Goat curry

I haven’t made it yet but I certainly plan to soon.

Could the entire subfield of American politics please stop talking about the 77th Congress or the 103rd Congress and start talking about the 1941-42 Congress and the 1993-94 Congress and so forth? This would just make everybody's life easier. —Gelman.

Chicken Paprikás

I have been asked for my tasty chicken paprikás recipe. It's so simple a dish I cannot claim ownership – the one I learned from my grandfather is not really any different from June Meyer's excellent version here. I usually serve it with simple dumplings:

two flour
two eggs
some water (half a cup? more?)

Mix in a bowl with enough water to make a medium-sticky dough. Using a large pot of well salted boiling water, cut dumplings with a spoon directly from the bowl (it will come off easily in the water). I usually do this in two or three batches, skimming them out so they are varying levels of chewy.

a delightful dilemma

prik khing curry with chicken and long beans
chicken and vegetables in peanut sauce
quiche with bacon and mustard greens
linguine alla carbonara
roasted fennel and apple
something with eggplant. probably thai red curry, but maybe something chinese.

And the dilemma I wish I had every day of the year: what to do with about 4 pounds of tomatoes, a meaty red heirloom variety, green zebras, and sungolds.
