Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

There was an Indian restaurant that I knew of growing up in northeastern Indiana but never had the chance to try, perhaps out of some sort of fear. It wasn't until I had moved to New York that I had my first taste of Indian cuisine. We lived in Jackson Heights Queens which had a wonderful mix of Indian, Pakistani, Argentinean, Bolivian, Columbian...residents. Jackson Diner is the well known go-to place for a terrific Indian buffet. I loved it that first time. Now, a couple of times every year I get that craving.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

I am a novice when it comes to making my own pie crust. But, seeing as how my partner and I had just picked four pounds of blueberries I thought I should give the whole thing a try. I take no credit, it was an America's Test Kitchen recipe and it was brilliant. There was vodka in the crust as well as ground tapioca and shredded granny smith apple in the filling. It all came out perfectly without any running. I may use parts of this same recipe to make a blackberry pie from the berries we just picked two weeks ago. Excellent!

My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers

White Castle was a regular stop for my family when we lived in Indianapolis in the 1970's. Once we moved north of Fort Wayne, White Castle was only available on the occassional trip back to Indy. It was always a treat we looked forward to.
Fast forward to 1998 when I moved to New York City. There was a White Castle in Jackson Heights not too far away from our apartment. I thought I would be in Heaven. I made my order and was disgusted to find that there was catsup on every burger. In the midwest a White Castle burger consists of a beef patty cooked on a griddle with minced onions placed on a steamed bun with one or two pickle slices. After a couple of visits to various Castles in the New York/ New Jersey metro area I found out that catsup is automatically put on every burger. It ruins the whole thing! All you basically taste is the catsup.
So if you live in New York do yourself a favor & ask for your White Castles to be without catsup.

Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'

Peach, apple, blueberry, strawberry-rhubarb; I don't care. As long as they are done simply. I just need use of a microwave for 20 seconds and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with any fruit pie and that is perfect.

No Beets Will Grow in the White House's Organic Vegetable Garden?

come on! Can't we just be happy that they are going to plant a garden. We all have foods we could do without. President Obama doesn't have to like beets and he doesn't need to hear from anyone on why he should plant them in his garden. Have a nice day and pass it on to others!

My McDonald's Shamrock Shake Journey: An Emotional Roller Coaster

Spanno, did you not read the article? The whole point of the story is that the writer doesn't know what a shamrock shake is because she lives in New York City and you can not find shamrock shakes in New York City.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'

Capriole goat cheeses from southern Indiana. I think it may be one of the most well regarded in the country. It certainly has won awards. It goes great with Oliver Winery wines from Bloomington.
