I know less than nothing about Indian food and perhaps this place is like the many cookie cutter chineseish restaurants but I did look at the other tables around me. The bowls of rice and the baskets of naan were easy to identify but the main dishes all appeared to be homogeneous globs of unidentifiable contents in various shades of orangeish or reddish brown. I was told some were chicken, some were lamb, some were seafood and some were vegetarian but they all looked the same and appeared to have been prepared sometime in the last week or two. To those who enjoy quality Indian food can you ever tell what you are being served by looking at the ingredients as you can with fresh Thai or Vietnamese dishes or does it always appear to be an overcooked amorphous blob of who knows what?

How’s the rat population in the neighborhood?

For a day lol. Really it was a move to clean out odds and ends from the garden and the fridge and it was the theme that seemed most unifying based on what we had on hand

That's my take on Indian food generally. And 4 star spicy hot as hell too! I concluded that Indian cuisine just isn't intended for this Scandinavian.

Chicken thighs baked in the oven. Covered a lasagna pan with aluminum foil, laid a baking rack in the bottom. Chicken thighs go on the rack while oven heats up at 350 degrees. Sprinkle with BBQ spices and sauce, cover tightly and seal with a sheet of the foil, shiny side down. In oven for an hour and 30 minutes, turn off oven for 15 minutes at the end of the 1.5 hour. Yum! Was tired of frozen microwaved dinners! Add thighs to a sealable container and in the fridge.

No pics, but my neighbor just gave me a batch of homemade pickles. Holy cow they are good! Killer on my ham sandwich I had for lunch.
Once my basil is ready, she is going to make me some pesto.
