I cooked

I know. Your shocked. I cooked. I get it into my head that I should.

Actually, I got it into my head last weekend. I spent Monday night baking. I made these oat bran muffins. Hmm. Not so great. I consulted a vegan message board and found out I was supposed to have soaked my flaxseed. I will try yet again.

Last night, I made my own Indian meal following Renu's instructions. Chicken tika masala and aloo with some wheat naan. I didn't make the naan. I had that frozen in the freezer, but I made the other two.

The chicken tika actually didn't have a recipe. Renu didn't give me one. It was all about eye cooking. Does the paste look like its the right color? Should it be a bit darker? Should I add more sour cream to make it pinker?

I ended up putting in a bit more butter and tomato then she did when we cooked together. I love spicy, but I had put in so much garlic and pepper, I had to calm that down a bit. I have some left over which I will eat cold this weekend. I love cold indian. Its like all the spices congeal and you ahve a completely different dish.

I will try to keep up with this cooking thing.
