East Indian Seasoned Salmon

Salmon is a fun food to experiment with.  There are a lot of spices and herbs that go surprisingly well with the rich flavor of salmon - even if the combinations aren't something we're accustomed to seeing together.  An example is today's recipe, which uses spices more often associated with lamb and fowl dishes, and is … Continue reading East Indian Seasoned Salmon

Here is another simple wet rub grill recipe, which happens to complement yesterday's curry ginger butternut squash quite nicely.  I carried over the cilantro and ginger from the squash recipe, but decided to use Thai red curry paste (and some ground coriander) for a little departure from the Indian curry powder used for the squash.  … Continue reading Lime Curry Sirloin Steaks

Saturday night we had our good friends George (of Manimal Wear apparel) and Maeghan over for dinner.  It was a great evening - a chance to unwind, shoot the breeze, enjoy a couple of hard ciders (except Maeghan, who has just over a month before their little one arrives!), and share some good food.  And despite the … Continue reading Jerk Short Ribs

Chicken Butternut Curry Soup

This recipe grew out of a very specific set of circumstances one recent evening when my mom was in town for a visit.  Namely, it was a Thursday night, I'd had a long day at work (they all seem to be that way lately), and had completely spaced out pulling something from the freezer to … Continue reading Chicken Butternut Curry Soup
