Hard to Resist

...and it was good - everything turned out pretty well, at least if I am allowed to judge.

But what is hard to resist is Lorenz and Lucy, who thought it was great fun to run around the room and then launch themselves into the air to land on the sofa over and over again. The cats were scared out of their minds. :-)




All in all, a lot of work - the cooking - but sort of like meditation when you get into it. Chop this, chop that, mix, stir, taste, correct, mix, adjust heat, wait. Wait. Wait.



Menu was:
Spicy pototoes and peas
Spinach Kofta (dumplings) with a tomato curry gravy (was supposed to be Fenugreek, not Spinach, but I have a hard time finding that here...)
Steamed Halibut with a coconut chutney smeared on it
Rice with some dal (mung beans in this case) mixed in
Raita
and dessert - Aunt Sue, you'll be happy to hear...Key Lime Pie - made with your recipe(with a couple adjustments - almond crust rather than graham cracker, and individual rather than one big pie) and your lime juice. ;-)

Everything was fantastic - thank you for all the great food! I was dreaming about the desert, too. Very, very nice... Have a great week!

Glad to hear you enjoyed. :-) As for the dessert - very easy to make - 30 minutes, less than 10 ingredients. I'll email it to you. And you don't need key limes...normal limes work just fine...
