The Indian food turned out to be fantastic--but as far as that detox diet goes I had screwed up by using the reccomended butter in the Boxed Goodes recipe. We actually went to an Indian restaraunt for the first time in a long time last night. I'm starting to recognize and remember a lot of the common menu items by now. I decided I like naan better than roti. Every place is a little different, but I think that one of my favorites by far was/is Wings Express at UConn in Storrs. They have the best vegetable pakora--which is actually hard to find, try it if you find it! Tonight I actually bought a couple of round steaks to cook for my boyfriend, keeping my fingers crossed tomorrow b/c I usually screw this kind of thing up!
Also, I found Pina Colada Jello at the store this evening; I figure it will make bangin' Jello Shots this summer. I love making Jello shots for parties, even though I'm not fond of Jello myself. The key to making good Jello shots is to "aquire" or buy those little plastic sample cups, then line them up in a large cake pan or two--make sure that they wont have room to slide around. Next give them the lightest dusting of unflavored Pam spray. Mix two boxes of Jello in a large glass or metal bowl following the first step of the directions *but decrease the boiling water from 2C to 1 and 1/2C. Do not add any additional water. Then you have to wait until the Jello cools down before you add the booze, now this means you will have to keep an eye on it and stir from time to time. Ideally you catch it while it's still almost warm but not setting yet(this is usually where I screw up). Then add 2C alcohol and stir well. As for pouring the shots, I prefer to use a 2C glass Pyrex liquid measuring-cup to ladel out the Jello and then pour evenly in the cups. Cover with plastic wrap, chill and enjoy!
