I love this blasted cookbook when it works, but this is the second error I've found in it. You're going along, adding spices at a critical point, and WHEE!add onions WHAT ONIONS HOW MANY AND HOW CUT UP --

Fortunately, her recipe is on-line, or damage would have resulted. Like, two finely chopped is NOT one sliced in rings, the time-saving format.....

What cookbook?

Must retreat on this --

Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking -- There's only one error, in a recipe that needs a certain amount of water added. This recipe *did* have onion, but it was in metric and onion was the fourth word, so my LBb brain missed it.

Otherwise, I love the cookbook -- every recipe has been wonderful, good pictures to inspire me. Of course it takes all day to create a totally Indian dinner. (There was one recipe with four cups of fresh cilantro -- I cut it back to one, and we'll use even less next time. Maybe it's cultural, but cilantro is all I can taste when it's used as a vegetable....)

I have an Indian cookbook that will probably never get used in my house. It's part of a set of books published by someone like Williams Sonoma, but not Williams Sonoma. So it's in metric.

You're welcome to borrow it, page through it, copy stuff out, whatever your level of committment to homemade Indian food allows you.

Huh. I'd love to look, at least! Thanx --

lyme

Some years ago when I realised that some time before I had had the classic lyme doughnut rash, I went to see my (now former) MD. -I had also been experiencing the joint pains and repeat respiratory problems-. He looked at me and said well it had been endemic on the Cape probably for generations- and people had coexisted with it. I had to be very insistant to get a short course of antibiotic ( which I now know was totally inadequate!
As I said he is former!
I think that the extensive medicationt hat I had before and after sinus surgery a year later probably cleared it up. I HOPE !
Its maddening.

My Lyme person's father lives in Connecticut. He got the rash and immediately went in -- he had to argue with his doctor for 20 minutes to get the antibiotics for a month. Haven't heard if that took care of it for him -- he's in his 80s.

If you check my post on the politics of Lyme, you'll see that it really is a conspiracy of a couple dozen docs. I don't know if they actively decided upon this course, or if the Insurance companies are actively in it with them, or what. But when you lay out the entire picture, it looks mighty fishy.

The antibiotics for the sinus infection may have either beaten into remission or possibly even cured the Lyme. (High fever -- in the 104-106 region -- can also cure Lyme. If you survive it.)
