Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

I promised Kastarte2 that I would post some curry recipes, so here is one of my favorites. It is from a restaurant here in Seattle called Cafe Flora (hubby bought me their cookbook for Mother's Day last year!). I usually eat here once every few weeks!

These spices can be combined in amounts to make specific spice mixtures used in everyday cooking. A very well known spice mixture is the Garam Masala. The word garam means hot, not "hot" as in spicy chili hot, but due to the fact that the spices blended in the mixture are said to increase the body temperature.

Here is my chicken recipe . It's 'thai chicken massaman curry'. The curry is sometimes called Muslim curry because the origin is from the muslim communities in Thailand.

I stumbled on this on HillbillyHousewife.com (great name!) and had to share it. Sometimes I just want some warm, hot soup, but I don't want all the calories or sodium that come with canned soup. So here are some great and inexpensive options instead!

6th Chapter
It was in August and for the first time in my life I was able to eat camel meat. Camel meat is very delicious. The animal has to be young and the piece has to be fm the part which is below the hunch.
