Halloween 2012

At least 5 trick or treaters this year - zero last year. They came to the back door - four were racoons, eating the treat of sunflower seeds they spilled out of a closed bucket they opened, while the fifth one (a fox!) joined in, picking and gobbling down the treat. I tricked them by opening the back door and shouting at them, as they scurried away. But when they came back, Deej really tricked them off with a party - popper. Bang!  Happy Halloween all.

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...
