Yay food

hitchhiker, your palak paneer is a massive hit here at my parents' house. We've made about seven batches of it so far (two double batches and a triple).

_opus_ and bearly_here, your wine was a massive hit, too, and it's now gone. :-)

And my mom likes my asparagus soup. (My dad hates asparagus. More for meeeee, ha-haaa!)

today's adventure in food - roommate and i had a sudden craving for kebabs, and we vowed not to go to bed without having made some. so we went to the indian store and bought spice mixes, and to sears and bought a magic bullet, and home, where we already had mince. took from 9:15 to 11:30, was totally worth it. pretty simple, too. but the takeaway is it's *totally* worth doing the extra pass of the mince through a grinder of some sort after doing the initial cooking. i'll come over some day and show you how to make them :)

AFTER doing the initial cooking? That might have been my problem when I made lamb/onion/mint kebabs; I tried to grind it extra fine BEFORE, and all it did was gum up the works. (I don't have a true meat grinder. I have a food processor. Not the right tool for the job to begin with.)
