The long list of spices seems to be the major barrier to most people regularly cooking Indian — if you have them stocked in your pantry it's no more difficult than most other styles of cooking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-53819328439992430272008-07-31T23:34:00.000+12:002008-07-31T23:34:00.000+12:00Brisket - i'm gathering you mean this is some sort...Brisket - i'm gathering you mean this is some sort of cow thing?

He inhaled quite a bit of it unfortunately. Anyway, he dusted and washed it all of but it wasn't until 4 hours later when we were out and about that I noticed his whole face had taken on a rather alarming shade of yellow that was only noticeable under certain types of light. He was very embarrased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-87641948228636908922008-07-31T08:56:00.000+12:002008-07-31T08:56:00.000+12:00Did your hands turn yellow when you played with th...Did your hands turn yellow when you played with the Tumeric?

As for brisket, start with a rub (equal parts pepper, salt, brown sugar, and paprika is the easiest, although you can get way more complicated), and cook it slow, like 250 degrees. My boyfriend just made a very successful brisket for the first time last Friday, and he should be posting about it soon on our blog. I think he combined a Food and Wine recipe from their June 2007 issue and Cook's Illustrated's technique. Hope that helps, and hope the rain lets up!Neenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669218258335429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-42637757821740818372008-07-30T00:55:00.000+12:002008-07-30T00:55:00.000+12:00I *heart* T-Rex!!!!!!xox SarahI *heart* T-Rex!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-50081712061807886042008-07-29T20:46:00.000+12:002008-07-29T20:46:00.000+12:00Will remember the tumeric and buy it by the bucket...Will remember the tumeric and buy it by the bucket when ant season comes around.

I used to use it a lot in my Weight Watcher days, over 30 years ago. My, how the time doth fly. I used/use it with cottage cheese. Looks the colour of egg for sandwiches or with salads in summer. And brisket, I cook in crockpot with the extras you cook corned beef with, Golden syrup, or brown sugar, some vinegar etc. loved the kitty picture. hugs Nana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
