Gratuitous Spice Shot

... variation on a theme

Day one of The Week of Adventurous Cooking kicked off with a kind of tribute to AlwaysWandering: homemade Indian food (including a spinach/cheese dish with freshly made paneer, dal, chapatis, and saffron rice).

It's strangely nice to spend the afternoon grinding spices and watching bad TV.

I finished it early, but kept it warm until RachelsMom arrived for a brief respite on her Northern trek.

Tomorrow promises to be fun: pre-Trek Shatner and Thai food.
