Hello to a short little vacation. Much needed. I don't have very much time to take off as I cashed in my leave when I went on DROP (retired ...kinda...in May). But even a few days out of the office is special and needed.
We are spending a few days at St George Island but on the bay side this time. It's only a 2 hour ride and that makes it easier while traveling with Aja. Next year we want to head north to the Carolinas so that will require extra planning. Scoping out a place to retire and we like the mountains so that's a winning plan for us.
Vacation photos will be posted later in the week & I think I will start an album for them on iTunes as well. Not too familiar with how to do that but I may get a new phone and I don’t want to risk losing photos.
So, I Heart Cooking Club has a Potluck going on this week and I will link up with a Jamie Oliver version of Rogan Josh. As always I took liberties by adjusting ingredients to our taste.

By the way, I am doing this on a tablet and it’s not going smoothly, I guess some features are best to update on a real computer. Photos will be posted of the bay side accommodations later in the week.
Thank you, Vicki, it was good. I am becoming quite a fan of Indian cuisine. Vacations are certainly needed for a reset now and then.
ReplyDeleteI have not hear of rogan josh curry paste before but we do love Indian food. Looks like a tasty meal. Good luck with the home search.
ReplyDeleteI love Indian food and this looks amazing! I loved your vacation pictures on Instagram. It looked so relaxing! We're mountain people too. We've talked about buying some land near Murphreesboro, TN because it's got such a roll to it but who knows if it'll ever happen. The Carolinas are gorgeous too and much cooler than you're used too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I hadn’t thought if Murphressboro but I will check it out. NC has a state income tax but we like it there. Oh, this Indian sauce has a kick, you will like it!
Sorry I haven't replied to your email. I'm hanging in there but it's been hard and I haven't been the best at corresponding. So happy to hear that you're looking for a place to retire. That is exciting. My husband and I always talk about whether we prefer the mountains or the beach and I always say mountains. There is just that feeling of peace and a connection there that I don't have with the beach. Plus, it's so cozy. Looking forward to hearing about your choice!
ReplyDeleteRogan Josh looks delicious. I love the idea of a veggie dish like this that is so comforting and substantial. Haven't cooked with Jamie in awhile. I need to grab his books.
The simplicity and the flavors of the ingredients and spices speak to me. I love putting together a dish like this in one form or another.
ReplyDeleteI love this dish, I should try Jamie's version
ReplyDeleteI've made this before and we love it!
