The wedding of Tanvi & Vishal in Gujarat. On the morning of the wedding day I photographed Tanvi's Vidhi. This is the Pithi ceremony, where the bride is covered with a paste made from tumeric, rose water and other ingredients to cleanse and beautify her skin for the wedding.

Another beneficent use of homoeopathic magic is to heal or prevent sickness. The ancient Hindoos performed an elaborate ceremony, based on homoeopathic magic, for the cure of jaundice. Its main drift was to banish the yellow colour to yellow creatures and yellow things, such as the sun, to which it properly belongs, and to procure for the patient a healthy red colour from a living, vigorous source, namely, a red bull. With this intention, a priest recited the following spell: “Up to the sun shall go thy heart-ache and thy jaundice: in the colour of the red bull do we envelop thee! We envelop thee in red tints, unto long life. May this person go unscathed and be free of yellow colour! The cows whose divinity is Rohini, they who, moreover, are themselves red (rohinih)—in their every form and every strength we do envelop thee. Into the parrots, into the thrush, do we put thy jaundice, and, furthermore, into the yellow wagtail do we put thy jaundice.” While he uttered these words, the priest, in order to infuse the rosy hue of health into the sallow patient, gave him water to sip which was mixed with the hair of a red bull; he poured water over the animal’s back and made the sick man drink it; he seated him on the skin of a red bull and tied a piece of the skin to him. Then in order to improve his colour by thoroughly eradicating the yellow taint, he proceeded thus. He first daubed him from head to foot with a yellow porridge made of tumeric or curcuma (a yellow plant), set him on a bed, tied three yellow birds, to wit, a parrot, a thrush, and a yellow wagtail, by means of a yellow string to the foot of the bed; then pouring water over the patient, he washed off the yellow porridge, and with it no doubt the jaundice, from him to the birds. After that, by way of giving a final bloom to his complexion, he took some hairs of a red bull, wrapt them in gold leaf, and glued them to the patient’s skin. The ancients held that if a person suffering from jaundice looked sharply at a stone-curlew, and the bird looked steadily at him, he was cured of the disease. “Such is the nature,” says Plutarch, “and such the temperament of the creature that it draws out and receives the malady which issues, like a stream, through the eyesight.” So well recognised among birdfanciers was this valuable property of the stone-curlew that when they had one of these birds for sale they kept it carefully covered, lest a jaundiced person should look at it and be cured for nothing. The virtue of the bird lay not in its colour but in its large golden eye, which naturally drew out the yellow jaundice. Pliny tells of another, or perhaps the same, bird, to which the Greeks gave their name for jaundice, because if a jaundiced man saw it, the disease left him and slew the bird. He mentions also a stone which was supposed to cure jaundice because its hue resembled that of a jaundiced skin. Sir James George Frazer, 1922
Day Two-Hundred and Fifty Eight, "Metamofoodist" theme, sixteenth shot.
"Translucencies" Menu, second recipe.
The Chef Lorenzo Mazzoni says:
Paprika/Turmeric Greek Feta and Parmesan Bonbons with a heart of Nuts, Spinach Salad and Chestnut Honey filled Grapes ("BonBon di Feta Greca e Parmigiano con cuore di Noci alla Paprika/Curcuma, Insalata di Spinacetti ed Uva al Miele di Castagno").
Feta cheese has a shamelessly sincere taste , and yet it can be domesticated by those who stands out authoritatively, like spices. The turmeric and paprika which envelop some of the bonbons show what they are made of and the taste of all the ingredients (cheese, spices, and the hart of nuts) emerge distinctively. The grapes filled with chestnut honey, together with the spinach salad, work as moderators in this hard fight for the seizure of taste.

I had a bit of fun throwing flour around again. Only I used tumeric aswell for it's yellowy goodness. I don't know who actually started this trend, but I really like the idea.
Anyway, this shoot confirmed what I had long suspected. I am definitely not a good face model. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. Outtake in comments.
It's a pretty simple tomato based curry. Start with coriander, cumin, and mustard seeds, grind, add fenugreek seeds and toast in oil. Add minced garlic, shallots, and chillies until they just start to brown, then add plum tomatoes, grated ginger, and some ground tumeric. Reduce at a gentle boil to lose some of the water and sweeten the tomatoes and onions.
Gently add sardines and stir in some tamarind paste. Salt to taste. Simmer for a long as you like.
Add cut cilantro as a garnish and serve.
I may add the following next time:
Onion seeds (maybe not)
Okra
Curry leaves
A little chemestry produces some really beautiful Easter eggs. All natural materials were used. Red cabbage, tumeric, coffee, red onion skins, blueberries, and beets made for some vibrant colors.

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
(Mother Teresa, 1910–1997)
I met this lady at Dasaswarneth ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
It was early in the morning after dawn.
She came from far with a group of other ladies in order to worship.
They didn't speak Hindi nor English and I couldn't understand their South Indian language but they were happy and it was contagious.
After bathing in the holy waters they were drying their hair, and spreading some tumeric on the skin.
They allowed me to take a few pictures and we had a great time all together...

Served at Brunch with Café Shawn.

My wife and I drove down to imminent brewing this afternoon to try the brunch from Café Shawn. I've been following them on Facebook and I really liked what I was seeing on the weekly menus. We will be back, we loved the food!
These came today! A new line for my Etsy shop... they are Rabari wedding shawls, of the Rabari people from the great Rann of Kutch in Gujurat.
They came in a hand sewn calico bag, sealing wax at either end. As I tipped them out, a little sand fell onto my bed, a little part of the great desert, their home. The desert heat still clung to them, and all the smells of India danced in my nostrils. They are sheer magic! How will I ever part with such beauties?
The rustic wool shawls are painstakingly handwoven on a backstrap loom, in two halves. After sewing the two halves together, they are tie dyed, lots of little stones are tied in the wool, it is dipped in natural plant dye made from madder root and tumeric. When the stones are untied, the pattern of orange or maroon dots results. The process maybe repeated over, to get dots of different shades.
Then the shawl is embroidered. Tiny pieces of mirror, little buttons, sequins,ribbon and rick-rack are all used to express the girls creativity and produce the most exquisite shawl or 'Ludi' for her marriage.
True textile treasure...i hope I can find them empathetic and loving homes
Yes, it's that time already.
Summer's surplus cucumbers picked just so have gone through their lacto-fermentation in their magical transformation into dill pickles. While we're fermenting, the third batch of cider apples has been pressed and is just about fermented out ready for racking and blending. That's 65 litres to be racked, blended and bottled either with a dose of sugar for carbonation or to mature as a still cider to rival fine table wines. Sadly, the cool Summer left Autumn's harvest of riesling at a disappointingly low 10 per cent sugar and sharp, sharp acid. That could have made vinocotto. I should have made an early call and pressed them for verjuice. Instead it's fermenting with a suitable yeast and has just had a final dose of sugar in that cheating chaptalization to lift up the alcohol to a more typical level. Today's strategic visit to the brew shop for supplies brought home crown seals, carbonation drops, supplies of yeast and nutrients. If that wine is too rough, too sour, it could become a sparkling wine or undergo another fermentation into next seasons vinegar supply.
That wheelbarrow of pumpkins and winter squash has disgorged its load onto the pantry shelves. The melons are all gone, seeds saved and memories rekindled. Beans grown for shelling are having a final air dry before they head into storage. How many ways have I dealt with the zucchini crop? Some are in an experimental batch of heat sterilised ratatouille, and another trial of zucchini dressed as bread and butter pickles. A proven winner is here in that pot of yellow magic — a cutdown cousin of piccalilli all spiced up with mustard and tumeric. There's simplicity here and the genius of a pickle where the humble hackneyed zucchini is invisible!
Chillies have expressed their disgust with the cool Summer. The hoped for experimental outcomes with aji limon and aleppo peppers has evaporated — they'll be candidates instead for lifting and overwintering for plan B next Spring. Rocoto has lived up to its reputation as cool tolerant and the over-wintered jalapeño given a good head start have left some hope.
Tomatoes have struggled too! Nevertheless some have been processed into "canned" tomatoes. This season's experiment with the long-keeping del Vesuvio variety has confirmed that their reputation is deserved. One variety I've grown for decades and not commercially available has given me a fine resupply of seeds. Other's have survived more than thrived. There's none left over for passata, paste or drying this season!
With few tomatoes and chillies the luxurious chilli jam, a condiment all sugar, tomato, red chilli and fish sauce had to fall back onto ripe rocotos again — not that that is a fail! At the front, in that other pot is a batch of jalapeño sauce using the bounty of the other reliable chilli. Like the chilli jam, this sauce is all tomato and jalapeño reduced down with chunky onions and some spicing magic to the nature of those awful supermarket salsas meant for Tex-Mex consumption. This sauce is next level and will go very well with Friday's Swedish tradition of tacos — go figure!
The apple epic is far from over except to say that the Cornish aromatics are picked now leaving just the magnificent Sturmer Pippins still soaking up energy, swelling and making my mouth water in anticipation! More on this later. Oh, and then there's the pears picked and another still maturing…

Early gift of the season: specialty chocolates. I would never have thought to put tumeric and chocolate together, but it works. From Nicobella Organics. An expensive but tasty treat.
I found this pile of Tumeric roots in the produce section. I resisted the urge to grab my emergency flamethrower from the car. Yikes!

This was another concept we were dreaming of. The Wolf represents Teacher. So suiting for George since he works with young people. We used his grandfather's 1951 dictionary. George has been my muse since we first met. It is so fun creating concepts with him. I love this man. I wrote this poem for him this morning.
he is the sun,
he is jazz on sunday,
he is music on monday,
boom, boom, boom,
music all night,
he is a sunflower,
fresh morning dew,
sweet lips to kiss,
he is a sunset,
warm hand to hold,
a smile that lights up the world,
he is spicy,
he is mild,
he is smooth,
ethnic food,
colored tumeric, curry and cayenne,
he is a wolf,
a teacher,
of young and old,
he is a treasure,
antique store score,
a bit of history,
he is photographs,
fields of brightly colored flowers,
he is a road trip,
deep blue sea and mountains,
he is fearless and loyal,
understanding and compassionate,
and he is
a gift
