Banquet for Kendra, poppadum's with mint riata and mango chutney and bhajis and samosas. Fried fish in Gram flour with tomato curry and spicy rice and lentil followed by Goan fish curry with chili and coriander nan breads. Then we had a very small slice of carrot pudding. Wont need to cook tomorrow just reheat the leftovers (not that much as will take a bit for lunch tomorrow) . I was well pleased with how it came out, tom curry was nice and spicy, and fish curry nice and creamy. batter didn't stick to the fried fish , maybe I should have floured the fish bits first?       

Wet won't stick to wet, so yes, flour goes against the fish. I usually season the fish, dredge it in flour, then straight to the hot oil. Flour dredge gives a beautiful colour without a heavy batter. It's New England Style, sorta like Olde England, but Newe. 

Hugs, Devlyn

Wow, lots of yummy things happening here for Thanksgiving! Yesterday, a friend came over and we prepped for a Thanksgiving potluck at our local LGBT center. It was my first time roasting a whole turkey--and I'm glad to report that it was a big success! I also made lemon bars the night before and brought them to the potluck. No turkey and only a couple lemon bars left over. I only brought the carved meat to the potluck, so right now I am simmering my turkey carcass for stock and soup. I think I will make some Turkey matzo ball soup.

Davina, carrot pudding got my interest. I've never heard of carrot pudding. Is it savory or do you make it sweet?

I was going to take a picture of my bacon wrapped turkey before I carved it. I had it on the counter resting for 30 minutes before cutting into it. When I took the foil off of it half the bacon was already gone. Sigh....

sweet, 450 grams carrots grated, 900ml milk and 450 grams sugar cooked till all the moisture has gone (says 1.5 hrs in recipe but takes ages) then 50grams of butter and 25 grams sultanas  , fry for20 mins stirring all the time or it will stick (how do I know!!) add ground cardamom seeds from 6 pods and stir. smooth out in serving dish and put 25 grams each of blanched sliced almonds and chopped pistachios.

I take it that Kendra will be going on a diet when she returns home!!

[Kendra]

Yeah they won't let me bring a treadmill onto the plane, especially in coach. 
And what am I having for dinner next?  Whatever the airline dishes out.

Oh no!!! Everyone knows not to mess with my food before I get a chance to take a picture (I send them to my mom who is a big foodie), or they will end up staring down the business end of my chef's knife!

[davina61]

Left over fish curry and rice and there's still a bit for work tomorrow!!!!!!!! Will have to have it cold as don't wont to risk reheating it again

I made turkey soup but since everyone is pretty much on turkey overload I froze it and made chili for dinner with cheese popovers.

That happens a lot to my food. But I usually don't bother much with presentation. It's a waste of time to make it look pretty.  Kind of like spending an hour sculpting meat into a pretty design and then throwing it to a couple of Rottweilers.

Not technically dinner,  but I just took a batch of cinnamon buns out of the oven, house smells yummy!

Some in flight dinners aren't too bad, I hear the airlines have a competition going with the hospitals

I kept it simple tonight.
Tilapia fillet in a lemon butter and garlic sauce with a baked potato and fresh salad.

[davina61]

That didn't look like food to me, more like the pealing's I threw in the bin tonight!!! Made a Keema and froze 1/2 and had cauliflower and potatoes indian style with it .

I wasn't able to toss Gü out the window, it wouldn't roll down.
