yeah, so this week wasn't too exciting either

i was uninspired, what can i say?

although i was at a different grocery store (big y) looking for a particular chili-garlic sauce, which of course they were out of. they did have a szechwan sauce, which i tried, and which was...ok, i guess.
but, they had a new annie's macaroni and cheese (and tomato and basil) which was also...really good, or really gross. it's a finer line than you would think. they also had premade indian food, notably kashimi rajma from kohinoor? which was quite good. (fascniatingly, a google search for kohinoor brings up indian porn first. as for me, kohinoor reminds me of the god of small things.)

i also made egg salad, with some tofu mixed in, which added some body but not much else. egg salad is mostly an excuse to eat mayonaise anyway, right? which reminds me i had an artichoke sometime in the past two weeks also.

then i had mixed vegetables in garlic sauce from the chinese take-out place, which was good and very greasy.

i am currently in the process of making bread, but it's a two day process.

now it's the next day. it came out...decent. very edible for garlic toast with pecorino romano, which i bought at trader joes before realizing it was sheep cheese. it was, again, from the book home baking, under american white bread. perhaps it didn't rise as much as i would have liked in the over.

finally, sunday night, i made this. which meant buying a lot of spices at the indian grocery, and then adding too much, i think. still, now i have a plethora of spices to mess around with.
