Spice Hunting: Cardamom

So glad to see that cardamom is a spice that people are using in more than spice cookies.
Cardamom is an important spice in Indian cooking - both the green and the black. As suggested before the green is used in more subtle dishes like rice and sweet preparations like rice pudding.
The black cardamom is must most strong with a musty aroma which we use for heartier dishes like lamb curries and kidney bean stew etc.

If you buy just one - make it the green one which I use for all dishes that call for cardamom.

I have several recipes using this spice on my blog

Spice Hunting: Coriander

Nice to see that so many people are using coriander. It is an important spice in Indian cooking.
I think Cilantro is the herb that causes the most dissention amongst people - some just love it and others think that it tastes of soap.

I have a couple of recipes on my blog - I hope that you visit and comment - I live for those comments - such is my life

Mall food court serious eats?

Luckily, living in Manhattan - I don't get to go to too many malls but the one on Herald Square has that bourbon chicken. O my lord - it is tempting at first but there is something in it that makes you ill if you fall for it and order the whole thing.

One can never really go wrong with pizza. I will admit I like the fried stuff - like the fried fish or clams or some such thing.

Now I feel I need to get me to a mall!

Confirmed: The New Sun Chips Compostable Bag Is Crazy Loud

I too bought a bag of sun chips with the 'loud' bag after I read a piece by someone who said that he couldn't sneak them in and eat them in private. His wife would always hear. : )
I totally agree - the bag is damn loud. I only eat sun chips because it reminds me of my college days when I would get a turkey sandwich and a bag of the chips - sneak them into the university library. At the time what I had to worry about was the loud crunching in my mouth. But today, I don't think I would be too successful in the sneaking aspect of the meal due to the "loud" bag!
