Patak's Tikka Masala Curry Sauce

Patak's Tikka Masala Curry Sauce (can) It's curry in a can! At first I was pretty leery of it, but once I tried it... WOW!

First of all, it's really easy. Just add a half can of milk They also have a super-easy recipe on the back, involving fried onions and chicken (or veggies, seafood, or other types of meat). You basically just let it all simmer with the curry sauce until it's cooked and hot. The cooking required is ludicrously easy.

What results is a surprising amount of curry that can make 2-4 meals depending on how much naan, bread, rice, or other staple you eat it with. It's also surprisingly tasty.
The curry is rich and flavourful as a curry should be. It's also quite thick -- thicker than a lot of curries I've had at Indian restaurants.

The main problem with it is that it isn't spicy-hot. It's rated at "medium" spicy, but for me there was no real heat at all. You'll have to add your own chili, preferably during "cooking" (i.e., when you heat it up) so that it all blends in better.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

How much candy can you bring to America

I have a friend in the US who used to live in Canada -- so she's noticed that some things taste differently. Such as Twizzlers . And she likes Canadian Twizzlers better. So I inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as to how much I could bring: I am visiting a friend in San Francisco later this year. She wants Twizzlers -- she says the same product in the US tastes differently from those in Canada. How much am I allowed to bring into the US for her? I don't go to the US regularly and she doesn't come to Canada regularly, so I was thinking of getting her more than just a couple of bags. Here is their initial reply: You can bring the candy to the US, and there is no set limit on the amount. All you have to do is declare the food to a CBP officer at the border or airport.
