Grilled tomatoes

tasted good with rice. The salad with its sauce was enough to accompany rice. I have a knack of choosing dry dishes when i eat Chinese or Vietnamese. While reading Chinese cooking, I went duh! if you have to eat with chopsticks then you will not want to pick up sauce with it.
At the Middle eastern store. I found green beans. There was Turkish delight there, with citric acid in ingredients. I was wondering until then, what  might those piles of citric acid be used for? There were bags of dry lemons for which I knew no use of until this article. moghrabieh, a Lebanese product caught my attention too. they reminded me of hand made pearls of dough made in our homes during Vinayaka Chathurthi. When I saw a Lebanese cooking book, I wanted an image. My finger was on Laban immo. Meat looked white washed in yogurt.
We bought bulgur,couscous, vernicelli thin long semiyan as a bad substitute for pheni.

Fregula looks like Lebanese couscous, Moghrabieh but its baked. I came across Fregula in Michaels genuine food. I went through this book before, but it didnt catch my attention then. Today I had Manaeesh Zataar. We had Indian Fry Bread at Halloween Carnival. A little girl in a mermaid dress said," Hi, hows my costume?' .
You look very good.
The best costune I remember is an old lady in a bathrobe with a befitting mask, a butcher's knife in her hand and house slippers. I almost mistook the costumed for an old lady.
We were early for a better parking space. seeing no signs of carnival, we followed a trio - a mom, a kid in a black overall with a candy pail and grey face. We were led to the other end of the park. We saw kids in costumes like elephant,cop,petal skirt..
when we had enough, we had to walk all the way back. an earnest old couple asked us about the party. We told them that there lay some distance ahead of them. When we reached the car, we found a family with dressed up kids who needed to be told to drive to the other end of the park.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
