yum-town #1 - yellow austen curry

mr. austen and i love to cook together.  we're learning together, so we usually make our own collaborated take on different recipes.  we think we found a winner for some yellow thai curry.  we're no pro's, but some of our stuff is so dang yummy that i just want to share it!  we'll call em' our "yum-town" posts.  and this can be the first!  :)   oh yeah, i don't eat meat (unless it comes in the form of a corndog or a jack-in-the-box taco), so most, if not all, of our recipes will be veggie only.
