Butter Chicken with Raisin Rice

When I got home from work this evening I had this ridiculous craving for Butter Chicken so I made it! I served it with raisin brown rice (another one of my favorite recipes). It tasted sooo good!

Have a look for yourself :)

(I realized that typing recipes is quite a chore so from now on I'll just post the pictures and if anyone actually ever wants to try the recipe then just ask me to and I'll put it up :)

Cutting Tradition through TIFF

I went to the Canteen once again this evening. It feels like I'm soon becoming a regular there :). I had the maple roasted squash served with mozzarella, balsamic, sage and a grilled lemon and herb chicken. So delicious.

It was my first time however to go for a film at the TIFF Bell Lightbox since it opened. My girlfriend asked me to check out the premiere of a friend's film. The Cutting Tradition narrated by Meryl Streep is a production of Safe Hands. This documentary is about the female genital mutilation in Africa. It had such powerful visual effects- very disturbing graphics, but powerful. Although I found it to be a well done film, it was definitely hard to watch. I chose to ask a provocative question and make a bold statement because I was upset by some of the ignorant comments that were being made throughout the Q & A. I dislike it when as people we create a "them" and an "us" especially when "they" aren't in the room to defend or speak for themselves.

Overall, such an exceptional evening and I really enjoyed spending time with my friend.

Read the Tassimo Manual

My lovely mother got me one of those über fancy Tassimo Brewers for Christmas. I love it!

I finally got around to reading the manual, did the "before you use" procedures (which turned out to be quite a lengthy read and process).

I then brewed my first cup of cocoa (how appropriate eh?)!
