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 Philiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603497705837860896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812479.post-50414259812166398982008-02-21T17:57:00.003-05:002008-12-11T21:33:39.626-05:00Lunar Eclipse, 20th February 2008, from Druid backyard.Click on image to see a gif animation.Philiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603497705837860896noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812479.post-46249377891746494652008-02-10T17:26:00.000-05:002008-12-11T21:33:40.098-05:00This 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.

Had a nice pre-Christmas dinner over in the Valley - the predicted snow didn't hit our area, though the Richmond area evidently got a thunder snow shower of about an inch. I cooked the turkey breast, but Philiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603497705837860896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812479.post-1097157280281956672004-10-07T08:46:00.000-05:002004-10-07T08:54:40.280-05:00New Fall 2004 Semester
Ah, another new semester and another trip to the Madison South Asia conference coming up. So far I've done 4 ENWR classes/sessions, pretty interesting topics. Yesterday's was on the American Dream related to work, wages, etc.
I've been enjoying reading books, ficition, for the first time in almost 30 years, since I joined or started an reading club in May 2004.

Seems like most of the stuff I'm doing is pretty normal, though some of it is very interesting? Also what MUSIC have you listened to in the last couple of years, that's been exiting to you, that you've gone out and bought or wished you had bought.

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.
