As the weather warmed up, we decided to bring the heat back to our kitchen with noodles galore – from linguine with clams in white wine sauce, to a big pot of pho bo which we learned to make in Vietnam. Even our friend Leo fired up his backyard grill, and invited us to share his excellent burgers, ribeye steaks, artichokes, corn, and my first taste of s’mores. In return, we cooked up our own Indian buffet dinner, with egg curry, saag paneer, butter chicken, and cumin-flavored cabbage. Toss in the basmati rice, chai tea, and a decadent strawberry Napoleon dessert, and we’ve got ourselves some satisfied house guests. Meanwhile, although recent news remind us that we still live in a mad world, the exciting rumors trickling from E3 has gotten me hyped up with anticipation. Just take a gander at what EW calls the most amazing animated commercial … ever.
