You Put The Lamb In the Coconut And Stir It All Up!

You Put The Lamb In the Coconut And Stir It All Up! by kathy gori

Remember that old song lyric by Nilsson, "the lime in the coconut"??? In my opinion, there is nothing that doesn't go better with coconut. Lime, more coconut, lamb, whatever. I love my coconut. Maybe it was a lack of Peter Paul Mounds growing up as a kid. My mother doesn't like coconut, therefore none of us liked it either. That's…

Ice Cream, The Orange Blossom Special!

Ice Cream, The Orange Blossom Special! by kathy gori

Who doesn't love the smell of orange blossoms, the one flower that's almost a metaphor for romance. I wore orange blossoms in my hair when I got married. As for ice cream, do we really need to go there? I love vanilla, well, hell I love all ice cream but I really love vanilla with some sort of twist. I find ice cream is a great way…

Little Lamb Korma Who Made Thee....

Little Lamb Korma Who Made Thee.... by kathy gori

I love lamb. That wasn't always the case. I went from eating lots of lamb as a kid, usually roasted in the Italian style with garlic and rosemary. Also usually roasted in my mothers' style until it was a uniform drab overcooked grey. I won't even go into the vegetables that came along with this dish. Many years passed where I didn't…

Meatless And Heatless, Raw Foods Are Cool, Literally. An Easy Summer Salad!

Meatless And Heatless, Raw Foods Are Cool, Literally. An Easy Summer Salad! by kathy gori

Even though it's Wednesday I can't stop thinking about Meatless Monday. One factor that's got me thinking about it is the approach of warmer weather though one would hardly guess it from the way things look around here. Just as I was about to step…

Green Beans With Someting Extra! Plus A Giveaway!

Green Beans With Someting Extra! Plus A Giveaway! by kathy gori

I never was a big green bean fan growing up. Mainly because the beans I was usually served weren't green at all but rather grey and flabby, the 90 pound weaklings of beans. They didn't look like they were full of vitamins and raring to go to work on my system but rather as though they'd spent their short bean life couch-surfing and…

A Showstopper Dessert Made Easy!

A Showstopper Dessert Made Easy! by kathy gori

Rumor has it that the great actor Edmund Keanes' last words were "Dying is easy, comedy is hard". The same might be said of the desserts after an Indian meal to the uninitiated. What to throw down after chicken biryani, or a mangalorean pork curry....not your mamas' chocolate cake. That's for sure. Composing a dinner properly is one…

You Can Take The Cream Out Of The Cow, You Can Also Take It Out Of The Soup!

You Can Take The Cream Out Of The Cow, You Can Also Take It Out Of The Soup! by kathy gori

I love soups. They're easy, they're do-ahead, they're economical and they're also very, very filling. Soup is my friend. In preparing my meatless Monday menu, I was trying to think of things that Alan would like and would also make him feel like he was…

Yes! Soup For You..Plus The Rules POf The Game. Win a Ceramic Chicken Cooker From Early Morning Pottery! by kathy gori

I love Meatless Monday. One reason is because it overlaps into Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday too! Whee! Leftovers. Soup is a natural for left over meals. Especially chilled summer soups like the one I prepared yesterday. This soup involves no…

Charred Eggplpant And Peas, A Perfect Barbecue Side Dish.

Charred Eggplpant And Peas, A Perfect Barbecue Side Dish. by kathy gori

Back where I come from when stuff gets charred and there's not a barbecue involved, it's not a good thing. Charring usually involved opening a lot of windows, smoke alarms, yelling and calling the local take out.."Don't Cook Tonight, Call Chicken Delight!" The idea of deliberately charring something may seem scary, but believe me…

Hyderabadi Rice Pilaf Cooked In Clay

Hyderabadi Rice Pilaf Cooked In Clay by kathy gori

When planning a company dinner I always like to go all out. I also like to have some dishes on the table that are relatively easy to set up and prepare. It's important to have a variety of tastes, textures and colors on the table in an Indian meal. My favorites are the ones that get off the stove top and tuck themselves into the oven…
