Dinner with the Cannons - India in Ecuador
Yesterday I had an intense, inexplicable craving for Indian cuisine. The craving was as strong as it was random. I've had real Indian food maybe once in my life. When we lived in Canada, Sean and I went to a Sikh wedding. The banquet afterwards was a true cultural experience and the food was quite tasty, even if eaten without silverware!
Anyway, for whatever reason, I thought it would be fun to put my lentils in the pantry to good use. I made curried lentils and rice, sauteed zucchini and onion, and Roti, a type of Indian flat bread. Very ethnic. Very healthy. Very tasty. Brooklyn wasn't a fan but Sean liked it...even though he thought it needed some meat. (A very predictable reaction, that one, Sean.)
I get wild hairs quite often when it comes to cooking (note that the wild hairs are not actually IN the cooking....I hope). Since I have to make so many of our meals at home (Maddie makes eating out too stressful) I get bored with the old standbys pretty quickly. I like trying new recipes often and Sean is learning to be a bit more adventurous. Better to have lentils than nothing at all, right?! *ahem* Right?
