My Thai Curry

Today I am going to show you my recipe for Thai Curry. Use this as a base for yours. Use different veggies, proteins, or curry base.

*Note, I originally intended to make this video in Spain, but a lot of the filming got lost or didn't get recorded for some reason.  I filmed this again when I got back to the states and then I pieced together a couple of the bits from Spain and added them after.  I hope the continuity doesn't throw you too much.  I filmed this a few months ago but my editing box wasn't working.  I finally got time to edit it and present it now.
