I've finally put up my Bosnian Menu. I cooked the meal what now seems like ages ago, and had my friends Parker and Donovan over. The food was pretty good, and we all had a great time.

Comments on my Bosnian menu can be left here and they will be linked from the Bosnian Menu page.

Today we went to Favorite India for lunch and had their buffet. At $7 each it was quite a bargain. The buffet had various vegetarian entrees, as well as tandori chicken, chicken masala and a chinese-style dish with noodles and very spicy chicken. The latter was good, but the chicken masala was so delicious - velvety with just the right amount of citric - that that's all I wanted to eat. The chicken tandoori was good as well, moist and not too fatty.

Though the non-vegetarian choices were fewer than at other places, we had one of the best buffet experiences. I'll certainly go back for lunch when I have the opportunity.

I've finally decided what to make for Thanksgiving. Here is my menu:

-Bread with olive oil, white balsamic vinegar & cream cheese
-Braised Chicken with bacon & bread stuffing (325, 2 hours)
-Traditional green beans casserole (350, 25')
-Mashed potatoes
-Chevy's corn tomalito (250, 2 hours)
-Persimmon bread (350, 1 hour)
-Apple pie

I want to have a semi-traditional thanksgiving, so that my 4-yo can start appreciating traditions, but I'm not a big fan of turkey. Plus, our friends Lola and Iggy will be coming to dinner after having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at their family's, so I want to offer them something somewhat different. Any suggestions/comments?
