I went to Save Our Seabirds today to drop off a donation for an upcoming event, and a couple of gifts for Lee Fox who runs the place and Lynn Zablo who is one of the rescuers. My friend Lorraine went with me to keep me company and help. That’s my friend who had a brain tumor removed only 8 weeks ago. She’s doing great, and we laughed so much on the trip. It was good medicine for us both.

Lee Fox is the sweetest person, and she showed us some really neat specimens. This male black swan lives in a community in Sun City. Unfortunately, this is the third time this swan or his mate has visited SOS for the same bumblefoot issue because the people in the community feed the swans out of the water, where they have to walk on hard surfaces. This time it was just in the beginning stages, so Lee cleaned the foot, applied turmeric and wrapped it up. She thinks it will do the trick, but wishes they would stop feeding the swans out of the water. Swans are heavy, so it doesn’t take a lot of walking on asphalt, sidewalk or whatever to bother their feet.

I’ve never seen a black swan in person, always wanted to, and sometime in the past few months remember commenting on one in a friends photostream. The feathers on their back curl and undulate. They are also very shiny. We thought this male was really big until we saw the resident Mute Swans (the white ones) in the Sanctuary. They are huge! They actually aren’t mute. They make this “farting” sound, a bit like a grunt, as did the black swan. As the sign on the Mute Swans habitat stated, they make several unappealing sounds. LOL

It was great to see Lee, and all the wonderful work they are doing with so many birds. In addition to this Black Swan, we saw mockingbirds, ducks, a yellow crowned night heron, a baby Pelican, a Woodstork, an adult pelican, owls, a woodpecker, blue jays, and parrots, and that was just in the hospital. One Muschovy duck had recently come in with a blow dart right through its head. Lee had a photo of the bird with the dart through its head and the dart hanging in a plastic bag on the photo. The duck was already out in the transitional pen with other ducks recovering from its injury. He looked pretty good, which is kind of a miracle. If you saw the photo the duck seriously looked like Steve Martin on that album cover with the toy arrow through his head.

Please know, it is not my intention to solicit here, just to inform in case you are interested in giving to an awesome rescue organization. Injured birds pour into this place daily. I don’t know how they do it. I am in awe every time I visit and always wish I could do more. If you can’t donate money, and you live in the Sarasota area, they have a wish list online. Here’s the link: www.saveourseabirds.org/Portals/0/SOS Wish List.pdf

After SOS, Lorraine and I stopped at Lowe’s where they had all this stuff out front on clearance. One of the Lowe’s guys was kind of joking about our interest in a five gallon bucket of hand sanitizer. Lorraine said, well who needs that, a school or something? I said, “You know who could use that? SOS!” Even though it isn’t on their wish list, I’m thinking it would be a good thing for them. Not for nothing, it was a $130 bucks and I got it for $15. When I got to the cashier at Lowe’s I said, “I’m a germaphobe.” To which he responded, “A what?” I said, you know, I’m afraid of germs. I plan to roll around in this stuff when I get home. He finally got it, and then I told him, just joking, I’m donating it to a seabird sanctuary.

Really long story long, when you see things like that, think of others. My neighbor noted they need a lot of stuff she sees at garage sales, pet carriers, ceramic pet bowls, tarps and bungee cords, and she is going to keep an eye out for those and other items on the list now. The entire excursion made me happy happy! So I am sharing that happiness and these ideas with you. =o)

Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

Chicken Thigh and Rice Biryani with Green Peas, close up

A delight!

yesterday, i got to play with natural dyes all day. i set up 5 traditional natural dye vats: 2 black walnut, madder, tumeric and osage orange. inspired by india flint, i tore up an old linen tablecloth and used this cloth to experiment with her direct application techniques. i arranged leaves, onion skins and bloodroot pieces on the squares of wet linen, then folded and bound and into the dyepots. i am very pleased with the result. opening these little bundles was like opening cloth gifts!

Indian recipe called Tisru (Thisra). A kind of retro style photo approach using more saturated colors with a second main front light. I know many of these "colorful" photos from older cookbooks. This is a try to take up "retro" elements I know and to get them into food photos again.

Our Easter Eggs are colored the natural way. The red eggs using the skins of yellow onions, the yellow eggs using tumeric and the blue eggs using red cabbage.

Day #31: one of the first things you'd notice upon arriving in a foreign country is how different can everyday items be priced at. ginger and tumeric are almost value-less back home.

Freshly made, still in the wok...

Very easy but time-consuming unless you have a deepfrying machine.

1. Rub tumeric powder and salt all over chicken pieces until fully coated. Let it marinate for about an hour.

Take care with tumeric as it stains porous items yellow.

2. Heat a quantity of oil in wok/deepfryer/pan. Deep fry or shallowfry marinated chicken in batches. Drain chicken on kitchen paper.

3. Heat about 2 tbsp 'new' oil in clean wok for stirfrying. Stirfry sliced onions, remove from wok. Add chicken to same wok to reheat for 2-3 min, then add tomato sauce , enough to coat chicken, and chili sauce to taste, stirring to coat.

4. Return onions back to wok. Add green peas.

Dish is ready to serve with rice and stirfried veggies when peas are cooked.

I was sifting through a Jewish cookbook that I borrowed from the library when I stumbled across a recipe for Moroccan chicken. I converted it to a crockpot recipe and turned out great! I had so much watery sauce that I used it to make cous cous. I tested it on the twins before I made the balls and they loved it, despite the 'kick' of the tumeric!

My first Masala Dabba, or Indian spice box. This one has green cardamom pods (center), tumeric powder, mustard seeds, (mild) curry powder, cumin powder (which will probably be replaced with cumin seeds), coriander powder (also marked for replacement with its seed form), and garam masala.

Here are some other Masala Dabbas found around Flickr, and around the Internet...

*-*-*-*-*

Being somewhat curious about the great ease and facility by which Indian chefs approach spices, I decided to assemble my own Indian spice box, or Masala Dabba.

Very utilitarian vessels, they are made of stainless steel and typically contain seven[*] similarly sized small and open containers where spices are kept. The typical Dabba also would have two lids, a somewhat loose fitting inner lid for everyday use, and a much tighter outer lid to seal it up for longer term storage.

[* Why seven? As the circle that crosses the centerpoint of each "satellite" dish has a radius of 2*r, where r is the radius of a single dish, the circumference of this circle is given by 4*π*r. Now given that each "satellite" dish consumes roughly (a bit less than) 2*r of this circumference, this leaves room for 4*π*r / (2*r) "satellite" dishes, or 2*π dishes = 6.28... dishes. So 6 whole dishes can be used as "satellite" dishes, leaving the 7th one to fit in the center of the dabba!]

I really like the functionality of such an arrangement vs. the western spice jar with their fussy lids and where one has to pick each jar up one at a time. With the dabba all spices are there for immediate use, encouraging a more free-wheeling approach to spicing. (This is somewhat similar in concept to a salt pig or pinch bowl, but with the advantage of having many spices simultaneously at your disposal, and for being easily customizable to any given mix of favorite spices.)

For this particular dabba I stuck with a pretty traditional assortment of Indian spices, (though the inclusion of "curry powder is perhaps heretical), and I can easily imagine creating other dabbas using the more familiar spices used in western cooking.

I haven't used it yet, but I'll probably first tackle a simple channa masala, a classic and popular dish featuring garbanzo beans (channa).

Wet Cyanotype Process using soap suds, vinegar and tumeric

Tumeric and Goldenrod Botanical Inks

Happy Halloween!

once upon a time, i woke up with a genius idea and made tofu omelette. and then after that, i forgot how i made it. I'll have to re-make it again one day and write it down. For the moment, I believe the following ingredients were involved:

mashed firm tofu (you gotta squeeze all the water out)

a bit of flour (just enough so everything sticks together)

1 ener-G egg replacer (totally unacessary imo)

a little tumeric powder

a tad of garlic powder

a dash of black pepper

vegetable seasoning

salt

finely chopped onion

finely chopped parsley (or any green herb really)

vegan cheese ( i used mozeralla)

* mix all ingredients together. leave it the fridge for a few hours to let the tofu soak in all the flavours. take it out, make individual round omelette shapes. coat with a little flour.oil & heat pan. pan-fry under low heat. flip it over carefully or it'd break. when both sides are done, chuck a bit of grated vegan cheese on top, fold the omelette in half and let the heat melt the cheese a little. et viola ~ it tastes great with grilled tomato slices too, but i was just too lazy for that.

This turned out so yummy! The potatoes were fantastic with salsa and pico de gallo. The korma was very similar to the way it taste at an indian restaurant. Delicious!

Chicken Korma Recipe:

(serves 4)

2 lbs chicken thighs (bone-in)

1 T vegetable oil

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp tumeric

1/2 cup red wine

1/2 tsp ginger

2 T minced garlic

Cook chicken in shallow baking pan at 400 F for 40mins or until juices run clear. Shred chicken off the bone in bite size pieces.

1 cup pico de gallo (store bought)

1 tsp vegetable oil

1 can coconut milk

1 can tomato sauce

1/4 tsp MSG (optional)

1/4 tsp hot madras curry powder

1/4 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp cumin

1 tsp honey

salt & pepper to taste

Sautee pico de gallo in a frying pan for 5 mins the add the other ingredients including the chicken pieces until sauce is at desired thickness.

Aloo Pakora Recipe:

(serves 2)

1 red potato

1/2 cups flour

1 cup water

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp tumeric

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp garam masala

oil for frying

Thinly slice the potato and dredge in the mixed ingredients, the deep fat fry, or fry in shallow oil (flipping) until golden brown, the salt when done.

Dhal... how can something so simple taste so good? This is the resident Dhal Meister working her magic in the kitchen.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

Enjoy with rice or chapati! Also nice with toasted bread :-)

Note: there is no ghee used in this dhal recipe, just sunflower or vegetable oil. It'll taste just as good but won't clog your coronaries... it's a win-win situation, friends :-)

This was good! Asian lemon grass Chicken.

During our cycle ride we stopped at this woman's family home. They are a farming family and had a wide range of produce such as mandarines, bananas, coconut, tumeric etc. She also liked her betel nut (as you can see).

Here she is with her daughter (I think), preparing her betel nut.

Here are most of the spices, seasonings, herbs and vegetables that I'll be using in the dish. Show in the picture are yellow onions, garlic bulbs, limes, fresh ginger, fresh tumeric, parseley, fresh coriander leaves, green cardamom pods, black cardomom seeds, whole cloves, fenugreek seeds, black pepper, dried curry leaves, dried fenugreek leaves, dried bay leaves, whole cumin seeds, whole coriander seeds, raw cashew nuts, cinammon and bird's-eye chili peppers.

Most of the dry spices will be roasted together and then ground.

The necklace entirely made from handmade polymer clay beads. The large yellow round bead is colored with Tumeric spice and rye seeds. The smaller donut shaped beads are colored with curry and paprika spices. The remaining clay beads are from several different projects giving the necklace a fun and eclectic look. The thick leather cord is closed with an irregular shaped horn bead that fits snugly into a leather loop.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae which is native to tropical South Asia. It needs temperatures between 20 and 30 deg. C. and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes, and re-seeded from some of those rhizomes in the following season.

It is also often misspelled (or pronounced) as tumeric. It is also known as kunyit (Indonesian and Malay) or haldi in some Asian countries.

Its rhizomes are boiled for several hours and then dried in hot ovens, after which they are ground into a deep orange-yellow powder commonly used as a spice in curries and other South Asian cuisine, for dyeing, and to impart color to mustard condiments. Its active ingredient is curcumin and it has an earthy, bitter, peppery flavor and has a mustardy smell.

Pines Wheat Grass and Beet Juice Powder are convenient and economical ways to add more #antioxidant #vegetable #nutrition to diets. Most people are deficient in the vegetable nutrition.

Pines Wheat Grass was the first #GreenSuperfood and the first #wheatgrass. As wholefoods, Pines products are #prebiotic and promote the growth of #probiotic bacteria we need for good health.

We have grown our wheatgrass in accordance with the scientific research for nearly 40 years. Never forced to grow too quickly indoors in crowded trays, #PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended. It is harvested after a winter of slow growth outdoors in often-freezing temperatures as a short grass. We harvest at peak nutrition that occurs only once a-year and lasts only a few days in the early spring.

Pines is unique among wholefood wheatgrass producers in that we not a part of the pesticide-based, animal feed industry. Since 1976, Pines' farm families have always been 100% organic. Our products are grown with natural rainfall, not irrigation. We are not a part of the factory farming that has contaminated and depleted the once-great #Ogallala #Aquifer.

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. Without oxygen, the devitalization for products packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets does not occur. That's why Pines provides more nutrition per dollar than any other wholefood wheatgrass.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Indian recipe called Tisru (Thisra). A kind of retro style photo approach using saturated colors with a second main front light. In this 2nd version I have tried to get the retro style back into a more modern idea with getting closer and not too saturated colors.

This recipe is from CK Hall (@ckscooking). She is a consultant for Pampered Chef®, who uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools!

CK teaches sourcing individual ingredients rather than using complex blends.

This is especially important for #greensuperfood products, which can be blended to hide poor color and quality.

When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient for quality.

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. That protects the product from oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when sensitive green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.

Nearly all our Pines products consist of ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All products are certified #organic,#gmofree,#raw, #Kosher and #glutenfree.

1 large potato. I used a large pink-skinned Desiree potato

1 large spanish onion

320g (12 oz) of asparagus spears

Olive oil

2 heaped teaspoons of Curry Powder

2 cups of milk (I used skim milk)

2 cups of vegetable stock (I used 2 heaped teaspoons of vegetarian powdered stock dissolved in hot water)

sour cream

4 kaffir lime leaves

cracked pepper

Directions

Wash potato, do not peel off skin, cut onto 12mm (half inch) cubes.

Dice onion.

Cut off hardened ends of aspapragus and cut off tips to about 5cm long and set aside. Cut remaining aspapragus into 25mm lengths.

Add a small amount of Olive oil into saucepan and cook onion until clear, add curry powder and add potato and stir constantly for about 1 minute on medium heat. Add vegetable stock and simmer until potato is soft. Add aspapragus and simmer for a further 2 minutes.

Blend entire mixture until smooth. Return blended mixture to saucepan and add milk and kaffir lime leaves, allow to slightly simmer for 1 minute, do not boil.

At the same time, simmer asparagus tips in water and ensure they are not overcooked.

Serve soup into bowls, add a blob of sour cream and add drained aspapragus tips to top of sour cream. Spinkle with cracked pepper and serve with crusty toast.

Curry Powder recipe

1 part ground cardamon

2 parts ground cumin

the disposals after a fruit lunch and a cup of tea

Well, THIS Champion, ennyroad...

Triscuits (preferably topped with sliced Swiss or Mozzarella..along with Cayenne Red Pepper, Curry Powder, Coarse Ground Black Pepper, Tumeric, and toasted)

And .. THIS is MANDATORY...*REGARDLESS* off the cuisine I dine on .. Avorstatin (a statin..as if you expected ennything different, eh?), Losortan (High-Blood Pressure), Metformin (for blood sugar), Aspirin, High-Potency Multivitamin, and (until my current ear infection goes the Hell away..) Amoxicillin..

Not forgetting the daily injection of Levimir (insulin)

Along with a chaser of either Orange Juice, Hot Tea, or Coffee...

And that's the way it is, as The Much Regretted WALTER CRONKITE used to say, yes?

2 grooms, brothers, and way too many people wanting to help set up their headdress...

that was after they each got a complete bath, washing the tumeric powder that gave them a yellow glow.

too complicated an image for flickr. too "busy" and the profile of the groom (that i find interesting) is hard to see in the vignette. there really is a "flickr" style that makes some images work and some fail.

I'm very pleased with this print. 9 x 24 inches
