You find the neatest things to photograph, Kate! I love the embellishments on old buildings; when I was in Chicago I developed a semi-permanent crick in my neck from trying to take in all the wonderful Art Deco flourishes.
Keep those photos comin’!
I love this image. I kinds went nutso photographing gargoyles in Ireland the last time I was there.
If you ever get time in Los Angeles, take the Art Deco downtown walking tour. There are some REALLY spectacular buildings to see.
I’m trying to recreate a dish I used to make all. the. time. It’s a small chicken basically roasted in tomato sauce with tons of garlic and garam masala … and something else. I can’t remember what.
In any case, the house smells great and hopefully the chicken will be worth it.
None of those. It’s not sweet or even Indian-ish. It’s just that I discovered some years ago that garama masala and tomato sauces make heavenly chicken, but I don’t remember what else went into ti! It was something beefy in the sense of being more like bay??? maybe even horror of horrors something like capers because I was very big into capers back then but I’m pretty sure my favorite caper dish was something else.
Oh, oh, oh! I used to make a chicken dish with onions, capers, garlic, bay and tomato sauce. It was more Moroccan in style. Lots of olive oil and spices. Maybe this is the direction?
I just got a jar of Mezzetta capers today. They are the best and I have tried alot of capers. I put them in a good bit of stuff.
What about zucchini? Could that be your ingredient?

Hi everyone.
I lost my internet connection nearly two weeks ago but after many phone calls and resorting to tears, I am back up. I needed a new modem and this one is so fast!
Two nights ago, I went for dinner with friends and had a wonderful steak burrito with green chile sauce. It was delicious!
About an hour after arriving home, I got so sick. The next day I was too sick to get to the doctors but around 7pm I walked down to see him. I had no sleep the night before and the cramps were horrible! He gave me medicine but I did not sleep last night either.
My cleaning lady arrived this afternoon and cleaned. An hour later she came here with some wonderful vegetable soup and a hot drink that tastes awful, but I trust her judgement. She called it something like touca.
Such a nice gesture. I hope I sleep well tonight.
I sure have missed you all.
Mango, querida! I am so pleased to see you, but I’m sorry to hear you’ve been so ill, dear heart!
I hope that your cleaning lady’s home remedy helps you. I always find that te de manzanilla is very good at settling a rum tummy. Get well soon.
That must have been what it was. The doc said to drink guyaba but I only bought two bottles and drank it last night. I think that I am off to bed. I sure hope to sleep tonight!
Oh, Mango, we really missed you. I hope your cleaning lady’s remedy helps. I wish I could bring you some chicken soup. I like chamomile tea or peppermint tea for me. Yogurt is also good for a sick tummy.
Glad you got your connection back. I hate that.
It’s good. Not what I used to make, but similar. But it’s been ten years since I made this regularly – it’ll take a while for the memory of it to churn up to the top.

This one’s an older image. Next time I am downtown I will try to get a better one with the newer camera.
It’s gorgeous, as usual!

Ginger? Cardamon? Coriander? Onions? Curry leaves? Tumeric?

More that direction, but with garam masala.
Maybe it was capers? Hmmm …

mango, we missed you! I was getting ready to call out the Cavalry. I thought maybe you’d run off with your friend in the picture.
Sounds like you got a touch of food poisoning or the dreaded Stomach Virus ::shudder:: Glad you feel better and you have a new modem!

Scotia, I dropped just a couple of capers in – maybe 5-6 – but the chicken was already done, so I served myself some.
Close. Very close. But very yummy. Mmmmm, tomato and garam masala: yum.
Is my mouth watering, yes! Do I want to find Biscuit’s house, yes! Grrrrrr!

It’s nap worthy good!
You are driving me crazy! I have to remember my recipe for Moroccan Chicken! It was really good. Grrrr!
