I have been holding out on you. (Again. How many times have I started a post that way?) You see what happened was this. Every holiday season I host a big Indian dinner for my in-laws, our Christmas dinner for that side of the family. (I did not this past year because of moving.)…
The New Seafood Chowder: Thai Green Curried Seafood "Chowder"
You have probably noticed a dearth of seafood on this blog. When I was growing up I hated all seafood except the fish fry we had down south on the Gulf coast–but you know anything tastes good breaded in cornmeal and deep fried. Similarly I discovered that I liked calamari as well. Then after getting…
Chickpea Pumpkin Curry
I visit lots of blogs that feature drool worthy food (see sidebar for examples). But very rarely am I instantly inspired to make whatever it is I am reading. The one exception to this is Vicci’s The Days Are Just Packed. She has a knack for picking vegetarian or otherwise very healthy dishes that are…
Tick Tock, Tick Tock: Laura’s Thai Green Curry with Summer Vegetables
When I scheduled this deviated septum surgery for August 19 it never occurred to me how much it would shorten my summer. It has probably been exaggerated in my mind, but I feel like everything that I have not accomplished yet with my summer must be done before next Tuesday. Taking the kids boating with…
Tried & Tasted: Meeta’s Chicken Curry (Served With An Indian Apple Salad)
When it comes to things I am passionate about, I like being forced to thoroughly investigate just one of those things. Maybe it is because I have trouble making up my mind. For this reason I enjoy book clubs, and for this reason I really enjoy food blog events that “force” me to cook from…
At Long Last: Kandahari Chicken Curry
I think we are all feeling better—although the kids’ noses are still running and I am still occasionally beset by awful sinus pain. I think that may be why I got so sick in the first time—I think a regular old cold probably coincided with the first bad tree pollen. We are new to the…
Baked Chicken Curry with Carrot Raisin Chutney with Baby Potatoes with Panch Phoron on the Side
As I mentioned in my last post, we were just out of town and are about to go out of town again. These can be very frustrating days, cooking-wise, because I am not home long enough to want to go to the grocery store, and because we eat leftovers I am frequently off a day….
Curries from the Pantry: "Mattar Tofu" with Chana Masala "Chutney"
“Mattar Tofu” with Chana Masala “Chutney” My favorite restaurant style Indian dish is Aloo Mattar. John prefers Mattar Paneer, but they are essentially the same dish, one made with peas (mattar) and potatoes and the other with paneer (the homemade Indian cheese, similar to a cottage cheese) and peas. Ever since I made that Jack…
Pan-Fried Tofu with Thai Red Curry Sauce & Baked Hot Chocolate
Writing about my cooking comes naturally to me. Taking photographs of it does not. So when my routine is thrown off—by something good or bad—I totally forget to take pictures. Such was the case this week with my mother in law visiting. As I mentioned earlier, my in-laws like Asian food—enough so that they are…
