Vindaloo Sauce



I double this when I make it. I have made it twice now.  I freeze some of it.  It is a great meal to make when you are in a hurry.  You can cook some lentils and just add the sauce to it.  Or you can get all fancy and add vegetables to the mix.  I have made it both ways now and I think my favorite is just with the lentils.  I have spread it on toast, yes, seriously I have (on more that one occassion). It's awesome that way.

VINDALOO SAUCE
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 tablespoon white peppercorns
1 teaspoon whole cloves
4 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
2 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoon fennel seeds (reduce or omit if you are not a fan)
2 guajillo chilies
4 cloves garlic
1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, mince
1 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 can tomato paste (4 ounces)
2 tablespoon Tamarind paste

Toast the spices in a dry pan, until fragrant. Watch carefully as it will burn easily. Once you start to smell it, then you remove it and put it on a plate or in a bowl. If it burns it will be bitter.  Discard and try again.

Process spices in processor.  Add the remainder of ingredients

Transfer the spices to the bowl of a small food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Process until it becomes a smooth paste. Scrape down the sides of the machine as necessary.
Store the curry paste in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. It should keep for about a month.

Mexican Style Tofu Scramble Bowl

A really easy bowl to make and super delicious! I really like the recipes I see out there for "bowls".  It's kind of funny because this is what I have pretty much done on my plate for a long time now.  I would stir it all together, much to my children's chagrin.  Well, at least one of my children.  She does not like things touching each other. She is not especially a fan of curries for example. Now, though, as she gets older, she is not quite so outraged about touching food. The bowl concept is a pretty sexy one, I think. So pretty, sitting there in the bowl.  Fun to see all the components and then mixing the beauty together with the noodles or rice or whatever underneath. I think what makes a good bowl is the blend of something crunchy, something piquant or spicy, something salty and something creamy. Just lovely!

BBQ Carrot with Pineapple Salsa

I found this idea at the cafeteria of the place I use to work at. I thought it was pretty genius. No author to site, sorry to whoever you are. I did experience some things that didn’t work in that recipe and changed it up quite a bit and added a trick I use for vegetables that so, all in all we could safely call this my recipe. In the original recipe, it called for roasting carrots.  I did that and really by the time they are tender, they are drying out from the roasting. They were cut in about 3/8ths slices.  A good way to do it if you want to do it all in the oven is to cover the carrots for a little while and let the steam cook them without drying. Then about 10 or 15 minutes in remove the cover and let them roast the rest of the way.  Matter of fact... I may make it today.  All I need is the zucchini... BRB.

Saying Goodbye To The Old And Saying Hello To The New

When my daughter was two or three I started Lori's Lipsmacking Goodness.  I loved that blog.  At that time I was a stay at home Mom and desperately in need of a creative outlet and something I could look at and feel a sense of accomplishment.  So many years ago.  I poured my heart into that blog.  There were so many blogs that started at the same time as mine and seemed to sky rocket.  My blog, just plugged along.  Never reached 'rock star status'.  Many times I was bummed by that because it is how I saw myself in the world of professionals after leaving my social work job to stay home with the kids.  If my blog failed, it meant I wasn't any good.  Boy, was I hard on myself.  Many times I thought to leave blogdom, be done with it.  But I kept going, thinking that some amazing success would happen with my blog.  Something amazing would spring forth.  Some company would sign me on as a recipe developer.  Or my hits would go up and I would make money doing my blog. Or I
