Butter Chicken

By -

This was good, but I am not convinced it isn't a better idea to go and get your Indian food at a restaurant where they do all this work for you.

    I tried to pressure cook this and it was a big failure. FYI on instructions.

  I really loved this. It had nice, subtle flavor, and you could use different vegetables if you're crazy and don't like carrots or potatoes or asparagus. I also just used a rotisserie chicken. I give it an 8.5 and it came from jaroflemons.com.

Crepes

This is a classic that John’s Dad taught him to make after serving a mission in Paris. If you have the right toppings, these can be a 9. If your toppings suck, don't blame me. John has tweaked it a bit, and I like it with a bit more almond than he does, but here is the basic recipe: Crepes 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/2 T. vanilla 1 T. sugar 1/4 cup oil 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. almond extract John likes to mix it with a hand blender, but I prefer doing it in the BlendTec. You put this on about a 7 or 8 on the stove (medium-medium/high heat), and then use 1/3 cup to put it on a crepe pan as you swirl it cover the pan with the other hand.
