Squash Curry Safeway-Style

So I've successfully finished making this week's meals before noon today. I boiled the veggies, now drinking the soup from the veggies, have one thing of pasta for lunch tomorrow and squash curry. I also have some leftover beef and vegetable soup, plus beef stew, and the kani croquette plus sweet yams that I bought yesterday so this should be more than enough to tide me over for the week. At least next time I go to the city, I don't have to worry about buying veggies 'cause I'll still have lots here. It'll be another 2-3 weeks before I go 'cause my test is coming up on the 13th =_=;

Anyway, I had this one container of butternut squash soup from Safeway that needs to be eaten before February 10th, and I had some leftover curry from a week (maybe two weeks...?) ago, but it still smelled and looked fine so I mixed part of it together, and then put some coconut milk in it. The curry that I made from before had some potato starch in it 'cause I was boiling potatoes -- which I peeled all the skins off -- the same day I made the curry, and I used the water from the potatoes to mix in with the curry so it would be thicker than if I just used water. Well, I didn't eat it for a while and it still smelled fine so I re-cooked part of it and added in the Safeway soup. When everything boiled, I lowered the heat and added 1/4 can of coconut milk. It turned out pretty well. I was making some spaghetti so I put the noodles in the soup and mixed it for a bit. After maybe five minutes or so, I turned it off and let the noodles soak in the sauce. I had enough pasta for two servings so I put some for lunch tomorrow and had the other part for brunch. The remaining squash curry, I put in a container to be eaten with rice or soba that I plan on eating sometime ^_^;

While I was making the noodles with curry, I also boiled some Chinese Gai Lan so now I have greens for this week and the soup from boiling the greens to drink ^__^ I'm being all-around healthy~! Yay, go me \( ^,^ )/

I just got a little too excited and had to share this here ^__^
