I am kind of obsessed with CookEatBlog; I've been drooling over all of their curries for the past few days, and I finally broke down and am making cardamom-lamb curry (with beef instead of lamb, because the lamb either didn't look good or was in too-large packages). I also had to control myself at the Indian grocery: 2-pound bags of coriander seeds! Ground turmuric in larger quantities than I buy all-purpose flour! White poppy seeds! But now I do have cardamom to bake with -- I have an idea about taking my grandmother's coffeecake recipe and making pistachio-marzipan - cardamom sweet rolls...

ALSO: Wouldn't Oedipus At Colonus make a great western? (Bitter mysterious old man shows up in town with his two daughters and on the run; sheriff promises to protect him; then the feud/shootout he's left behind catches up with them all.)

Now, I always partly suspected that most of Anatole's celebrated dishes would be things that I, a semi-picky eater, would not be terribly enthralled by. But this, and this? Or this? Now these, I would conceivably make or eat. But the others? Not with the proverbial 10-foot pole.
