Pork chops with yellow rice and black bean pilaf... six pork chops and
veggies already cooked, seasoned, and buried under uncooked rice...
resting in fridge... all that's left is to add the liquid (large can
of diced tomatoes and water) and cook. Since there'll be guests, not
very spicy, I don't like very spicy either... anyone wants spicy I
have several kinds of hot peppers (dried and pickled) and several hot
pepper sauces... I sometimes add a couple three drops of the medium
heat Melindas... but be careful with this one:

I just saw one that called for green curry paste and an unspecified
chili paste. Wondering if the chili paste was Gochujang - or what?
Also wondering if the chili paste adds additional flavor or just more
heat.

We have been ill with a stomach bug all week so our first meal was scrambled
eggs for him and poached for me, today. At least we kept something down at
last.

Oh no... maybe you both went out for dinner somewhere... these days
restaurant food is worse than ever... the younger generation does not
practice very good hygiene nor are they at all careful with their
interpersonal relationships. Anyway I know you are a careful cook and
I don't even know that you eat out... I rarely eat out anymore and I
stick to only a few places I trust. But did I suspect a stomach bug
I'd not choose eggs, they are about the best medium for germs to
multiply... I'd stick to well done toast, baked goods, and well cooked
vegetables. Restaurant salad bars are also a risk, they are about the
best medium for harboring evil germs... restaurant employees are about
the worst at washing veggies or their hands. If you have to eat out
stick to things like pizza, germs don't survive those hot ovens... and
ask for well done... with baked goods I prefer what I call "high
brown", I abhor under cooked baked goods, I don't know how anyone can
eat those practically raw cookies. I hope you feel better soon.

We very rarely eat out and have not done for quite a while.

We were out on shopping and DH always pushes the trolley so I think it must
have come from that!

He became ill on Saturday but I didn't until Tuesday, so I caught it from
him I have some antiseptic wipes in the car to clean those handles. I
always used to so don't know why we stopped

But did I suspect a stomach bug

OH it was a stomach bug really. In face we both had gastro enteritis with
all that entails

Thank you. We haven't been able to eat all week and today was the first
time we wanted anything.
I am definitely on the mend but he is still having a few problems. Hopefully
that will pass and he will be very careful about using the gel and wipes

Almost certainly not gochujang. Probably sambal oelek or similar. Does add flavour, but more heat is the main thing.

If the recipe uses soy sauce or bean paste, then gochujang would work.

Thanks! Here are the ingredients... do you think I can just leave out
the chili paste and I won't be missing anything? I'm cooking for kids
too.

PS: I don't like chickpeas, will white beans be an acceptable
substitute, should I try something else or forget about beans?

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons green curry paste
2 tablespoons chili paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
2 cups water
1 14-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 bunch Swiss chard, cleaned, trimmed and thinly sliced

Sounds great too. This is one of those combination of ingredients I
*never* do for no particular reason... I'll have to do this myself
soon, thanks

Couple of ways to make it. In a pan sear the scallops using a lot of
butter. Turn over and cook through, Move the sallops to warmed plates.

Option 1
Deglaze the pan with orange liquor, squeeze in some fresh juice. Reduce
and pour over the scallops.

Option 2
Add a couple of tablespoons of frozen OJ concentrate

If you are still ailing, try apple cider vinegar. If you like me and
have trouble swallowing vinegar you can dilute it. My health food nazi
SiL told me about that remedy years ago. I came down with something tht
opened up the sluices at both ends and went on for days. I tried
everything, but was reluctant to try the vinegar. Eventually I was
desperate enough to try it. I started feeling better within minutes.

Late last August I came down with an intestinal ailment. I thought it
was a flu. I felt slightly nauseous for almost a week. My wife made me
go to the hospital. I was admitted within two hours and had my gall
bladder out the next morning. It seems that the flu that I had had many
times was no flu at all.

Thanks, I'll pass it on. . DH is much worse than I am. I am still weak
but improving. It hit him really badly so I think he will try anything
now.

BTDT Had mine out too. Horrible time before they decided to removed it.
Did you get keyhole surgery? Mine was in the days before that and I have a
large scar to prove it. Still, at least they got it out!!!
