Kale chips ahoy!
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under united states
A week-and-a-half ago, I found a two pound bag of kale for $2.50 at my grocer. That made for good kale stir fry and soup. But as I’ve raved about kale, everyone keeps telling me to bake up kale chips.
So this afternoon, while trying to wade through grad school reading, I also tossed the remainder of my kale bag in oil, shook on some Old Bay and they’re baking away as I type.
Timer just beeped. Now for the tasting.

Old Bay and my domestic Indian lifestyle
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under india

And some of you laughed when I brought along Old Bay
I love photos of domestic settings. There are so many little details to absorb. The one above, though not particularly stunning, is my kitchen.
At the time, I was making some noodle “curry.” The dented can of Old Bay Seasoning, the best salt on the face of this planet, was one of the many things I carried here in my overstuffed backpack. Thank God.
Though I’ve been traipsing about the world, as you’ll see below, I do lead a rather domestic life from time to time.

Antananarivo: cheap, culinary heaven
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under madagascar
On a darkened street, in a pouring rain, after walking past it twice, I finally spied the door I was looking for. Inside, I found the best meal I’ve perhaps ever had. Photos and menu after the jump.
