Been itching for Thai curry for a couple of weeks, and there's an extremely good green curry at a reasonably accessible place here in Bremerton.

Green curries are considered the hottest, and they will tone down the spiceivity to a "mild" level. I survived this amount of heat just to see what it would be like. Good stuff! A bottle or two of their not-for-export lager would be good additions and my garage refrigerator didn't let me down.
