I finally get to cook for friends again! Last time I made a beef and stout pie, herb roasted potatoes, and ginger glazed carrots. I'll have to post the pie recipe later because it was deeeeelicious!
Tonight, however, is Indian night. I'm making:
Murgh Masallam - chicken in a tangy spiced sauce with yogurt
Mughlai potatoes - potatoes in a creamy sauce
Saag - spinach without the paneer (cheese) because I'm too lazy to make it
Samosas - fried pastries with potatoes, peas and spices.
These recipes are from www.ruchiskitchen.com. If you like Indian food, there are TONS of great resources on the web, but I tend to go to Ruchi's Kitchen the most.
I've decided that I am going to honor Annapurna as my kitchen goddess. Many honor Hestia, and I honor her as well, but there are so many kitchen deities from so many cultures around the world. I've done a post on Annapurna and a few other deities, including recipes to make for those deities.
I'm actually thinking of a second book before the first one even gets written. I'm planning on a book that covers various kitchen and hearth gods, plus foods you can make from those cultures in order to honor them. Any thoughts?
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I have a lot of straightening up to do before I can even start cooking! Good thing I got up early!

That second book sounds great! I'd love it... there is so little out on kitchen magic, and I love reading up and comparing notes (if only in my head).
