Quail Egg Yolk
My first time cooking and eating quail eggs. Taste pretty much like chicken eggs. The yolk is a more fluffy than a chicken egg. Click on the photo for the recipe.

Meatball, Tomato and Egg Tagine (Kefta Mkaouara)
My first attempt at cooking in a tagine. But, the recipe was too large for the tagine I had, so I had to move it to a large pan. But, it turned out really good. The lamb meatballs were very tasty and the tomato and onion sauce was a good addition. The egg was also good.

Pastitso
Saturday's supper. While it isn't really hard to make, it does take a fair amount of prep and cooking time. Also very rich. 2 sticks of butter if you follow the recipe, I only used 1 1/2.
I found the meat sauce to be a little bland, if I made it again I would spice it up a bit.

Pasta
A simple pasta dish that is very tasty. I kick up the spice level by doubling the amount of red pepper flakes and use only 8 oz of pasta instead of 12. Click on the photo for the recipe.

Indian Stew
This was Saturday's dinner (3/1/08). There is quite a lot of ingredients, and a lot of opitons in this dish. But it was worth the effort and quite tasty. Click on the photo for the recipe.
Fish, Peas & Rice (all with cumin)
Sunday's dinner. All three items had cumin as an ingredient. I've made the rice before, but the fish and peas were new. There was almost too much cumin in the peas, but they were nice and spicy. The fish (halibut) turned out excellent. Click on the picture for the recipes.

Smash Labs, Why is this show on the air?
I will have to say I was hoping the Smash Labs, the "new" show on the Discovery Channel would be a good show along the lines of Myth Busters. Sadly, my hopes were dashed with their first demonstration and were pummeled to dust by the time the show was over.
First, their demonstration of a car running into other cars at an angle was flawed, in that the other cars weren't moving, which means their data was flawed and not accurate of an actual collision between moving cars.
Second, common sense would tell you that softer cement will mean lower g-forces, but it will take more of it to stop something. One of the factors in the high g-force in a crash is how quick you stop.
Third, why did they build a ramp into their field of concrete? That just launched the vehicles, by-passing valuable feet of concrete. And why test this? Very few places would have the space required to make this even close to viable.
Fourth, stop it will all the slow motion. Two or three times from different angles is more the enough. The crashes just weren't that spectacular.
And last, why couldn't they come up with something that actually worked? Maybe not economically feasible, but at least show you can solve to the problem of how to safely stop a car with cement.
I don't really have any comment about the people, other then they didn't leave any lasting impression one way or the other. I was too busy being flabbergasted by the poor quality of the scientific content of the show.
If Discovery Channel just wants to crash things and blow things up, they should market the show that way and they'll get plenty of people to watch it. But I think they are insulting their viewers by pretending there is valid scientific methods and thoughts involved in the show.
