A curry and a cake

One of the times that I was changing a diaper I saw some black print of numbers. In disbelief I looked at an unused diaper and it really is from a diaper stack arranged numerically. Why would diapers need to be numbered? For production inventory sake, would it not be enough to know that a box contains so many and so many boxes have been shipped.
Today, I took out Basha's milk gallon and saw 490 on the can. wondering if it was just this, I found a 492 on another can. whats disconcerting about numbers? A while ago, we were unhappy when our company started issuing usernames based on employee id. A number is just a sequence. Is it because of that predictability that if you are 101 then there's a 100 before you and 101 before you that we dont like about it? If you are Nathan, no one cn guess who's before or after you. Your name is almost unique but so is the number and some more.
while wishing to learn more of the milk carton reckoning, I came across Shamrock's to go organic milk and some recipes. Am I craving for recipes. my usual sources for books and recipes are all running dry. kind of like when you dont use the natural stuff , it falls into disuse. Imagine my horror when the 'new nonfiction' section that I go to in the library is non-existent. The assistant says that may be they were all issued or its been 6 weeks/months and they were moved to the 'no-longer new' stacks. And womansday has stopped considering cakes as desserts.
Still I found Farmers cake interesting. It led me to a Dutch recipesite. I am interested in Viennese deserts after the Viennese Brownies.
Grandmas warm milk cake seems like a breeze. I have never made plantain curry. One of these days, it just flashed that I should make it. Till research finds otherwise lets enjoy some spice. But on cake we have to wait for research on its health benefits.

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
