What's on your plate today?

While it may be too early for traditional Christmas tamales, it's never too early for tamales in my opinion. I helped my mom all day long, as I have the past 5 or so years, and we cranked out a batch. Pictured is a cheese and chili one on the left side and a chicken one on the right. We also made some pork ones as well as sweet pineapple ones. We also made some champurrado to drink.

We make tamales at Christmas time, with our good friends. It's always a fun time.

Rum cakes!

Not exactly "on my plate," but Saturday my church is hosting the CYO soccer playoffs. They're doing a Toys for Tots toy drive / bake sale in conjunction. Each team needs a certain number of volunteers. I figured it was easier to make a dozen rum cakes than babysit a bunch of kids running a toy drive / bake sale for an hour that I didn't have to be at the field. The other 6 are still in the oven, because I'm an idiot, and only have one mini-bundt pan.
 
Thanksgiving potluck here at work. We're a small office of 6 people and brought food for double that. There's pork and chicken tamales, frittata, grilled chicken, fruit platter, breakfast-mish-mash casserole, and I threw together a french toast casserole. So full yet I still want to keep eating.
 
We're going to an Indian Buffet today. My son is game to try it. I love Indian food, and this place has a good reputation.
I made onion Rings and Cheeseburgers last night. I ate way too many onion rings.

I'm very VERY picky about Indian food, but love me some chicken tikka masala!

My experience is limited, but based on home cooking. I spent a few months in an Indian owned Motel. The owners took a liking to me, and fed me constantly. I never even learned all the names of the dishes. I don't think there was anything I didn't like.

I don't venture too far on the menus lol I know what I like, and I typically stick to it. I do love curry and some of the spicey stuff, oh and definatley some naan!
 
Indian is one of those types of food that I can never seem to get enough of. Give me a whole pot of butter chicken, some rice, and some garlic naan and I am one slap happy fellow. Then throw some galub Jamon at me for dessert.
 
I just started trying Indian food . . . it was a very hard cuisine to find down here for a long time, but I tried some last time I was in Austin for a work conference and loved it. My new on campus office turns out to just across the street from a Middle Eastern deli that features some Indian selections, and the other distance teaching specialists and I have been going there for lunch on Fridays. Delicious.

There's also a large Indian buffet that just opened right around the corner, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Soon, though. Soon.

That is exactly what I like, it's the best. I settle for tikka masala because the place that had butter chicken closed down!

Masala-Spiced Chicken with Kale and Lime Rice. It was good but should have used less of the Masala spice blend.
 
Today and for the next few days . . . this is 10 freakin' pounds of Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork:

When Mom was with us, we'd have Thanksgiving at her house, and later, when her health began failing, at mine---but she'd still do the pies and the dinner rolls, until that last year when even that was too much for her. I did a downsized but traditional Thanksgiving after that; a smoked turkey breast and what are seriously the world's best scalloped potatoes and a pie from the bakery, but this year I just thought, "What the hell? It's just me" and decided to make something easy that I could eat clear through the weekend. :)

We just got back from round 2 - Indian Buffet. It's pretty good, and a fair price. So nice to have another option.

If you're ever willing to travel, you're welcome here. I don't even need much notice. I always make too much. It's never just you.
