A Little Thai Asian Flare

I made a new supper dish tonight and 4 out of 6 Herman's enjoyed it.  While perusing through the gourmet food selections, I found a Thai curry spice blend and purchased it.  I have been meaning to make a Thai flavored meal for a while and decided tonight was the night.  I sauteed onion and fresh garlic in some olive oil and then sprinkled my spice blend into the mixture and let it simmer down for a while.  I then added a bag of frozen vegetables that included orange peppers, red peppers, broccoli and snap peas.  I opened a can of organic coconut milk and poured it in the pan on top of the vegetable mixture and let it simmer until the veggies were soft.  In the mean time I cooked a pot of brown rice and when it seemed the vegetables were nearly done, I mixed the rice with the vegetables and coconut milk blend.  I let it soak in the rice a bit and mix up really well.  It was a creamy, coconutty, mild spicy sauce with lots of fresh nutty rice and tasty vegetables.  I thought it was pretty delicious!
