Sautée some onion, garlic and ginger in about 1/4 cup butter. Add a can of tomatoe paste and spices (which is a mix of anywhere from 1 tsp to 1 tbsp of curry, cardamom, paprika, cayenne, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, and the TINIEST pinch of cinnamon). Simmer this spice/onion/tomatoe mix for a few minutes, then slowly add 2 cups of cream. Once this is mixed well, add your cooked (cut in bite-size pieces / cubed) chicken (about a pound, give or take?) and simmer on low for as long as you like. Taste it often and add salt and/or honey as needed to balance the spices. It can be served as soon as you add the cooked chicken, but it's best if you can simmer it for at least two hours. Stir often and keep on low so it doesn't separate or burn. I can send you a more precise recipe, if you'd like. And for extra kick, buy some pre-marinated tandoori or masala chicken on the bone, and use that instead of plain chicken. Good naan is key. Do you have President's Choice brand in the states? It's the best naan I've found.

Karen, that sounds really yummy! This would be a good recipe to make in a tangine, wouldn't it? I find a lot of my spices at http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/shophome.html?id=3I2samGp Their Maharajah Curry Powder is very close to your Naan.

Last night me and Kota ended up making pizzas. A regular pepporoni and pineapple for the kids and for us olive oil, italian seaonings (no tomato sauce,) roasted chicken, green and red bell peppers, mushrooms and cheese. It was good! Tonight, probably Lori's tuna sandwiches or running out to get something from somewhere. No water in the house, kids at my sisters, no cooking.

Tonight we went out to a Dairy (meatless) restaurant. I had a bowl of borsht (no sourcream! sigh.) A scoop of tuna, 1 slice of rye bread buttered, and only a mere 6 of dh's heaping plate of fries which he shared with mom. DH had peasoup with noodles, and fish and chips, and a bagel. (Oh yeah, I had 1 of the 3 fish strips on his plate, but I picked off as much of the breading as I could.) Mom (92) had a little of this and a little of that, but for her, it was a feast. Dessert was a fresh-fruit cup in a banana-boat, which we all shared.

I picked up my half a pig this week, so with some sausage from that and some ground beef left from last winter's cow, plus half a nice, sweet onion, I made meatloaf just like my dad used to make. Chili tonight!

Hey Mamie, your pulled pork reminded me of something. Do you like Cuban sandwiches? All you need is a nice loaf of italian bread from the bakery, some of the already prepared shredded pork (like the Lloyd's brand you find in the tubs in the meat section), a couple slices of swiss cheese and kosher dill chip pickles (or slice a full pickle into thin slices). Slice the bread fairly thin, and put the fixins on, then slap it in a George Foreman type grill. I'm tellin ya, it was like something I order at a restaurant. Cheap and easy, and it didn't even need any butter to grill the bread. So yummy and not altogether too bad for the diet!

Hukd, I'll have to try that! It sounds yummy. I made some paninis on the Foreman grill. I just asked everyone what they wanted on them and sliced the french bread and cooked them up. Love the Foreman grill of sandwiches.
