My folks gave us a bunch of pots and pans at our wedding. One of
these was a "Grille Pan," which neither Kat nor I had seen
before. Now we’ve tried it. What a great toy! We grilled up an
eggplant, cauliflower, and a brick of paneer in some curry powder with
extra garlic and pepper, then a tomato and a pepper in thyme, and some
shiitake mushrooms. I wish I’d taken pictures of the resulting
feast—it was enormous and wonderful. The tomato was fine after
grilling on one side, but midway through the next it lost structural
integrity and turned into a sort of cacciatore.
Also, there’s something about coriander and garlic and pepper—a
little bit of those, and my mood improves dramatically. I certainly
feel smarter after eating those. As Kat put it, "I love Indian
food. I love everybody! Why is my mouth on fire?"
