Monday Moments - I hope you'll settle for a recipe...

I have no thoughts today...I've sat down to the computer 4 different times trying to come up with something to write, something to say...and I think, I think, and...nothing. It's just a blah Monday. I should have just spent the time napping. Recovering from having a house full of people for the weekend after one crazy week of work and well...life. Now my husband wants to go camping this weekend, and while I think it would be fun, there's a part of me that just wants a Saturday to sleep in. But I guess I got a whole winter of sleeping to do. We might as well play, while the playing is still warm outside.

As for the recipe below. This was my first time making it and I thought it was yummolicious. Next time I will replace the first 4 T. of butter with olive oil and omit the butter entirely from the honey/lemon/curry sauce. I think it would be fine without it and it would be much healthier. That's just what I would do. I left the recipe as is, so you can choose.
