Ideal Indian Wife Practice - Take 2

I never really cared for my time at the Academy, but it did bring me some really great things like my friends. And one of those friends, Rani, would introduce me to South Indian food. One of my favorite dishes was sambar. And for Take 2 of Ideal Indian Wife Practice, P practiced making sambar with dosa. I am so lucky.

She also heated up some samosas with 2 different chutneys. One was coriander (did you know that coriander is cilantro?) and I can't remember what the other one was and I am too lazy to go downstairs and look in the fridge to see.

Like last time, P's sambar was terrible. And to be sure it was terrible, I had seconds and took some to lunch. And I don't recommend trying to eat drumsticks while working. It's pretty difficult. P's going to need a lot more practice if she's going to be an ideal Indian wife.

Celebrating Fat Tuesday

This is how we at the Part-Time Animal House (yup, still open to suggestions for House names...) celebrate Fat Tuesday: We make food.

This gumbo was made by PP aka Pooki using a recipe from Cooking Light Soup. She added some extras like kale (the new spinach) and crawfish. And instead of using red snapper, she substituted it with tilapia. The gumbo was pretty fantastic. Recipes are available upon request.

P.S. Don't judge my bowls. They are fine china! 1 five piece set of this Mikasa Currents fine china set is selling for $60 on Ebay. I'm going to make a fortune when I sell them!
