Don Penguinoini

We don't have any ginger I don't think, but I know we have plenty of lemon juice.
I've always wanted to try lemon juice in korma, but I think it may just be because I'm not all there in the head.

We're missing coriander and tumeric, I'll get some next week though
We always get onions, every week. It's weird, because I hate onions in Western food..

Hehe, I'll have to try It's just been, finding a base and good spices that I've struggled with (I don't want to make something that's gross)! And I'm poor.

Ask your dad what he uses for me!

I'd especially love to learn how to make korma, masala, and naan bread. Especially cheese naan or p.. puh... puhpuhpuhpuh.. I forget its name except it starts with a p and is a vege naan. It's sweet.. and yummy

Hehe, yeah it is a big deal. It's like "wow.. where have you been all my life?!"

I'd love to meet with Indians and discuss food and philosophy and stuff, but I generally don't go out anywhere most of the time, and none of the local Indians I do talk to like the ones in charge of the takeaway or the local shops will tell us how to make any Indian food. Meanies.

Admittedly, I didn't stay too long - I didn't stay for the speech or anything (I'm not sure what time it is), but I stayed in the room and meditated for about 35 minutes. I dunno if I stayed too long though, because EVERYONE who was originally in the room when I was there was gone when I finally left.

Sounds like you had fun with the prayers and stuff! I think all sermons bore people to death.

Veg is working out decently. I discovered we have vegetarian cans of curry (real Indian curry, I think) in the Sainsburys nearby, 2 for £2, so I got. Not the healthiest thing because it's not made from scratch, but stuff I can stomach because it's not so bland! I actually add more peas to it and a little paprika.

I need to learn how to make Indian food.

I'm not completly vege yet, but my meat-eating has decreased dramatically. I'm starting to look forward to vegetarian dishes - and when I have meat, I kinda dread it (and eat the veg first)!

Hehe, I'm all good. Spiritual search is still going. I recently went to a Hindu mandir! I saw we had one, and we (wife, kids and myself) went there the same day. Though I must admit, it's a bit far from me, opposite end of the city! They had some kind of festival on, I think. Durga or Lakshmi's. It was in mid/late August if I recall correctly I'm not very good with dates!

I've been to the local Sikh temple a few times too - I went during Diwali, which was quite interesting - it was so full.

How did you celebrate Diwali?

Ahh, no problem Glad you'll be on more!
How's life been treating you?
