Thai Red Curry In The Rain Under A Tarp Woodland Wild Cooking Some Random Thoughts On Happiness

Hi guys! Off for a little walk. Got my big rucksack today. It can only mean one thing, there's a wok in it. Is that a wok in your rucksack? Are you pleased to see me? It's just a wok. I'm going to try and make a thai red curry. I've got my tarp! I wanted to try plough point configuration today so yeah it's exciting. I was up late looking at how to buy woodland and uh trying to figure out how much I need to grow this channel before I could buy some woodland. Could you imagine the things I could do if I owned a bit of woodland? Just a little bit. So yeah I was like working all the numbers out like and then my head exploded so Fred, what will this lovely frog spawn? Okay so tarp time. Are you ready? Wow! I believe this is called a plough point. If I'm wrong please do let me know. I'm not using a rigid line or anything so it's just really simple. Attach one corner to a tree and the other three staked into the ground. This is awesome. I love it. I bought my little hiking table today. Hey there it is. It's cool isn't it? Cutest little wok. Look! Isn't it adorable? While the rice is doing I'm gonna chop up some veggies and stuff. Ginger, mini corn and a little carrot, garlic, spring onion, coconut milk, chicken breast in there, red thai curry paste, a little bit of brown sugar and I've got my morat odris. I've got some lovely thai basil as well. Thin bits of carrot. Rice is going in. I love garlic. It smells gingery. Look at all these beautiful ingredients. Right the rice is done. So I'm just gonna leave that in the pot now. Hopefully that'll stay warm. Let's get this curry A little bit of sugar. that's really hot. Jesus. It's really good though. Once your mouth sort of gets used to it. This is really good. Just about adjusted to the heat a bit now. Yeah I got the weirdest email yesterday. I mean I do get quite a few weird emails but this one the gist of it was I'm going to hell because I'm too happy. I should be miserable because being human is about suffering and however much I try and hold it off it's gonna get me the end but I'm gonna go to hell because I didn't suffer enough. So yeah it was a bit of a weird email. It just got me thinking about happiness and I am really happy but you know trust me I've had my suffering as well. But I've learned over the last couple years or so just sort of how to harness my energy and how to make myself happy basically. I don't own things like other people do and but I'm just I'm really happy with the little life that I've got and I live life to the fullest as much as I can. It just got me thinking don't let anyone ever make you feel bad for being happy. Like that's the point of life to enjoy what you have and yeah just live life to the fullest that you can manage. I'd recommend that everybody does that and no one ever apologizes for it. That was interesting email of the week I think. Look it's raining yay! First day I've got to go get my sausage from school. I'll find a word on happiness while we're here. For me it's about gratitude for everything that I have that I don't have. Everything that is and everything that isn't and it's about love and I don't mean in a romantic sense I mean in a broader sense and openness and a love for life and it's about acceptance as well. Everything that is difficult and painful and beautiful and amazing because that is all part of life and it's a gift so yeah that's my thoughts on it. I hope you have an amazing day and I'll see you again soon.
