Punk Baby Names

What do I like to do for fun? Look at my stats on blogger... for example you can see what search terms bring people to your site. The top 4 search terms which bring people to my site are: 1.  speculoos hagel    ~very understandable - I did a post about these when they first showed up in the supermarket by my house. They are pretty good - but not nearly as good as crunchy speculoos pasta - which I avoid buying because it's that good... it's like that saying - an ounce on the lips - a pound on the hips ... well yeah - that's about right! 2. cutekittypunk.blogspot.com -    ~mmmm - self explanatory 3. spumoni cake    ~ ahh, yes - delicious. .. or as they say in Italian:  delizioso ! The original post can be seen here .  4. punk baby names    ~um, yeah, I've probably talked about baby names in the past. Let me do a quick search on my site to see what comes up...yep... 3 hits - 3 times I talked about baby names in past posts. But t...

Tonight we eat Dutch-Indonesian Nasi with rice :) And next week I explore some yeast breads... mmmm :P yum. P.S.  Taking and editing photos with Instagram is fun,  but you cannot enlarge the photos anymore than this...  Note to self: edit them myself next time!

Photo credit: Mock "Indian Butter Chicken" Curry You see, this is why I prefer the Primal Blueprint to the Paleo thing... What's the difference... Cheese, cream, butter... fat!   Mmmm yummy :) Tonight I tried a recipe from Mark's Daily Apple - it was a reader submitted recipe - I was so excited to try it what with all the butter, cream and Greek yogurt in it. And I was really disappointed... and also at the same time very happy to find out that I already have the best recipe for Indian Butter Chicken - created by yours truly :) I did a search of my blog and I've found that this recipe - that I make at least 3 times a month - is not on my blog - and that's just wrong! This is definitely one of our family favorites - something I call real comfort food. I must share this delicious recipe with the world. The original recipe I got from a friend of a friend - and I liked that she put cashew butter in it - but it had way too much Garam Masala in...
