How much do you spend on food?

What america spends on groceries. We are trailing close with a close 8% and this does not include the 10% on restaurant.
In Telugu, there's a saying 'koti vidyalu kuti korake'. A crore of knowledge/skills are for feeding your stomach. But we dont just work for food. In my Halcyon Days (but I mean youth), I used to think I could survive on bread and how much will bread cost? But now I know, its hard enough to eat even a palak aloo curry if we have to eat it continuously like Groundhog Day torture.

What a beautiful myth of Alcyone! And the colours of the Halcyon bird.

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
