Oval Office Remarks by President Obama, as provided by the White House
Good evening. Tonight, I'd like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home.
I know this historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation – a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity may seem beyond our reach.
But this milestone should serve as a reminder to all Americans that the future is ours to shape if we move forward with confidence and commitment. It should also serve as a message to the world that the United States of America intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership in this young century.
From this desk, seven and a half years ago, President Bush announced the beginning of military operations in Iraq. Much has changed since that night. A war to disarm a state became....
...a fight against an insurgency. Terrorism and sectarian warfare threatened to tear Iraq apart. Thousands of Americans gave their lives; tens of thousands have been wounded. Our relations abroad were strained. Our unity at home was tested.
These are the rough waters encountered during the course of one of America's longest wars. Yet there has been one constant amidst those shifting tides. At every turn, America's men and women in uniform have served with courage and resolve. As Commander-in-Chief, I am proud of their service. Like all Americans, I am awed by their sacrifice, and by the sacrifices of their families.
The Americans who have served in Iraq completed every mission they were given. They defeated a regime that had terrorized its people. Together with Iraqis and coalition partners who made huge sacrifices of their own, our troops fought block by block to help Iraq seize the chance for a better future. They shifted tactics to protect the Iraqi people; trained Iraqi Security Forces; and took out terrorist leaders. Because of our troops and civilians –and because of the resilience of the Iraqi people – Iraq has the opportunity to embrace a new destiny, even though many challenges remain.
So tonight, I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country.
This was my pledge to the American people as a candidate for this office. Last February, I announced a plan that would bring our combat brigades out of Iraq, while redoubling our efforts to strengthen Iraq's Security Forces and support its government and people. That is what we have done. We have removed nearly 100,000 U.S. troops from Iraq. We have closed or transferred hundreds of bases to the Iraqis. And we have moved millions of pieces of equipment out of Iraq.
This completes a transition to Iraqi responsibility for their own security. U.S. troops pulled out of Iraq's cities last summer, and Iraqi forces have moved into the lead with considerable skill and commitment to their fellow citizens. Even as Iraq continues to suffer terrorist attacks, security incidents have been near the lowest on record since the war began. And Iraqi forces have taken the fight to al Qaeda, removing much of its leadership in Iraqi-led operations.
This year also saw Iraq hold credible elections that drew a strong turnout. A caretaker administration is in place as Iraqis form a government based on the results of that election. Tonight, I encourage Iraq's leaders to move forward with a sense of urgency to form an inclusive government that is just, representative, and accountable to the Iraqi people. And when that government is in place, there should be no doubt: the Iraqi people will have a strong partner in the United States. Our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.
Going forward, a transitional force of U.S. troops will remain in Iraq with a different mission: advising and assisting Iraq's Security Forces; supporting Iraqi troops in targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our civilians. Consistent with our agreement with the Iraqi government, all U.S. troops will leave by the end of next year. As our military draws down, our dedicated civilians –diplomats, aid workers, and advisors –are moving into the lead to support Iraq as it strengthens its government, resolves political disputes, resettles those displaced by war, and builds ties with the region and the world. And that is a message that Vice President Biden is delivering to the Iraqi people through his visit there today.
This new approach reflects our long-term partnership with Iraq–one based upon mutual interests, and mutual respect. Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals. Iraqis are a proud people. They have rejected sectarian war, and they have no interest in endless destruction. They understand that, in the end, only Iraqis can resolve their differences and police their streets. Only Iraqis can build a democracy within their borders. What America can do, and will do, is provide support for the Iraqi people as both a friend and a partner.
Ending this war is not only in Iraq's interest– it is in our own. The United States has paid a huge price to put the future of Iraq in the hands of its people. We have sent our young men and women to make enormous sacrifices in Iraq, and spent vast resources abroad at a time of tight budgets at home. We have persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people –a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it is time to turn the page.
As we do, I am mindful that the Iraq War has been a contentious issue at home. Here, too, it is time to turn the page. This afternoon, I spoke to former President George W. Bush. It's well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset. Yet no one could doubt President Bush's support for our troops, or his love of country and commitment to our security. As I have said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hope for Iraq's future.
The greatness of our democracy is grounded in our ability to move beyond our differences, and to learn from our experience as we confront the many challenges ahead. And no challenge is more essential to our security than our fight against al Qaeda.
Americans across the political spectrum supported the use of force against those who attacked us on 9/11. Now, as we approach our 10th year of combat in Afghanistan, there are those who are understandably asking tough questions about our mission there. But we must never lose sight of what's at stake. As we speak, al Qaeda continues to plot against us, and its leadership remains anchored in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. We will disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda, while preventing Afghanistan from again serving as a base for terrorists. And because of our drawdown in Iraq, we are now able to apply the resources necessary to go on offense. In fact, over the last 19 months, nearly a dozen al Qaeda leaders –and hundreds of Al Qaeda's extremist allies–have been killed or captured around the world.
Within Afghanistan, I have ordered the deployment of additional.... .... troops who–under the command of General David Petraeus –are fighting to break the Taliban's momentum. As with the surge in Iraq, these forces will be in place for a limited time to provide space for the Afghans to build their capacity and secure their own future. But, as was the case in Iraq, we cannot do for Afghans what they must ultimately do for themselves. That's why we are training Afghan Security Forces and supporting a political resolution to Afghanistan's problems. And, next July, we will begin a transition to Afghan responsibility. The pace of our troop reductions will be determined by conditions on the ground, and our support for Afghanistan will endure. But make no mistake: this transition will begin – because open-ended war serves neither our interests nor the Afghan people's.
Indeed, one of the lessons of our effort in Iraq is that American influence around the world is not a function of military force alone. We must use all elements of our power –including our diplomacy, our economic strength, and the power of America's example –to secure our interests and stand by our allies. And we must project a vision of the future that is based not just on our fears, but also on our hopes –a vision that recognizes the real dangers that exist around the world, but also the limitless possibility of our time.
Today, old adversaries are at peace, and emerging democracies are potential partners. New markets for our goods stretch from Asia to the Americas. A new push for peace in the Middle East will begin here tomorrow. Billions of young people want to move beyond the shackles of poverty and conflict. As the leader of the free world, America will do more than just defeat on the battlefield those who offer hatred and destruction –we will also lead among those who are willing to work together to expand freedom and opportunity for all people.
That effort must begin within our own borders. Throughout our history, America has been willing to bear the burden of promoting liberty and human dignity overseas, understanding its link to our own liberty and security. But we have also understood that our nation's strength and influence abroad must be firmly anchored in our prosperity at home. And the bedrock of that prosperity must be a growing middle class.
Unfortunately, over the last decade, we have not done what is necessary to shore up the foundation of our own prosperity. We have spent over a trillion dollars at war, often financed by borrowing from overseas. This, in turn, has short-changed investments in our own people, and contributed to record deficits. For too long, we have put off tough decisions on everything from our manufacturing base to our energy policy to education reform. As a result, too many middle class families find themselves working harder for less, while our nation's long-term competitiveness is put at risk.
And so at this moment, as we wind down the war in Iraq, we must tackle those challenges at home with as much energy, and grit, and sense of common purpose as our men and women in uniform who have served abroad. They have met every test that they faced. Now, it is our turn. Now, it is our responsibility to honor them by coming together, all of us, and working to secure the dream that so many generations have fought for –the dream that a better life awaits anyone who is willing to work for it and reach for it.
Our most urgent task is to restore our economy, and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work. To strengthen our middle class, we must give all our children the education they deserve, and all our workers the skills that they need to compete in a global economy. We must jumpstart industries that create jobs, and end our dependence on foreign oil. We must unleash the innovation that allows new products to roll off our assembly lines, and nurture the ideas that spring from our entrepreneurs. This will be difficult. But in the days to come, it must be our central mission as a people, and my central responsibility as President.
Part of that responsibility is making sure that we honor our commitments to those who have served our country with such valor. As long as I am President, we will maintain the finest fighting force that the world has ever known, and do whatever it takes to serve our veterans as well as they have served us. This is a sacred trust. That is why we have already made one of the largest increases in funding for veterans in decades. We are treating the signature wounds of today's wars post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury, while providing the health care and benefits that all of our veterans have earned. And we are funding a post-9/11 GI Bill that helps our veterans and their families pursue the dream of a college education. Just as the GI Bill helped those who fought World War II- including my grandfather- become the backbone of our middle class, so today's servicemen and women must have the chance to apply their gifts to expand the American economy. Because part of ending a war responsibly is standing by those who have fought it.
Two weeks ago, America's final combat brigade in Iraq –the Army's Fourth Stryker Brigade –journeyed home in the pre-dawn darkness. Thousands of soldiers and hundreds of vehicles made the trip from Baghdad, the last of them passing into Kuwait in the early morning hours. Over seven years before, American troops and coalition partners had fought their way across similar highways, but this time no shots were fired. It was just a convoy of brave Americans, making their way home.
Of course, the soldiers left much behind. Some were teenagers when the war began. Many have served multiple tours of duty, far from their families who bore a heroic burden of their own, enduring the absence of a husband's embrace or a mother's kiss. Most painfully, since the war began fifty-five members of the Fourth Stryker Brigade made the ultimate sacrifice –part of over 4,400 Americans who have given their lives in Iraq. As one staff sergeant said, "I know that to my brothers in arms who fought and died, this day would probably mean a lot."
Those Americans gave their lives for the values that have lived in the hearts of our people for over two centuries. Along with nearly 1.5 million Americans who have served in Iraq, they fought in a faraway place for people they never knew. They stared into the darkest of human creations –war –and helped the Iraqi people seek the light of peace.
In an age without surrender ceremonies, we must earn victory through the success of our partners and the strength of our own nation. Every American who serves joins an unbroken line of heroes that stretches from Lexington to Gettysburg; from Iwo Jima to Inchon; from Khe Sanh to Kandahar – Americans who have fought to see that the lives of our children are better than our own. Our troops are the steel in our ship of state. And though our nation may be travelling through rough waters, they give us confidence that our course is true, and that beyond the pre-dawn darkness, better days lie ahead.
Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America, and all who serve her. ####

Thai Red Curry
This Thai Red Curry is for GBP and also my dear friend N who has no clue that this blog exists.
N is the first Bong friend I had made after coming to US and when I think of it now, I cringe thinking of the way I befriended her
It had been more than two months that we had arrived and I was yet to meet a single Bengali soul, not considering the hubby of course. How I pined to gossip in Bengali, to chat with someone about Kolkata, to ask someone the best place to buy Hilsa. But there was none.
Of course there were the Bong organizations like all other cultural desi organizations beckoning to you with a smile in return for the yearly membership fee. But no, D would not be a part of them, he flatly refused to be part of the Bengali milieu that spoke and talked about a Bengal they had left some thirty odd years back. Though D is a Bengali and has grown up in Bengal unlike me who stayed outside Bengal for a considerable time, he lacks the full dosage of Bangaliana (the Bengaliness) a true blood Bengali has and was as happy in absence of the above.
Ok but this about N and not D so let's not deviate
In my then state of frustration I was walking the aisles of K-Mart in lack of better things to do, when I hear fragments of Bengali being spoken in the neighboring aisle. I peered and I see this young couple, the girl in a Salwar-Kameez talking animatedly to her husband about some mundane K-Martish stuff.
I felt an immense urge to butt in and join in their discussion, voicing my opinion too in Bengali and then maybe inviting them over. But I restrained, I was frustrated yes, but still short of being labeled a lunatic.
Back at the Parking Lot while I was getting into my car, they were there too, lugging something into their trunk. I felt the urge again and this time asked D. D being the non-passionate Bong refused to play a role but gave me leeway to do things I wanted. The couple in the mean time were closing the trunk and revving the car. In a sheer state of desperation I bolted toward their car, said "Hi" muttered something about me being Bengali and it would be nice if we could meet etc. and scribbled my number on one of D's business cards and ran. Yeah I just ran back while they stood there patiently, quizzically…
Thankfully none of us knew anything about Quixtar aka Amway
Then one day she called and I called and as they say – Rest is History
N has since grown to be my best friend. Though she is younger to me and is a English major, she was kind and patient enough to let me explain my tacky tech assignments to her while I attended grad school. She still listens to all my woes, gives me all her support and occasionally chats up my 3 yr old too. She is an awesome human being and a great friend and a foodie at heart and yesterday was her twins – 2 cute boys first birthday. Lots of happiness to them and their Mom & Dad
Recently N & her family were on house hunt and almost every weekend they would be out with the twins. If they were in my 15 mile radius I would ask them to drop by for lunch. Since N loves Thai food I made Thai Red Curry with Chicken for her on the weekend they finally decided on a house they liked. I served it with a Fried Rice, but its best with White Jasmine Rice. Just like N we love Thai Food too and this curry came out perfect. I often use shrimp instead of Chicken in this recipe and that comes out better.
I mostly frameworked my recipe from here - this site. I did throw in my own steps but the whole thing is pretty easy and quick and you can mould it around your comfort level. I did not use Fish Sauce as I had none. The recipe says chicken stock and cornstarch, but I don't think you need these. I also do not exactly remember the measures as I did this a month back, so give me some leeway there too
Read more...
What You need
Chicken ~ 1 and ½ lb approx. I used skinless Chicken Thighs cut in small pieces(this is approximate measurment)
Onion ~ 1 large grind to a paste
Red Bell Peppers ~ 3 cut into thin slices
Garlic ~ 2 cloves minced
Coconut Milk ~ 1 can
Red Curry Paste ~ a 4 oz can of Maesri Brand Red Curry paste . This is pretty hot. So you could add less of this
Sweet Basil Leaves ~ 7-8
Lime Zest ~ from half of a medium sized green lime
Kafir Lime leaves ~ 2-3 if you can get hold of them . I never found them
For Marinade (if you are doing it)
Ginger paste ~ 1 tsp
Garlic Paste ~ 1 tsp
White Vinegar ~ 1 tbsp
How I Did It
Marinade the chicken pieces with 1 tbsp of vinegar, salt and 1 tsp each of ginger paste and garlic paste. I did this because I cannot have chicken when it has not been marinaded, I get a smell !!!
Heat Oil in a Wok/Frying Pan
Add 1 clove of minced garlic and 4 Basil leaves(no need to chop them)
When you get the fragrance of Basil and Garlic, remove the garlic and the basil leaves from the hot oil. Now you get a beautifully flavored oil which you use for rest of the recipe
Now to this oil add the chicken pieces, lightly brown them and remove and keep aside
Add Onion paste and fry till it turns pink
Add 1 clove of minced garlic
Sauté and add the red bell pepper
When the Pepper turns soft add the Red Curry Paste. I added the entire content of the can. It was fiery spicy but I liked it. You may like to reduce the level if you wish
Cook for couple of minutes and then add the Coconut Milk. You may need to add ½ or more cups of water at this point.
Let it come to a boil and add the remaining Basil Leaves
Add the chicken pieces and let it simmer at medium heat
Add salt and 1 tsp sugar and cook to desired consistency
Add the Lime Zest or Kafir Lime Leaves
Trivia: The word basil comes from the Greek βασιλευς (basileus), meaning "king", as it is believed to have grown above the spot where St. Constantine and Helen discovered the Holy Cross (Source: Wiki)

Hahaha, whats with you bongs, obsessed with meeting other bongs? :) . My friend has a very similar story, she is a mallu who grew up in Calcutta, she befriended a girl in the mall, just because she heard her talking in Bengali, now they are best friends!!! Your story is so similar, I was laughing out loud reading this, sending this link out to her.ReplyDelete

hhahaha... kya dosti hai!!!!!! Great going sandeepa :)ReplyDelete
Thai curry sounds great.... thought it will be with veggies for me!!!! :) I love thai food for its close proximity to indian food..... texture... colourful.... spicy!!!!! UMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha! For me it was the other way round, here in Middle East, everyone incl shopkeepers speak in Malayalam (that never happened in Mumbai) and I clam up coz I don't have a typical accent like them- my Malayalam sounds very anglacized!! :) Thanks for the recipe, I like red curry.ReplyDelete
How good that looks! I love how you organize your recipes. It's a lovely way to present the information. :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 10, 2007 4:13 AM
Ha ha ha! I would have thought that you are some Amway representative. I have had some strange experiences with Amway people so sometimes I steer clear from suspicious Indians:)).ReplyDelete
Btw Thai curry looks yum and let me pen down the song which came to my mind reading the post.
ye dosti hum nahin chodenge...
todenge dum magar tera saath na chodenge.....
Such a sweet story of friendship.. sigh... :) But I totally understand that desire to reach out to your compatriots! :) In Singapore, I'd never be half as friendly to my fellow Singaporeans! But abroad, it's a different story! :)ReplyDelete
Well, what does N think of your blog then?
Heh heh, I "cheat", too, always using a ready-made red curry paste. Gosh, I haven't made this in ages! I make mine pretty much like yours, but I usually add Thai baby aubergines, those little pale green balls.
Sandeepa, lovely story. Thai Red Curry looks delicious. Those Basil leaves sure add a lot of taste. I was reluctant at first till I tasted Basil Chicken in a friends place.ReplyDelete
Yes those Amway folks give me the jitters, one family travelled all the way from Philly to recruit us H happened to run into them in a mall.
woh!! sandeepa!! sweet story and definitely a very nice recipe as well!!!ReplyDelete
You are a great friend Sandeepa.It is imp to have like minded ppl around you.I meet some Karnataka ppl too but it becomes one way!I am always entertaining them and they never invite us!!!So I don't bother anymore!:)ReplyDelete
Red curry looks great,I am planning to make it for WHB sometime:))
oh..being a probashi bangali, i lack what u called 'bangaliana' too, and i think now i know what my husband goes thru with me is what you went thru with D!ReplyDelete
i love thai food too...am going to try this one soon!
- AnonymousApril 10, 2007 10:08 AM
We love thai food...the green curry is also a favourite with us!ReplyDelete
I love your sweet story and can totally relate to it..having done the same in Japan at the railway station..saw a guy..he spoke in bengali to a fellow guy..I just went up to him and said (in bengali)"I havent eaten anything for 2 days due to language problem..can you show me where to buy something which I can eat?"
I had just landed in Japan with the idea that everyone speaks english!!!
After that we became very close friends,,..and he still relates this story as a joke in gatherings of how he got "introduced" to me!
Ha, ha one of my husband's close friend (from school but now he has disappeared !!!) was aMallu but he spoke Bangla so well
Actually the recipe on the can says to use Thai Brinjal etc. try that
Yeah that is like something D would do :)
Thanks. You are too sweet w::)
Even we say that now. Had we known about AMway we could never have been friends :)
N doesn't know that this Blog exists. I intend to let my Blog Life be totally separete from the real one. Except D & my parents no one in real life knows about my Blog :)
I have had terrible Amway experiences too but later. Try this chicken and if you can make your red curry paste better, else it is pretty quick
Yeah you need some good friends around. I think these people you are talking about were not friends just a bunch of rude people
But its not same level of friendship with all people we know even here. With some we meet/talk only when we go to their home for some party or they come to ours -- not really friends I would say
Problem is, its me who is the "Probashi" bangali. D is not from Kolkata but an industrial town in WB just 3 hrs away so he should have been more Bong
I don't know I always feel japanese are so busy that finding a Bangali adda there would have been a gift
Sandeeepaaa....this reminds me of my earlier days here in US, looking for a Mallu ;) I guess it happens to everyone right ? I have saved ur recipe dear...will try soon.ReplyDelete
Still the picture of u running away and the young couple holding the card confused and those cars lined up in the parking lot...its all flashing in my brain :)))))
two questions:ReplyDelete
what veggie substitutions would you recommend for the shrimp?
how does your local desi grocer manage to keep his/her mustard oil stock from running out with two bong families in the vicinity?
So its not a bong thing alone :) One more common trait in Bongs and mallus other than the fish.
He gives us free for the increase in sales :) And he knows that I have to buy by gallons if I see a bee hovering around to douse her with ;-)
Ok so I love my shrimp and chicken and have not tried anything else, but the recipe says you can add zucchini etc. and Shilpa here says she adds Thai Eggplants
this is a brilliant blog to find recipes to impress my mum with!!!!ReplyDelete
Hahahha, I was like you when I moved to VA, My husband is just like "D":). Thankfully my friends from CA use to call me everyday and as well my pregnancy & winter kept in away from knocking neighbors doors:DReplyDelete
Red curry(veg) is one of favorite and I often make this along with basil fried rice, will post the recipe sometime.

Hi Sandeepa!ReplyDelete
Loved your story. Chance meetings often lead to beautiful friendships that last forever. I love the idea of putting lemon zest in the thai curry. Will try it next time. Thanks!
BTW - About your comment on my Bread sticks...I can forgive your spelling mistakes as long as you had not mis-spelt 'bekaar' as 'bekaraar':)
Hey, I just saw ur comment on mine...I am fine dear..that was soooo sweet of u to ask :) I guess it was just coz of the sudden climate change from 80 to 20's..ReplyDelete
take care and sleep tight
That was such a sweet write up. Yes, sometimes there is that longing for some familiarity.....
and look at that inviting red curry. i join Coffee in adapting this dish to a veggied fair :)

What a lovely story Sandeepa, with a happy ending too -- my favorite kind!ReplyDelete
Thai curry is one of my weaknesses, so you know I will be trying this. I love it with tofu and fresh eggplant, too. Looks beautiful!!
Nice story, Sandeepa! Good that you picked up the courage And your curry looks good.ReplyDelete
~sigh~ its difficult to find indians, forget abt people from same region, where we stay. i can totally understand how u must have felt the urge to go n talk to them. many times i too feel the same but with the cold looks they give i stay away. even if i try to start convo they give that weird look as if i am after something. so thats the end of my "make some friends" story:)ReplyDelete

sandeepa, i am still the shy one. i never pluck up courage to talk to strangers!probably coz my brother warned me of amway hawkers.:) but great that u made a friend thru that. love the color of ur curry. which is ur favorite thai place in NJ?ReplyDelete
What a delicious curry! I have yet to try my hands at Thai cooking, but you are inspiring me to give it a shot. I am sure this curry could be veggified quite easily. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and love the story too!ReplyDelete
Sandeepa is'nt it amazing how a total stranger can grow to be a dear friend...as for the curry, it definitely looks red-probably a little less heat would do it for me...but honestly it does look good...your friend's lucky...ReplyDelete
Sandeepa - Thai curry - my favroite kinds and with homegrown herbs - it makes it extra special. Loved reading your story with N. :)Thank you for participating in GBP.ReplyDelete
OMG you know I have to prod D to talk at times when we are visiting people he doesn't know well :)
No,No I meant "BEKARAAR". With the stuff you bake the other word doesn't even cross my mind
Good to know you are up & about :)
No one would believe me but this again hapened with me last year. We were at "Levitz" a furniture store and this girl/lady comes up smiles, talks about my daughter (now that is a easier conv starter) and then goes on to tell me why a particular dining table would not be right for her dining place :) !!! This time I was weary because of Amway exp.and but she turned out to be a great person and now is a good friend too
Thats a nice idea for all you veggie lovers. TRY WITH TOFU as Linda says
I have courage at all wrong places :)
Thats too bad. But you know why mine clicked because we both were new in this country
Yeah Amway has happened to us too. Once I was even lured into an Event at the Sheraton because they told me its E-Commerce application seminar with renowned people fom the industry !!!
With the Red Curry paste out of thge jar this was the easiest thing on earth
Yeah thats how you make friends. Thanks for your sweet words
Waiting for the round up
We mostly go to Pad Thai in HighLand Park but I like Bangkok Garden at Tenafly better which is nearer to my friend's place
There is a small one close to home too, but not that good in the sense they are a bit mild.

I love Thai food and I have tried the Green/Red/Panang curries at home. I usually substitute tofu for chicken - not that I am a vegetarian; just because I love tofu. I am going to try your Red curry with chicken; it looks delicious just like all your dishes :-)ReplyDelete
That is such a wonderful story about how you met your friend N. You are both blessed to have each other as friends. Wonderful tribute.
Hi Sandeepa,ReplyDelete
I just love thai food.Lovely recipe and the color looks awesome.The presentation is very inviting.Thanks for sharing
Nice story Sandeepa! I know the feeling about meeting other Indians, and I was born and brought up in Toronto!!!!ReplyDelete
this was such a lovely story Sandeepa...and look what you got out of it, a friend for life...what can beat that?ReplyDelete
this curry is not up my alley...i'll have to substitute something else..say beans and greens and such?
have a nice day ahead.\

This is funny, I am a Probashi Bangali and don't have Bangaliana as you say (took some time to figure that word) and I cringe whenever I am told to get aquainted just because you hear a bangla word dropped. But I have seen a seemingly unknown bond getting built whenever a bong meets another bong. And I have seen with Bongs I have met they have built a bond with me much better than they build it with anyone else.ReplyDelete
Hey Sandeepa, since this dish is dedicated to friendship, i guess i'll make this for my friend when she visits me over the weekend, and share this story with her :)ReplyDelete
here's to friendship :)
The story of mine was very different. When I first came from India to Us(we were in port chester, NY then) I so desperately wanted to see Indians and I just couldn't find any other desis other than us. Now that I am in NJ its opposite. There are a whole lot of Indians and somehow not all of them are friendly. They have this " don't bother us" kind of look on their face.
Anyways coming to your red curry...it looks gorgeous Sandeepa. There is a Thai place called Four Seasons very close to my place and they have best Thai food that we have had till date. Your curry looks exactly like theirs. Now thats a compliment. I am serious!!!Lovely. I am gonna try it with some veggies.
Oh I will also substitute tofu and try out
Cynthia, Sowmya, Trupti, Kanchana
The Pilgrim
Yes I have a high dose of that :)
That's really sweet of you
We used to go to Four Seasons when I was studying as it was very close to my univ. It was pretty good. But haven't been there now for a long time
One of my friend was saying they now have a small grocery section and carry Kafir Lime leaves too. Did you ever try that ?

I was sooo obsessed meeting a Malayalee and did the same thing at Kmart!! Same pinch!! I love love you!! again and again!
Uff ki yuummmm. I love thai food. Bohudin baade red curry dekhe jibhey jol eshe gelo :P And tis urge to express it in Bangla. You know how true appreciation for good food, has to be in one's mother tongue!ReplyDelete
I desperately need some good recipes for G.She's got very sharp taste buds and I don't have the patience to cook fancy food after work every evening. So turn to your blog :)
It looks delicious!ReplyDelete
Nice to read ur friendship story Sandeepa. U are one lucky girl to get a good friend like N. I know abt the urge when we meet people who speak our own language. But somehow Iam yet to meet a peson like N.ReplyDelete
Thai curry looks great.lovely presentation.
Hi SandeepaReplyDelete
I have the same obsession meeting with other bongs in New Jersey.Your story reminds me some pages of memory. Nice picture of Thai Chicken.

Freedom is NOT Free
I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform;
so young, so tall, so proud.
With hair cut square and eyes alert,
he'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought, how many men like him
had fallen through the years?
How many died on foreign soil?
How many Mother's tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many foxholes were soldiers'
No, Freedom is not free.
I heard the sound of 'Taps' one night,
when everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
and felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
that 'Taps' had meant 'Amen',
when a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
of Mothers and the Wives,
of Fathers, Sons and Husbands
with interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
at the bottom of the sea,
of unmarked graves at Arlington.
No, Freedom isn't free!

Frequently Asked Questions
These light sets are one piece, which means the bulbs cannot be replaced. What if a bulb goes out?
LED diodes typically last a long time, it's rare that they will burn out. But in the event that one does burn out, the rest of the set will continue to operate without a problem.
Why are the bulbs non replaceable?
Generally, top quality LED Christmas light sets are made using a one piece LED bulb and socket design. Although this does prevent the bulbs from being replaced, the advantage is that it significantly extends the life of the light set. The #1 reason LED light sets fail is because dirt and moisture get into the lighting system causing the set to fail. By having a single piece construction, this creates a sealed bulb and socket. Because LED diodes last a very long time, it's rare that one will burn out.
Your LED bulbs are rated at 75,000 hours, but I see other websites that have them rated up to 200,000 hours, why is there such a big difference?
Any site that is rating a LED diode above 85,000 hours has outdated information. During the early days of LED Christmas lights, factories in China often exaggerated their bulb hour ratings, however, through the years additional testing has shown that this is not realistic. At 200,000 hours, if you had your lights on for 12 hours a night for 60 days each holiday season, the LEDs would last for 277 years. It's obviously impossible for a LED diode to last that long. A more realistic rating is generally between 35,000 hours and 85,000 hours, however, it's important to understand this is the life expectancy of only the LED diode in a perfect factory condition. See the next question for more information regarding light set life expectancy.
Since the bulbs on these light sets are rated at 75,000 hours, is that approximately how long the set itself will last?
It's important to understand that LED bulb life and light set life are two different things. The 75,000 hour rating only applies to the LED diode in a perfect factory test environment. Unfortunately it's impossible to offer an accurate life expectancy for LED light sets because there are so many factors that can affect the life of the set. These factors can include how long the sets are left up every year, how harsh the weather is and how carefully the sets are installed, removed and stored.
Even though there are a number of factors that can shorten the life of a LED light set, if taken care of and not left up for extended periods of time, LEDs will last for many years and will offer reliability and longevity that far surpasses traditional incandescent Christmas lights.
** Christmas Designers Pro Series lights come with a 3 Season Limited Warranty. Christmas Designers warrants to the original buyer for 3 seasons under normal conditions of use, that our Pro Series Christmas lights will be free from defects in material and workmanship.
Warranty is voided if the lights are used beyond normal seasonal usage, which is considered 90 days or less each year. Rough handling, cut/torn wires or modification of the light set in any way will void the warranty.
For additional details and warranty claims, refer to our terms and conditions.

Fancy a city break to Paris? At Netflights, we compare hundreds of holidays to Paris to help you get more bang for your buck. Whether you're after a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a trip with your mates, we've got just the thing.
Paris is a popular holiday spot in France but prices vary throughout the year. If you want a cheap deal, try looking for holidays in January, when prices are at their lowest. July is the most popular time to visit Paris so, if you want to go then, it's best to book in advance.
If you're flexible on travel dates, try searching for holidays to Paris by month to find the cheapest deals. It's also worth considering different flying days – flights will probably be cheaper on a Tuesday than a Friday, for example.There are roughly 826 flights from the UK to or via Paris every week, so you've got plenty of options. Air Europa often have the best flight deals, so keep an eye out for them in your holiday search results.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is the most frequently used method for easing mild to moderate anxiety in children. Administered through a small mask that fits over your child's nose, it is an effective way to calm anxiety. Your child will be asked to breathe through his or her nose and not through their mouth. As the gas begins to work, your child will become calm, although he or she will still be awake and able to talk with the dentist.
At the end of your child's appointment, he or she will resume breathing regular oxygen, and all the effects of nitrous oxide will disappear. As your child gets older and becomes more comfortable during dental visits, nitrous oxide may not be necessary.
