Sun, Nov 23 -rose oatmeal

11.13am - rose-raspberry oatmeal, made with vanilla rice milk, rose water and some exquisite French dried raspberries, at home, with Ritesh.
These are the dried raspberries that I picked up at the Grande Epicerie in Paris earlier this year. They were so exquisite that they cost 42.50 Euros per kilo (approx. $65 a kilo, or $30 a pound), so I skimped and only got a tiny amount. But they were delicious - should have gotten a little more...2.04pm - leftover ginger-turmeric soup, radish salad w/ leftover chipotle dressing from Mrs. Winston's, leftover potato chips and pita w/ tarama, at home, with Ritesh
7.46pm - Ritesh outdid himself tonight: he made a coconut-based Goa-style fish curry from scratch! This involved chopping up a fresh coconut and blending the meat (no canned coconut milk in Ritesh's cooking!) and so many other steps that it took him a good couple of hours of solid work to get it all done. And it was amazing! Thanks, love!
I did take a very sweet picture of him and the coconut, but he vetoed me posting it online :(
7.48pm - radish salad and coconut water w/ lime, at home, with Ritesh
9.53pm - a chocolate souffle from Paris (Comtesse DuBarry) that I stumbled across this morning in the pantry, with some hot home made raspberry sauce. The souffle collapsed very quickly and we think it wasn't altogether done yet either. Would be nice to learn how to prepare this properly and make it from scratch, too...
