Makai Palak - Spinach Corn Curry

I don't know anything about this curry.  I found it because I googled recipes that use kasoori methi.  I have a large quantity of kasoori methi because I made ghormeh sabzi over a month ago.

Kasoori methi is dried fenugreek leaves.  A website called Gourmet Sleuth said it tastes like a combination of celery and fennel.  It is a little bitter.

Corn, Zucchini, and Tomato Skillet Sauté

I went on a vacation to Switzerland almost two weeks ago.  I ate very while while there.  We had chocolate, gelato, cheese, and loads of other delicious things.

I have been trying to eat extra healthy in the two weeks since I have returned to counteract all the delicious yet unhealthy food I ate in Switzerland.  I have only been marginally successful in this endeavor.  For example, yesterday I topped each meal off with a cookie.

Corn, Walnut, and Feta Cheese Salad

I got my inspiration for this recipe off another blog.  Unfortunately,  I cannot remember which blog.  I look at many food blogs in the course of a week.  

I rode my bike to work today.  I usually ride my bike to work once or twice a week during the Spring, Summer, and Fall.  I started a new job this Monday, and it was my first time riding to my new job.

Cornmeal Pancakes with Blueberries

Last Saturday I saw a production of Romeo and Juliet that had no words.  The actors used dancing and movement to convey the story line.  The lighting and music help give context and emotion to the scenes.  

It was a modern interpretation.  The dancing was modern dance and the music was kind of techno.  I enjoyed it, but it was different.  I had never seen anything like it before.  It was helpful that I was familiar with the story line.  It would be difficult to understand King Lear without any words.  

Corn and Chorizo Soup

Every once in a while I make a recipe that tastes fantastic but looks unappealing.  This hearty corn and chorizo soup is a perfect example of a yummy dish that's a little weird looking.

Corn was domesticated in modern day Mexico.  Starting around 2500 BC corn crops spread throughout the Americas.  Corn spread to what is currently the United States in 2100 BC in what is now New Mexico and Arizona.
