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.
so i was attempting a curry-like dish i saw on youtube. I usually go overboard with dinner because i enjoy cooking and i love eating. So i made a marinade with tumeric, greek yogurt, paprika, and i added lemon juice. I put this marinade with the chicken, and then i always cook with kale. I've been really into cooking with butternut squash so that has been in my cooking routine. Usually when I cook i put something easy together, like this. I cooked rice but i feel like it was a missed opportunity cuz i didn't sauté the rice in oil beforehand which would have given it more flavor it. its okay :) this is also taken at my home and i eat in my living room.
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

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

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

Original recipe from here: Laksa
Instead of using fishcakes, I had used fishballs in its place. I had included an extra stalk of lemon grass in the ground spice paste; used factory made coconut cream and had reduced the blachan to half a tablespoon. As the amount of water used to cook the prawns was not stated, I cooked the prawns in some water and discarded the prawn stock. I used 1.7 litres of boiling water in the laksa gravy instead. As to how creamy, or lemak as we said it locally, you want the laksa gravy to be, just adjust this by adding more or reducing the amount of coconut cream to your liking.
Though my family said this home cooked laksa was not bad, somehow I felt a little oomph was missing. May be I will test it out by adding extra dried shrimps; blachan, coriander powder and chilli powder to the remaining gravy.
Laksa ingredients I used:
30 fishballs [homemade]
300g medium prawns
10 tofu puffs
2stalks lemon grass, white stem portion, crushed
4 tbsp oil
2 packets of 200 ml coconut cream
Salt and ajinomoto to taste
1 tbsp sugar
Pepper
500g (1 lb) dried thick rice noodles
300g bean sprouts, scalded
Ground ingredients into a paste:
12 shallots, peeled
15 dried chillies, softened in hot water
3 red chillies
½ tbsp blachan (shrimp paste)
3 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked for a while in water to soften
6 buah keras (candlenuts)
1 thumb size turmeric or 1 tsp turmeric powder
½ tbsp roasted coriander powder
1 stalk lemon grass

I was having a little experiment with dye. This is cotton and raw and really took well to a bath in tea,blackcurrant, rose petals
and tumeric. The rose petals dis not a thing except make me happy and look pretty floating in the bowl.
In India and the Middle East every family has their own, closely guarded, recipe for the spices that when prepared and mixed together are known in the West as Curry.. I know that a particular Yemenite family has different curries for use in soup and for other particular dishes. The soup curry is known as hawaij. This means there is not just one curry per family, but a family of curries for each family.
Perhaps some cooks do feature their own family's recipe in their published cookbooks. I have found a few curry recipes online.
Here is the best article I have found on the different spices used as ingredients in a number of well known currie powders:
www.lionsgrip.com/curingredients.html
According to Wikepedia;
1. Curry powder is a spice mix of widely varying composition based on South Asian cuisine. Curry powder and the contemporary English use of the word "curry" are Western inventions and do not reflect any specific South Asian food, though a similar mixture of spices used in north South Asia is called garam masala.
2. Curry powder is actually closer to the Tamil sambar powder,[citation needed] and the word "curry" is derived from the Tamil word kari meaning "sauce, relish for rice", or from the Kannada word karil or from the Telugu word kuura.
Use of curry was prevalent in South Asia much before the advent of Europeans in India. In fact, almost 4000 years prior to the advent of Europeans, curry with key ingredients of ginger, garlic, and turmeric was used in the Indus Valley Civilization.
I add:
1. However, traders from Arabia and from Portuguese Goa introduced very hot Brazilian chile peppers, and that added new dimensions to the curry ingredients and taste pallet. .
2. Also, their mixing of other Asian spices enabled the development of 'curi'.
Ingredients
Most curry powder recipes include coriander, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek, and chili peppers in their blends. Depending on the recipe, additional ingredients such as ginger, garlic, asafoetida, fennel seed, caraway, cinnamon, clove, mustard seed, green cardamom, black cardamom, nutmeg, long pepper, and black pepper may also be included. Quality curry powder will contain curry leaf.[4][citation needed]
I add: I have no idea what curry leaf is!!
