I had some won ton wrappers left over from making Damsel's shrimp

shrimp, scallions, garlic, and a little bit of hoisin sauce.
Shallow-fried them because the oil smell doesn't quite fill the house
as much that way. Also made shrimp fried rice, so it was a
shrimp-a-licious dinner, and we liked it a lot.

Went to a friends place for dinner........

Started the night with a bottle of Kirkton Vale 2004 Chardonnay
Semillion with nibblies of marinated baby octopus, kalamata olives, a
King Island Blue Brie and a Jindi Brie. (The olives were theirs, the
rest was mine!!)

Mains was beef stroganoff with pasta, a lovely tossed salad, fresh baked
dinner rolls and a couple of bottles of 2003 Margaret River Shiraz.

Dessert was home made Mango icecream, sliced fresh pears and a baked
vanilla custard.

Throw in a very eclectic stimulating conversation, and it was a damn
good night!!

groan....I didn't......see my post about the Mother's day picnic we
had.....I nibbled all day long and ate too much........it's been 41/2
hours since the festival ended and I'm still full........

of cuorse, smoewhere around midnight, i'm sure we'll end up ordering a
pizza! gag- after all that cheese today - maybe not. but thre's no
chinese delivery after 10 PM and its akmost 11 already. so maybe a
midnight forage through the fridge. I could do an omelette with all the
leftover veggies in the fridge.

I've made home made potato sticks from Idaho Potatoes which are soaking in
ice water as we speak. I'm grilling hot dogs (sorta kinda recipe below).
Besides the fries I shredded a small head of cabbage and made a simple
sweet and sour viniagrette dressing. I've got some potatoe salad and some
egg salad in the fridge if we want a midnight snack. The SO is working
late tonight.

HONEST ABE'S CORN RELISH HOT DOG TOPPING

Yield: 1½ cups

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 cup extra-sweet corn kernels, fresh cooked or frozen and thawed
½ cup grape or cherry tomatoes, cut into small pieces
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1/8 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper

Whip oil and vinegar together in a medium bowl. Season with salt and
freshly ground black pepper.
Stir in corn, tomatoes, onion and basil. Cover and chill.
Spoon 2 tablespoons corn relish atop cooked hot dogs in a heated bun.

Ramp Ciabatta
(I forgot the baker .. from the Minneapolis Midtown Farmer's Market)

Butter Beans braised in chicken stock

Mixed Spring Greens with Shallot-Mustard Dressing
(as usual ... the kids demand it.)

Chicken in Garlic and Shallots (from Alton Brown's first book.)

Scalloped Turnips
from http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001877scalloped_turnips.php

Bucheron Bourgon (aged goat cheese)

Delicato Pinot Grigio

The chicken won raves. The beans were ... OK. The turnips were liked ...
by those who tried them... The Cheese was sublime. We adults thought it
was a singular dining moment such as rarely happens in life. I'm not given
to hyperbole. The cheese was truly great! All-in-all a very fine dinner.

Take a right and go 'til you hit Oakland, darlin'. We're waiting for

eager to meet your family.

Sounds so yummy. But then I could eat sour cream from the carton.
Mmmmmmmmm.

I have four house guests, and I made Indian food:

Potato-and-Pea Samosas
Curried Shrimp Samosas

"Volcanic" (spicy carrot-lentil) dipping sauce
Cilantro Chutney
Tamarind Chutney
Cucumber-and-mint Raita

Garlic Naan
Basmati Rice with Lemon Zest, Cardamom, and Cloves

Mattar Paneer (Homemade cheese curd and peas in a spiced tomato sauce)
Rogan Josh (Lamb with yogurt, tomatoes, and spices)
Vindaloo (Goan-style Hot & Sour Pork)

Sweet Rosewater Lassi
Mango Lassi
Iced Chai Tea

When we were done eating, I went to work (which is where I am now), leaving
THEM to do the dishes! They're marathon-watching Season 1 of "24" on DVD,
so all the leftovers will probably be gone by the time I get home.

Roast lamb, boned and rolled saddle thereof with garlic and rosemary
gravy. Baked potatoes, zapped brussells sprouts and tomato and onion pie
(which is actually layered tomato and onion topped with breadcrumbs and
baked). Followed by a rather nice bit of South Cape brie. Wine was a
semillon blanc, but don't ask me the maker I rarely remember.

Ohmygawd. You're killing me. Recipes please?

It'll take a while to type everything up, but I'll post a bunch of
individual recipes rather than one mega-post. I didn't follow any recipe
for the rice; I just put rice, water, salt, cardamom, and cloves into my
rice cooker and let it work its magic, then sprinkled with microplane-grated
lemon zest when it was done.

I'll consolidate the two samosa recipes, since the only difference is the
filling. I'll also consolidate the lassi recipes and the chutney recipes.
And since garam masala is used in a couple places, I'll start off by posting
a recipe for it.

I wait with bated breath and truly appreciate it! I am already
salivating and imagining putting together your recipes into a wonderful
meal myself.

It wasn't as good as Barb Schaller's corn relish. Gawd, the last jar she
sent me barely made it out of the shipping container before I ate it all.
Right out of the jar.

Since DH is in Sweden on business, the past week has been casual dining
for me. Last night was a turkey bacon, tomato, and avocado sandwich on
toasted oat bread, and it was delicious.

Reality begins again tomorrow with something like grilled pork chops,
salad, and asparagus, I think, or maybe Italian sausage with aglio e
olio pasta, and the same vegetables.
