Emperor Bahadur Shah's feast

Emperor Bahadur Shah's feast of lamb mince with rice and gram pulao and besani bread, the Mughal feast #7 on 27 May 2012. The last Mughal emperor, and the last emperor's feast cooked in this experimental series of 'old' Indian food.

For the last Mughal feast or #7 I cooked 3 recipes on Sunday evening on the 27th of May 2012 for Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar from Aurangzeb's and Bahadur Shah's sections in the S. Husain "Emperor's Table". The three recipes were
1. Rice and Bengal Gram Pulao or "Qubooli" (from Aurangzeb's section)
2. Lamb Mince with Pistachios or "Piston Ka Keema" (Bahadur Shah's section) and
3. Unlevened Gram Flour Bread or "Besani Roti" (als Bahadur Shah's section)

Here's are photos of the ingredients lined up -

Above is first for Pulao, then for Lamb Mine, and lst for Besani bread.

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

Hard? in the time of Covid

When will it be over? This pandemic or time of Covid is hard - changing routines, meetings, work, places to go, people to meet - all a little or a lot different. Haven't seen my Charlottesville families for almost 2 years (except for the 3 holidays) - feel isolated. Luckily being with Deej helps - daily walks and 15 minute meditation, food, shopping. Deej has been making supper almost every night - because of her Crohn's disease, we have changed to foods which she can eat. She's taken up and added serious daily exercises. Online is nice in some ways - being able to do work from home is nice - though I had a work computer crash once already and the laptop has not fully recovered. And it's hard not to be face to face with other workers, especially liaisons. Zoom is nice, but also not the same - connections are not close, not complete, cold. Kara helped send infected Kerchof Hall library books to her freezer and they are just now (mid-Feb 2022) okay to send
