Ladled

The first time I made  Spicy chicken legs  for a guest, I learnt very late that he stopped being a non-vegetarian. But me and my roommate enjoyed it. Recently I made it again, ad all the guests liked it. The secret - black pepper and hot and sweet chili sauce. After cooking, when I was eating the leftovers, the curry leaf infused fat reminded me of a fish pickle I had 13 years ago. Since this marinade, worked so well that I dug into the burnt part too, I found what to do with the chicken skin, we were storing. The curry absorbs this marinade very well.

This  Semolina sooji idli  sounded interesting.  After making it, when I shared it with neighbours, they said that they have tried rava idli but never with semiya. I tastes almost like upma - more like the sweet version.

Yesterday we had impromptu dinner at neighbours. They made  Gongura royyalu koora , whic I have never had before. The sorrel leaves were form heir gardener, but the host told us before hand that they didnt have the tang. For that and growing wild reason, they are now banned from their garden. They used Costco shrimp with tails cut off. Talking about garden growing wild, a colleague told me about how you have to watch the  bamboo rhizome  or it will go out of control. Here I'm thinking, why dont the indoor bamboo have some of that vigor and stick it out another round.

A friend made  Fudgy Chocolate Brownies  with 1/2 stick of butter, instead of 1 as the recipe called ou. And still the chocolate wins the day.

Yesterday we went to the  Chuck Wagon Cook-Off . There we had some  Safari Samosas . The crust is not as crispy as the Punjabi samosa. A wagon ride took us to the  Arizona Railway museum .
