Curry chicken

I don't know about you but I love curry; red curry, green curry, gold curry or yellow curry. I love Indian curry, north and south, Philippine curry with coconut pancakes; Thai curry hot and scintillating, Japanese curry robust and creamy, Chinese curry, Indonesian, British, Island curry and everywhere in between. I guess you could say I haven't met a curry I didn't like or I should say LOVE! To my family it's soul food and we have eaton a lot over the years. Truthfully 'the wife' makes a mean curry chicken with Basmahti rice that we devour and sit around with fat tummies like milk fed puppies.
 Like this spicy dish with it's subtle but distinct differences that vary from county to country this years pro schedule has all the possibilities to upset  the big names by just being in the race, that's why it's called 'wild card'. no one will ever know what injury, team disharmony or even bad luck will be the right blend for a spicy newcomer to take the lead in a Grand Tour  So why do I say that? Just look at all this raw talent and don't even take my word for it, look at the rosters @http://www.uci.ch/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template1/layout.asp?MenuId=MTU4MTU&LangId=1. Also look at the writings of some of the blogs in the column next to this one.
The UCI calendar for this year can be seen @ http://www.uci.ch/templates/UCI/UCI2/layout.asp?MenuId=MTUyMjQ&LangId=1
WILD CARDS are unpredictable and I don't just mean teams I mean some fresh blood, new meat, young legs who don't know enough to let the big names have their do, or think they are doing their best to get a ride on a big team next year while kicking ass all the way to the finnish line and by just being impetuous and young. I say Great, go to it and do it, make every one work hard for their spots and lets get the best to be the best every step of the way!
Like our beloved curry why wouldn't we want every countries best to be the best? If they are from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, Basque, Germany, Mexico, the USA and every where else who produce great riders.
No matter what team or which rider gains prominence by winning or having the worst year ever I LOVE THIS SPORT. I also wish each and every one of these fine men Godspeed.
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
