Oooh... this is making me hungry despite the warring forces of chicken tikka masala, potato samosa, and laem baked chicken that are currently at war in my guts. :x

Ohhhh I want chicken tikka masala! I just ate a chicken basil garlic sausage braised in the Worst Beer On Earth, Old German. It's fine for braising though.

Roast cabbage salad:

1/2 cabbage, cored

Bacon

Put cabbage in baking dish and bacon on cabbage. Roast until cabbage is more or less cooked and bacon is fairly dried out. Remove from oven; allow to cool until it can be comfortably handled. Remove & mince bacon. Sprinkle with salt and balsamic vinegar, chop, serve sprinkled with minced bacon.

Thanks! It was fan-fucking-tastic, and the best part was that it was so simple and took so little time or attention.

Male Offspring: What's for dinner tonight?
Me: Pork roast and baked mashed potatoes.
MO, eyes round: Baked mashed potatoes??
Me: Yes. Do you like them?
MO: Never had 'em. Add cheese. (turns back to computer)
Me: Hmmmmmm...

They were really good, with the cheese.

I don't usually tell my family what they're having for dinner, since a lot of times it's too hard to explain. But they seem to eat most of it anyway. :lol:

Add some chicken stock and potatoes and take out the balsamic vinegar and this is the cabbage dish I serve with  my corned beef for St. Paddy's day feasting.  Very cool.

I have a gallon-size pickle jar and a craving for kim chee. Since the closest place to my house that sells good kim chee is still not actually very close to my house, my plan is to put that pickle jar to use in making some, as it is an irresistible godly elixir. The pickle jar still has some pickles in it (although not for long, as they have proved popular among the smaller members of my household), so I am going to start with a small, quart-sized batch in a canning jar.

I can't believe I have to wait two days to eat it. :(

HEY NIGEL

I made your roasted cabbage with bacon and it was really tasty.

Yay!

Tonight; chicken vindaloo (this will be my second attempt, the first was quite good) and saag aloo (aka aloo palak), which is spinach and potatoes.

Saag Aloo:

A 16-oz bag of frozen spinach (fresh is fine, just more expensive)
2 cloves chopped garlic
About 2 TBSP fresh ginger, chopped
One chopped onion
One chopped Serrano pepper (with seeds)
Four medium potatoes, cubed
1 teaspoon turmeric
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
salt

Cube the potatoes and parboil (about 10 minutes) with the turmeric and some salt.

Melt 2 TBSP butter in a pan and add the ginger, onions, serrano, and garlic. Saute on med-hi heat until the onions start to brown. Add the spinach and heat thoroughly. Briefly process in food processor or blender (if you don't have one, chop everything really finely before you start, then dump it into a bowl to free the pan for the next step)

Melt the other 2 TBSP of butter in your pan, add cumin seeds and heat until they start to crackle, then return your spinach mixture to the pan and add the garam masala, coriander and cumin.

Drain the potatoes and add them to the spinach mixture. If it's too thick to simmer without scorching, add a bit of water, but not enough to make it soupy. Simmer for 20 minutes or so.

stir in the yogurt and serve it with naan or basmati rice. Or both.

Oh god that sounds delicious.  *drool*

Working on the vindaloo now, but I'll wait to write it up until I know it's good. It SMELLS good.
