Southern (Indian) Thanksgiving
Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.
Finding the Best Way to Cook All Those Vegetables
Finding the Best Way to Cook All Those Vegetables From the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/20/health/nutrition/20well.html?th&emc=th By TARA PARKER-POPE Published: May 20, 2008 By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables.

i really don't have the time to blog tonight. i like to get plenty of sleep and wake up quite early (before 5am), so i don't always have too much time after work for recreational activities. i had made up my mind to cook a really cool-sounding recipe that i had come across recently, so i cooked it and took photos and thought i would probably get around to the blog post this weekend.

A new year's resolution..adopt a new food!
I decided that over Christmas that I would "adopt" a new fruit and vegetable that I haven't eaten much of, find one I liked and incorporate into my weekly diet. These two little stars are low-calorie, packed with vitamins and flavour, and are (like most produce) not that expensive if you keep your eyes sharp. Soo without further adieu: The veggie is definitely celeriac (Inspired by the need to make a last-minute substitution to Christmas dinner...ending up in a "celeriac" gravy and dressing addition that worked out so awesomely..damn this stuff is good!Beijing Farm Tour

Rabid's Homemade Tomato and Carrot Soup
One thing I have noticed about living in different countries is what is easy to find and inexpensive in one place, may not be in another.
While in the UK and USA, cream of tomato soup is pretty easy to find pre-made and inexpensive, I find it is not the case in the smallish town where I live in Finland. Prepackaged soup (not powdered) is not necessarily that cheap.
