Chinese Five Spice

When we tried making some eggrolls, one of the recipes called for Chinese Five spice.  I did not have any and did not want to run to the store for a small amount.

While ground spices work for this recipe, using freshly ground is much better!

If you do not have many recipes that uses Chinese Five Spice, I read to try it in your favorite ginger or molasses cookie recipe.

Curry

We enjoy curry in many ways.  Allan came up with this simple recipe.

Curry with bones, the way Allan prefers, thickens the sauce better and has more pronounced flavor.  I prefer not to have to dig out bones while eating, so make it how ever you prefer.

To stretch the curry more, use more onions and tomatoes and adjust spices.  You can also add diced potatoes and peas if desired.
