Shhh … Silent Sunday. 4/7/24

Okay, sorry but the Sunday Silence just ended.

So. Robert and I have been members of our local library’s Fight Club, I mean SPICE CLUB! for a while now. Every couple of months, they present a new spice, with a little history about the spice and a few recipes to try.

We Love It!

The current spice is … Vadouvan. One of my very favorite! Okay, TIB (Truth in Blogging): I have never heard of it before.

“Simply put, Vadouvan is a French curry powder. Vadouvan combines many of the classic flavors of Indian cuisine in a typically French preparation. French chefs in southeastern India used a Tamil spice blend, known as vadavam or vadagam, as their primary influence when creating vadouvan. The flavor of vadouvan is best described as being mellow and sweet with smoky notes.” SpiceClub

And the vadouvan recipe I chose to try?

It took a while to prep, but oh my goodness, how delicious it was! I served it with yellow saffron rice. 

Even though I broke the silence on my Silent Sunday post, you REALLY needed to know about Vadouvan, didn’t you?

HR (Husband Robert—you know that) and I are together probably 95% of the time.

So this evening, after we did a little shopping, Robert suggested that I shashay down BY MYSELF to my favorite oyster bar here in Savannah, Sorry Charlie’s.

So I did.

Chef’s Sampler, dozen. With lots of fancy names and points of origin, which I promptly forgot.

I have this quirky habit where I turn over the oyster shell once I eat the oyster.

Four left.

Just DELICIOUS.

But I wonder who the first person was, who decided to eat … an oyster!

Last one.

I hope you ate something delicious on this Sunday.
