So, other than trying not to die on the road, yesterday was pretty fun. Went thrift-store shopping with Bruce. Found a kick-ass pair of boots (good spottin', Bruce!). Picked up lots of books, and had fun trying on dresses that I'll never wear.

Stopped for dinner at Top of India on the way home. Pretty disappointing, really. the food was acceptable, but I can get better than acceptable food at home. Eating out should be really damn good food, or stuff that's too hard/time consuming to bother making it at home. Wish Cedars was closer, we could go get really good Indian. Service was cheerful and the one girl was lech-worthy though. So was her friend who came in to pick her up.

Also, today Bruce made me chocolate covered mangoes. Delicious!

So at the suggestion of a friend, I varied up something I'd made before...and by golly he was right. Thanks [livejournal.com profile] mercaptan

Sautee onion in butter, add tandoori spices (cumin, chillies, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, etc). Then add more cinnamon. Cubed chicken (or paneer, or whatever other protein source you prefer). He suggested wine, but I had none. So I threw in mango yogurt (which has a very mellowing effect on the spices, so you may need to add more than expected). And add corn--this part was also suggested by [livejournal.com profile] mercaptan, and surprised me with how good it was.

Serve with rice, of course.
