Promises of Food

I said I would be posting about some food endeavors in my last update, so here goes! First, Leigh and I decided to make some delicious sounding cupcakes - "Carrot Cake Cupcakes with a Cream Cheese Surprise."













They didn't turn out quite as carrot cake-y as I anticipated, but they were still totally delicious and disappeared by the end of the day - a sign of great success, haha.













Then, yesterday, Bryan and I were trying to think of something a little more exciting than usual to make for dinner, so we started exploring what turned out to be the BEST cookbook of all time - Jaimie's around the world cookbook. We ended up deciding on Chicken Biryani, and after about 3 hours of seemingly endless grocery shopping to find all of the more eclectic ingredients (pretty sure the lady at the Indochine Market thinks we're idiots), we started cooking!













Not to toot my own horn or anything, but it turned out DELICIOUS. Plus, we only used about 1/4 tsp of every spice, so now we can make Indian food all the time! Like tonight! Next on the menu: Chicken Tikka Masala, yum. Here's the final product, although the picture would be more effective if you could smell it too :)
