Easy One Pot Microwave Curry Potato-Rice

The secret is in the awesome covered microwave crockpot.
1/2 cup uncooked white rice (I used jasmine)
1 medium russet potato peeled and cubed
3 kale leaves, de-stemmed and chopped
1.25 cup of vegetable broth (or use 1 teaspoon of a vegetable broth powder mixed with 1.25 cup of water)
1 tsp of curry powder

Combine the broth, curry powder and rice in the pot. Add the kale. Stir. Add the cubed potatoes on top. No need to stir the potatoes (the broth will not cover the potatoes). You want the rice to be submerged in the broth. Potatoes can sit on top and cook from the steam.

Cover (the lid has a vent)
Microwave high (100%) for 5 minutes (800 watts). Then lower to 50% for 16 minutes.
Leave in microwave for at least 15 minutes afterwards to allow the liquid to be absorbed, the rice and potatoes to finish cooking. I left mine in for 30 minutes when possible.

Stir or fluff gently to mix the potatoes with the rice mixture. Yummy!

Joy of Journey

Joy of journey is compensation for change in destination.

Hello, again.
It has been a while and much has happened.  We are products of our experiences.  We can choose to look at those experiences differently but we can never erase them.

Destinations help guide our travels.
Without them, we would aimlessly wander.
But if too focused on the destination,
We risk missing the detours and sights,
The beauty of the journey.

So keep the destination in mind, fellow travelers.
But embrace the moments,
The little things that make us smile.
That make us feel as if
The journey is all that matters.

Travel's end may not be as envisioned
For Life has a way of surprising us.
Joy of journey is compensation
To console and ease the sense of loss
From changes in dreams and destinations.

Life happens.
