Movie list for the weekend

Two movies to watch this weekend ...

First, everyone needs to watch "A Fish Called Wanda." Because it made me laugh so hard that I fell off my couch.

Also, you guys need to watch "A Taste of Cherry." It is an amazing foreign movie that won all kinds of awards and it is supposed to have the best movie ending in ... well... history. Will someone please watch it and explain the ending to me?

First Snoop post (you love it)

um, what?

and yes, that is willie nelson.  yep.

How-To (waste bunches of time, like me!)

So when you guys are added as authors, I'll grant you admin privileges, and then you can add items to the lists by clicking on the little wrench/screwdriver "x" on the lower right hand corner of each list section.  Then you can add item titles (in the pop-up window), and attach a link by clicking on the green blob on the right side of the "add item" text box (it'll pop up a little window you can copy and paste the internet address into). If you want to write out your own recipe, just type it in a new blog post and link the "item added" in the list to that blog post address, so we can find it easier in the future...

and please, if anyone knows a more logical way, help me out because this whole technology thing is news to me!  yay, can't wait to hear from y'all!

Goodtimes ahead

Hey ladies,
I'm glad to be here to steal your secret recipes! Maybe we could find a way to snatch the KFC recipe that is being relocated. Anyone in for the adventure?

Back to reading for work....

Welcome to fun times!!

I'm so excited to join in on this blog! Woohooooo! I love finding things to pass the time with all my homegirls. Will it only be recipes, movies, and tunes?? Will there be expansion upon this??

Peace out girlies!

saag paneer (spinach & cheese)

If I give you guys this recipe you probably won't think I'm cool anymore, since now I won't have a monopoly on the Indian night dinners.  Shoot.  Here you go anyways...

Ingredients:

1 pkg frozen chopped spinach (or 1 lb-ish fresh, chopped)

2 small-medium onions, chopped largely

2 cloves garlic, diced largely

1 inch ginger, peeled and chopped

1-2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2-1 tsp salt

1/8-1/4 tsp ground cayenne

1/4 cup half and half (if vegan, replace with something soy-yogurty? or leave out)

1 lb-ish paneer (or other firm, non-melting cheese, or chickpeas/potatoes if vegan)

Directions:

First cut the paneer into 1 inch cubes, dust with flour and pan fry in veggie oil til light brown.  Drain on paper towel and set aside. (If you do potatoes or meat instead, add some garlic powder and/or ginger powder while you saute it)

 

Saute onions, garlic, ginger, jalapenos in veggie oil until brown; add thawed spinach and saute until mixed well and hot all the way through (or wilted if fresh spinach). Let cool; dump it all in a food processor and chop it up until it looks like chunky slime.

Put the slime back in the pan with a little bit of oil, heat it up, add the spices and saute for 5 minutes.  Then add the half and half, heat a little more until all blended and it looks neon green, then add paneer and mix up until hot and delicious!  Eat it up with basmati rice (2 cups water per cup rice, cooks in about 20 mins).
