Samosas

Yesterday for dinner we tried something new: samosas. They are like little Indian style perogies. The recipe we used called for baking them rather than deep frying. They were pretty tasty along with a coconut milk and mint chutney for dipping. The insides are filled with potatoes, edamame (soy beans), carrot, onion, popped yellow mustard seed, popped cumin seed, and turmeric. The turmeric sure turns everything a yellowly orange color, there is some in the dough as well. The samosas were a little time consuming to make so this is definitely a dish reserved for the weekends only. Each Monday morning is my weekly weigh in and this morning I gained a pound from last week - boo. But my freshly washed and out of the dryer jeans fit just a little loose this morning (that has got to be one of the best feelings in the world!) so that must mean all the working out is not in vain. On the weekend we watched two new movies. 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby' was pretty funny, especially because being down here we see people that talk and act exactly like that. Those two little boys were hilarious!. 'Thank You for Smoking' was excellent - it's about a tobacco spin doctor. The main character is perfect and the movie is a really funny satire on current day morality and the whole political correctness crap. I highly recommend it!
