Filipino Chicken Curry ~

 I wanted to try something different with chicken thighs this week.  So I searched my recipes and found this one tucked away, on my "to make" list.  It comes from someone who posted this a few years ago on PW's site, moonglow.  I love curry and coconut milk together.  And a splash of the fish sauce at the end, helps gives it a salty, sweet, tangy flavor.  I served it over basmati rice.  It was yummy.  And easy, which is such a plus on a busy week night.

Oh, aren't my place mat and napkins just darling?  They are a gift from a dear friend down South.  Thank you C.
