Made a big pot of Celery stew with most of the vegetables from my little balcony garden.

Except the small can of spinach and the meat, the rest are all from the balcony and hydroponic garden. It's lovely to have to cut fresh vegetables and my hands smell like my mothers when I was little.
It's a lovely feeling going back 50 years to the days I was helping my mother cut vegetables when we came back from her monthly shopping.

I really love celery stew, something my mother really hated, because it reminded her of my time in Evin prison where I learned to eat what ever they put on the plate, unlike home, being picky eater wasn't an option.

Just cooking some rice to have a big dinner soon.

Improv curry stew

Potatos, chefs choice, cubed
Zucchini or squash, sliced
Tomatos quartered
Artichoke hearts
Mushrooms
Fresh Basil
Peppers, various
Curry marinade, or
your own blend of curry spices, with coconut milk
I like to add roasted broccoli and cauliflower
I also replace rice with rice noodles, lo mein style

InstantPot, 1 hr on stew, then a 15 min high pressure before serving to ensure the potatos are well cooked.

I slightly overfilled this recipe to the instantpot, have to run the first hour topless

Curry all week!
