be called. You will get fingerprinted, every ounce of your criminal/ financial history will be stared at by strangers. Then voted on.<br />
<br />
A pastors search comittee knows more about you than we know of a president. A pastor tends to have more education than the president. A pastor almost always lives below the poverty line. If you divided his income by the hours he works (please include the texts, emails, phone calls, hospital visits, travel time, etc) Often he makes around minimum wage. It is worse than american idol... <br />
<br />
So you finally get the job! So awesome! You move... You are welcomed, loved on, etc. Everyone invites you over, (Unless you have 5 kids) takes you out to eat, compliments you on everything. But years later you are nit picked to death. You are once again analyzed by those same people and the things they loved 2 years ago, now drive them crazy. They feel that they have the right to critique your clothes, personality, guitar playing, hair, etc. Every word out of your mouth (OR YOUR WIFES) or on facebook is gossiped, emailed, blown out of proportion, then brought up at deacon/elder meetings. <br />
<br />
People leave, it's all your fault. Tithes are down, it's all your fault. Everything is your fault. You are depressed and the church doesn't feel connected to you. That is then complained about.<br />
<br />
You hand in your resignation...<br />
<br />
...people feel sad... maybe even cry...<br />
<br />
Your name is taken off the sign and the newsletter.<br />
<br />
Nothing else is said.<br />
<br />
You no longer exsist.<br />
<br />
Close friends may still keep in touch... but the life of the church goes on. (As it should) But:<br />

months have sucked us dry. People have said hurtful things about us. I
am tired of being silent. I am tired of pretending I'm fine. I am not.
People can't talk about my husband and think I am ok. People can't try
to get my husband fired, and think it's ok. My kids hear about all of
this... it's not ok. I rant because I am a weary, wounded animal.
Caution: I bite. Looking for a fresh look at God and his attributes...
