My 100th Post!

And what am I going to do to commemorate it? I'm going to tell you about our Ethnic Market haul.

At the Indian Market:

- Rose water

- Ribena

- Rose petal spread

- Smarties

- Bueno Bar

Total: 14.50

At the Asian Market:

- Six different Mi Goreng meals

- A box of oolong

- Soba noodles

- A bakery-fresh bean bun

- A bakery-fresh pork bun

- A bakery-fresh purple yam bun

- Two different kinds of aloe drink

- Young coconut juice

- Roasted coconut juice

- A huge tub of miso

Total: 20$

Excellent.

And we ate at India's Restaurant, and tonight we're eating home-made beuff bourgignon, and I'll have posts of those excellent meals later. Now, I'm exhausted and I need a nap.

Happy 100th Post!

tandoori chicken

We had these packs of tandoori sauce mix that H had picked up at the Indian market, and we were low on foods, so he decided to make them. I slivered the chicken-- a few boneless breasts-- and he marinated them in the mix, lemon and lime juice and some cider vinegar (because we didn't have as much juice as the recipe called for), and sour cream (because we didn't have the plain yogurt the recipe called for). An hour or so later, he made little tandoors out of tin foil, and baked the chicken in the packets. Then he steamed edamame, and made rice with a bullion cube, black pepper and cilantro, and we ate it all together.

It was delicious. Spicy, but not too hot to eat, filling in small amounts, and good for us.
