Philip's

Snowed overnight, with the city plow leaving big chuncks in our parking spot, all up the street on the north side.

Supposedly Matt's coming to put the kitchen cabinet back in, thus we are staying home this Friday; but he had a FedEx truck blocking his drive way. Don't know when he will come.

Did some shoveling, pant, pant.

Made air plane reservations to go to Florida to see dad, sisters and all, the second week of Jan 2004.

2004 is coming up soon!

Babur's supper - Mughal feasts, food, cuisine I'm interested in Indian food, especially food from historic times, like the Mughal's. So, I'm going to experiment and cook some of the recipes from Salma Husain's The Emperor's Table (2008. ISBN: 8174364536) . We start with two recipes from the time of Emperor Babur (1494-1530), Karam Dulma or Stuffed Cabbage Rolls and Kyulcha or Spicy Wholewheat Baked Bread . I cooked these last night, Saturday the 5th of Februray 2011. I write a narrative of the details of making these below. Overall? Very interesting tastes. I'd give the Karam Dulma an A- rating, while the bread or Kyulcha gets a B- or even C- rating. Very heavy food. I should have been content to eat just one of the Cabbage Rolls, but they were so, so good, rich, flavorful, juicy. And the bread turned out more like a stiff, spicy pie crust - don't know what's going on with that, but I have some suggestions (below). (See Picasa photo album

This morning Deej's friend's guys came and cut up one downed rotted maple, and then fell a second rotted one, sawed it up, and took it all away in two hauls in about 2 hours - fast work, and pretty cheaply - boy, am I glad to have that over. We've continued to have high winds all day long, but no further big trees knocked over. Here's how the back yard looked, the day after the high winds on the 26th December 2007: And here's a composite photo from today: Here's a little 31 second video of cutting down the dead tree: also at Google Video
