Retro Wednesday...




Do any of you remember these?
You clamp the clip to grounded metal, and slide the tip of the radio up and down to pick up local AM broadcasts. Over the years I replaced the small ear phone with a bigger ear piece.
Yes, I've had this since 1960, and of course it still works...
Peace...!!!

A Taste of India....







Hi everybody...
Yesterday after work, we travelled to Ann Arbor where my daughter lives, and we visited a very cool Indian Market. 5#'s of Jasmine rice cost $3.59! I also bought some Nan, various spices, and some Tandori Chicken spice mix. Even though I don't have a clay Tandori oven, I baked it then broiled it. It was very aromatic and flavorful!
To make this recipe', I took the spice packet and mixed it with plain yogurt. I then coated the chicken in the mixture and let it set in the fridge for 3 hours. I then baked it for 45 minutes at 375 covered. I then uncovered it and broiled it for about 12 minutes to make it look grilled. I made some curried veggies sauteed in coconut milk, and some cumino seed/morel mushroom Jasmine rice, and warmed up the Nan. Man oh Man....One of my very best meals ever!!
I need a nap.
Have a Great Week Everyone...
Peace...!!!

Women with their 'Pie'.
With their 'Dark and Vicious Place'.
With their 'Hell'.

Retro-Wednesday....



I haven't shown any radios for a while.
This one is from the early 60's.
Theres something about the sound of an old radio.
It still works just fine.
Of course it does......
