South Asian Eats

I'm off to the library to pick up Patak's Indian cooking book. Love it Love it!!! I renewed it thrice and was actually under the impression that it belonged to me. Believe me, it was almost a tug of war between me and the librarian over that book when I returned it. Then my blogbuddy JA Firebrand tells me that she saw it at Winners in Dufferin Mall!! Got to pick it up. Just have to. I have a pork tenderloin sitting on my counter just begging to be seasoned with cumin and coriander and cloves. Boy I can just taste it now with my basmati rice and a side salad. And I was lucky enough to come across a really cheap Thai cookbook the other night. I scooped that baby up. I'll be experimenting with banana fritters, curried pork with pickled garlic, fried fish with turmeric, and broiled chicken with sweet chili sauce just to name a few! Man, I've gonna have to balance off all of this with some light weights and a yogalates video.
Later on this evening, it's off to the Drake to listen to our friend Jude spin some neo-soul tunes. One bevvy is all I'm having. Can't seem to drink as much as I could in the past. Ordering cranberry juice at the bar seems to be in my destiny. Oh well, so be it. Patak's, here I come!!!

- the pork tenderloin turned out divinely! alas, patak's indian cookbook was out of the library and so i had to settle for what i thought was a mediocre recipe, but which turned out so yummy. it was pork with shallots and onion. it had ginger, cardamom, coriander and chili powder in it and was such a hit, the pot was scraped clean upon my return from the Drake.
- now about my destiny with cranberry juice: it didn't happen. when there are complimentary drink tickets floating around, there is no excuse not to have several glasses of Jackson Triggs red wine. so there you have it. i wanted some of that pork when i got home, but there was none to be had, as i already mentioned.
