how we got started

after emailing my daughter, Laura, a few recipes, I suggested we create a blog to share what we're eating

Monday, November 1, 2010

Here it is! Aren't you proud? Rachel finally read the blog. Made it with some lentils (kind of Dal like...as close as I could come with my cupboard), some parmesan toasted on tandoori bread, as well as some slice heirloom tomato to add to the bite. I made this for some friends, one of which who'd been hopping couches for the past week, you should have seen their grateful faces, like they were eating the first home cooked meal in their lives.
Next time I'll probably use smaller measurements of the spices, the sweet potatoes helped on the spiciness but we all agreed the spices were a bit over kill...I have yet to understand this Garam Masala thing. I'm trying to decide on a recipe for this week, either a good veggie crock pot chili or a green chili corn chowder? Something warm, but also I'm poor so something cheap. Any ideas?
This was successful, I'll attempt to keep it up!

  1. My garam masala was way spicy too! I added it to some barley, mushroom, onion stuff last night--woah. Did we post the garam masala recipe? I realized later that mom and I have the cookbook but that you don't and we might not have listed that...obviously you can get it pre-made.
    I need something cheap too, soup sounds good, especially that chili corn chowder, I have tons of poblanos!
