Okay, well, I love reading your posts mostly because they’re so often all over the place, and I mean that in the best way. I want to say something about spitting and hitting a gifted child, but it won’t come out right. See? It didn’t.

Okay, sacrilege to someone who likes to create their own masterpieces (I do) but Trader Joe’s makes a great Masala sauce. That’s all I’m going to say.

IMO, Ghee is the key to flavorful vegetarian. Or clarified butter if you can’t find ghee (melt the butter, skim the foam, pour through cheesecloth to remove the butter solids). Cooks at a higher temp without browning.

Also peanut oil. Stay away from olive or vegetable oil. Makes a world of difference.

A second call for the pattern and yarn info! I am all about knitting the hats these days (right -for spring, but whatever, I’ll be all set for next year).
Cook Book recommendation:
Madhur Jaffrey – she’s got several different Indian food cookbooks and at least two vegeterian ones (maybe not limited to Indian food – might be more broadly Asian). I did not find the one my husband used to have – it had a recipe for mung beans and coconut milk and I think spinach and tomato – it coined the phrase in our house “I really like the fresh ingredients” which we now apply as a sort of inside joke/line whenever we make something good and fresh!

Confront, confront, confront! It’s like curry for the soul.

If you do the Indian Julie & Julia thing, maybe they’ll make a Bollywood movie about you. You’ll get to wear lots of colorful scarves to the premiere. I’m so there. (Wearing fewer scarves, in deference.)
