Raita


As much as I love to cook and as much as I try to avoid prepackaged foods, there are some days that I just don't have the time or energy to make anything from scratch. And then there are some foods that I actually prefer in the packaged form.

Take, for instance, chana masala.

Tartines


I'm so far behind in posts. Things have been crazy, sigh...

Anyhoo, these tartines are something I discovered while at my parents place over Christmas, while catching up on cable TV. I was watching Barefoot Contessa and she had gone to a Parisian bakery where they baked these huge, round loaves of bread which they then used to make open-faced sandwiches called tartines.
