After a delicious brunch at my Mom's (I made deviled eggs and apple muffins. The muffins were the first decent baked good I have made recently and I saved the recipe to the NYT. The only change would be to bump up the spices), nobody was very hungry. But that did not stop me from making chicken with cilantro chutney and roasted cauliflower (both from my new Indian cookbook), plus potatoes from my recipe file. I think Carter was underwhelmed (he would have preferred chicken korma again), but I liked it!
 I made a lot of spicy things this weekend: the cilantro chutney, the crazy-hot habanero jam, kimchi and salsa verde (which is actually pretty mild). Cool weather + long weekend = lots of cooking. I am starting to contemplate making croissants again...
