Summer Heat and Exotic Curry

Image
It has been hot and humid. We usually get some breaks in the heat and humidity in the summer. Not this year. The relativity humidity barely edged below 60% in the last month. We don't get dew on the lawns. We got heat instead. I think the heat and humidity is why I got a summer cold. I am mostly resting this weekend. One of the things we do when we travel is get flavorings and spices. We broke into some curry this past week that we obtained in a market in Turkmenistan last year. It was good. It was made in Russia and distributed out of Belarus. They translated into Kazakh and Armenian. I liked the taste and the label.

I have been cooking at home a lot more lately and enjoying it. Of course, this interest has me buying more tools for the activity including a deli meat slicer, a food processor, meat grinder, vacuum sealer and so on. I made one of my old standbys this past week, Nachos Grande. They are closely adapted from what I had to make at Chi Chis restaurant over 40 years ago. Yes-- 40 years ago. Hard to believe.
