"True" Indian Curry

Try as I might, preparing Indian food has always kind of eluded me. I've been working on it though, and this helpful (and appetizing) article in the R-G has me feeling more hopeful about preparing a good curry:

"Many delicious curries are easy to create. Before embarking on your curry journey, take stock of your spice pantry. And don’t bother with that prepared curry blend. Blending your own mix of whole spices will reward you with honest and delicious Indian food"

Eugene's SeQuential: Green gas station transforms bad land

Jodie and I sometimes fuel up at the SeQuential Biofuels on McVay Highway, out near LCC. We've been impressed with everything about the place, from the solar power and green roof, to the nutritional snacks and knowledgeable staff. I had no idea, however, how SeQuential made their land green from underground up. A previous owner/tenant had caused a lot of environmental damage on the land, and the R-G has done an interesting story on how polluted that land was, and how much clean-up has been done:

"The patch of dirt under SeQuential Biofuels on McVay Highway is rapidly becoming the most famous half-acre in all of Lane County.... Over the past four years, the site has been the scene of a night-to-day, muck-to-magificent, rags-to-riches conversion — a turnabout in which the filth was literally scoured by the light."

Tony Legner’s Habanero Premium Steak Sauce

The mere tangy, tingly sheer steakness of this sauce makes me want a few bottles cases. The suggestion to mix some in with burgers is a great idea — offhand, I'm thinking a tablespoon to a pound of meat? Hmmm...

"Laura & I went through almost half the bottle with this one steak and I tried it out the other night on burgers - fantastic! If you’ve got any sort of plans to grill this summer, do yourself a favor and get yourself a few bottles of Tony’s steak sauce - you won’t be disappointed"
