Vegan Panang Curry Soup

Panang curry paste does the heavy lifting in this vegan Panang curry soup recipe. It’s a sweet, salty, spicy, rich curry soup you’ll love for a busy weeknight. This recipe will also give you tips on how to cook with curry paste so you can throw together a quick curry soup any time you want using whatever you have in your pantry. I wrote about common Thai curry pastes in my recipe for Green Curry Chicken Meatballs. The post touched on the three major pastes–red, yellow, and green–but I didn’t go too much into Panang curry paste (or the myriad...

Motley Crue and Def Leppard Meet the Mexican Metal Monster Known as CDMX

Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe Add Short U.S. Run to 2023 World Tour Walking through Mexico City means listening to music everywhere. Here you can go down the street and hear a cumbia in a puesto de tortas callejeras, a street sandwich stand. Pirate record vendors carry 12-inch speakers on their backs that blast the latest hit from Bad Bunny as they navigate the bowels of the Metro, and rise to the streets. Thus, you could go up in one of the tallest skyscrapers in the city and sit in a pretentious restaurant and suddenly be joined by Bad Bunny:More...
