Thai Red Curry with Chicken, Grapes and Pea Eggplants: Homemade frozen red curry paste means amazing meals are just 30 minutes away on any given night!

Really in an ideal world it would be roasted duck, but around here finding duck to roast would be a pain–and more of an undertaking than I felt like. So roasted dark chicken meat makes a pretty good sub. I have previously shared some recipes for and using green curry paste–which is kind of ironic…

Saag Gosht (Beef in Fragrant Spinach Sauce)

July 6, 2009 By Laura 8 Comments

I used to dislike paneer saag, and, by extension, saag dishes in general. I have never been a big fan of cooked greens of any sort, and with apologies to those who love paneer, it kind of tastes like tofu to me. Which is to say that while totally inoffensive, it seems, to me anyway…

I am sure some of you are wondering how we are all sleeping around here. Before I get the whine on, let me just say I have wonderful children who are improving a lot. Alex is basically sleeping through the night in her room every night (albeit on the floor). Sammy has slept through the…
