Friday Food – Indian Adventure!

Posted in Food, Friday Food, Friends, Photos by Kara

A couple weeks ago I had mentioned that I have never had Indian food before. Melissa was shocked apparently, and took the opportunity to take me out for dinner as thanks for not killing her cats while she was away.

We went to Flavours of India (after I polled my coworkers and Kamloops bloggers!) and the experience began!

Since Mel doesn’t eat meat and I can’t live without it, I asked around as to what dish I should try. Meghan suggested I have Tikka Masala while Angela suggested the Butter Chicken. What did I go with in the end? Chicken Tikka Masala!

Mel also ordered me mango lassi, which was tasty as hell, and garlic Naan bread.

Tastiest mango drink ever! Which actually looks similar to my roasted garlic soup …

Soon our meals came and maaaan, was it a delicious spread! Mel ordered Chickpea Malasa (I think) and my Chicken Tikka Masala looked soooo good!

Rice, malasa and more rice, Oh My!

Let me just say that I’ve never been so excited to try new foods! The smell was amazing. Final verdict? I looooove Indian food and can’t wait to try more! I just wish Kyle liked it so we could go together. (He’s not a fan of spicy food at all!)

So thanks Melissa for a lovely date! And I promise next time I’ll put out, ahahaha! ;)

Happy weekend everyone!!

Okay, NOW you can have a good weekend!

Friday Food: Soup WIN!

Posted in Friday Food, Photos, Video by Kara

A couple weeks ago, I posted about my horrific failure at soup making. After gathering my food-esteem up off the ground, I figured I’d give it another shot!

This time, it worked out beautifully! I didn’t use the whine wine vinegar (or any wine, even) and instead of using our little Magic Bullet to blend up the soup, I used our BRAND NEW BLENDER!!!

Will it blend, that is the question!

Kyle and I have been saving up Save On More points since we fist moved to Kamloops almost six years ago and we finally decided to use them on a household item! How grown-up of us, right? I thought so!

So since the blender came it just in time for my day off, I figured I’d put it to use and retry the soup. It turned out good! It was missing something but I couldn’t figure out what. Anyway, it was great and I even garnished it with a little Parmesan cheese. Yum! (Cheese makes everything amazing, BTW).
