Eating well. Very well.










The aliens are making mess of our road.







I cheated on The China Study Cookbook and cooked out of Isa Chandra Moskowitz.  But I still have a New Ingredient of the Week--

garam masala


Smells heavenly!  It's a mixture of toasted spices, commonly turmeric, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds and cadamom pods.  Choose your colors on the peppercorns, cumin and cardamom.  I have all of these ingredients separately but putting them together and toasting them would be a pain.

Oddly enough, the recipe added cumin along with curry powder and coriander.  I wonder how differently it would taste with different flavors of garam masala.  I wonder if I could even tell the difference.
