A Few Tidbits
My retroactive New Year's resolutions for 2009 were to make beer, cider, cheese, and BBQ sauce at home. (We were a bit late with the cheese, but still.) My retroactive resolutions for 2010 was to get engaged. I mean, I'll probably do other things, but this is still pretty beg.
Also, have I written about cooking recently? No? Aiight, so I made Lamb Rogan Josh last Saturday. Let me say first that Indian food is a pain in the ass. I found a recipe for lentils at Salon that is pretty amazing, and that leaves your kitchen pretty thrashed. For lentils.
So the lamb involves about an hour of fairly labor intensive cooking, including blending garlic and ginger into a paste, and stirring yogurt into the sauce a tablespoon at a time. Then everything simmers for another hour. The end result is chunks of lamb in a thick, brown-red sauce. I thought it was pretty damn skippy, although I'd like to try again now that I know what in the hell I'm doing. And when I don't mind thrashing the kitchen.
