Well, Rob and Jean, you aren't much help! I was checking on this for ideas myself. I might make those meatballs in the paprika sauce that Daphne chose for her b'day dinner in Feb. I absolutely loved them. Or maybe my old standby, the spinach fetuccine with greek tomato salsa. Hmmmm, what am I in the mood for??

I'm baking cod with buttered bread crumbs, homemade mac and cheese, and broccoli. Good ol' comfort food for a rainy, dreary day. We're even going to have dessert tonight. My favorite ice cream shop has pumpkin ice cream this week. Yummm....

Jean! You crack me up! You ask about this everytime I mention it. It is from the Cuisine For Two, Simple, Healthy and Delicious cookbook. The actual title is salt and pepper tofu with spinach fettuccine and tomato oregano salsa. I often skip the tofu and serve it with grilled chicken or schnitzel. If you don't have the book, I can post the recipe.

Pumpkin-pie ice cream is wonderful. A creamery in Pottstown, PA used to sell that, and it was one of my favourites of theirs. The other was their black-raspberry ice cream.

Sorry, Theresa. Just did some searching, as well. Definitely making something with chicken. Considered Jean's coffee/cinnamon rub, but my taste buds keep telling me "curry, curry, curry," so I think I'll make some kind of chicken curry or vindaloo. Right now, this looks like the recipe I'll try, but I'm not sure about getting fenugreek seeds here. I used to have that in the States, but can't find it now. I know the stores, here, don't sell it in the regular spice aisle, but I believe I've seen it in a section for herbal teas. Chicken VindalooIngredients:- 2 Tsp whole cumin seeds
- 1 Tsp black peppercorns
- 1 Tsp cardamom seeds
- 4 Inches stick cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tsp (rounded) whole black mustard seeds
- 1 Tsp whole fenugreek seeds
- 5 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 Tsp salt
- 1 Tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 Tsp light brown sugar
- 2/3 Cup vegetable oil
- 2 large yellow onions, peeled and cut into half-rings
- 6 Tbsp + 2 Tsp water
- 3/4 Inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 8-10 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 Tbsp ground coriander seeds
- 1/2 Tsp ground turmeric
- 2 Lb boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Cup tomato sauce
- 9 Oz new potatoes, peeled and quartered
Instructions:For the vindaloo paste
- Grind cumin seeds, black pepper, cardamom seeds, cinnamon, black mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds together in a spice grinder. In a small bowl, combine ground spices, vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Fry onions, stirring frequently, until they are a rich, dark brown. Remove onions with a slotted spoon and put them in a blender. Turn off the heat, but do not discard the oil. Add 3 Tbsp + 1 Tsp water (or more if necessary) to the onions and blend until you have a smooth paste. Add this onion paste to the spices in the bowl.
Assembly:
- Put the ginger and garlic in a blender. Add 3 Tbsp + 1 Tsp water and blend until you have a smooth paste.
- Heat the remaining oil in the saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the ginger!garlic paste. Stir until the paste browns slightly. Add the coriander and turmeric. Stir a few seconds. Add the chicken, a little at a time, and brown lightly.
- Add the vindaloo paste, tomato sauce and potatoes to the chicken in the saucepan. Stir and bring to a slight boil.
- Cover the saucepan, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about an hour, or until potatoes are tender.
- Serve over rice.
