I had an amazing meal at Tomo in Rat City tonight. Y’all codgers would be amazed. We weren’t even assaulted outside or anything!

No gang bangers ?
No Crack dealers ?
No Hookers ?

Sounds boring, I can get that out here...
Rat City has really gone to hell, well back in my day there'd have been at least a drive by.

Tomo looks interesting.

White Center, a neighborhood south of Seattle that used to be pretty rough in the 70,s, 80's and 90's, and is now more gentrification and safer from what I hear.

Not quite West Seattle, not quite Burien, technically an island of unincorporated, lawless King County, a real known s—hole of a County. (Or some have said)
To say it’s gentrified might be a little bit of a stretch. I guess you could say it’s transitional. Creative, entrepreneurial people looking for lower rents gotta go somewhere.

I want to start making a good red lentil dahl but toasting and grinding whole spices seems like a lot for a workaday meal. Can anyone recommend a good premade dahl spice mix, maybe along these lines?

I ordered this and some dried curry leaves:


I'm going to fry the seeds and curry leaves in some ghee and then add that mix (a "tadka" as I'm learning) to my split red lentil stew.

I'll report back.

Thank You! I have been looking for granulated lemon peel for a long time. Bob's Red Mill was in my 'hood until the retail store is no more. I use ground medium black pepper mixed with the dried lemon peel. Storebought has sugar in it...

What do you make with the pepper/dried lemon peel combo? Or is it used just like store bought lemon pepper (which I like on chicken)?

Use it like store bought pepper/dried lemon peel. I have to limit my salt intake because salt makes me puff up like a puffer fish and retains water.
