Internet, Eh? @interneteh@sunbeam.city

We are goin out. Turns out our favorite winery has opened a bar in Springfield. Neat.

I think it was a little too ginger-forward, but the family likes it

Serve with the rice and/or naan

When the flavor and consistency is right, add your chicken back in (or add paneer, chickpeas, whatever) and stir to combine. To finish, add some honey and lots of fresh cream

When the onions are see through, add the sauce back in and simmer. Add paprika for color, more cardamom, clove and curry powder. Keep tasting as you go.

Add more butter to an empty pot and sautee onions, garlic and ginger

Next, puree

While that's happening, make your rice. Rinse three times, add whole green and black cumin

The next step is important. You have to simmer your tomatoes well. The sharp, acidic tang of tomato is not what you want in the finished dish. You want to transform it into something rich, savory, silky and buttery. To do that, simmer the tomatoes for a good long while until they turn pulpy and soft.

Remove cooked chicken, add butter to pot. Toss in green cardamom and my secret weapon: some blades of mace. That's the outer covering of nutmeg. Once these have simmered in the pot a bit, toss in tomatoes.

Next, rough chop tomatoes, garlic, ginger and onion. Optional: your favorite hot pepper. I don't have any fresh pepper right now.

Want to make some butter chicken? Here we go. First cook chicken thighs, in oil and butter. The pieces are coated in a curry powder I made

Tonight making butter chicken with fresh tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes are still really tasty. I felt like all the rain was gonna dilute the flavor somehow

These wild grapes are super fragrant. Smells almost like grape Crush

Hey, check it out. It's a lil daikon radish. These guys have taken off! The leaves feel so delicate

Got some more of the Frieda Kahlo roses

Let's take a walk in the garden today. See what's up.
