Gregg Allman – Just Another Rider (from the album Low Country Blues 2011)
via youtube.com
Awesome track from this new album! I got it free (the one song on iTunes) from Starbucks today– apparently they give out a freebie every week, and this is the one for this week!
Incidentally, many years ago, in Knoxville, Tennessee, I had the pleasure and privilege of going to an Allman Brothers Band concert. Its great to see Gregg Allman still going strong!
The picture is the little card at Starbucks that has the instructions to get the freebie track.
(Birthday) Samosas From Scratch
So, what’s as special as cake on your birthday? Well, if you’ve got a thing for samosas– homemade ones at that– then you’d probably want those for your birthday!
Which is what a friend of my firstborn asked for as a birthday present!
So, next thing I knew, I was being recruited to “help” make them!
We made two kinds: one batch with a traditional potatoes-and-peas filling, and the other with a keema-and-peas filling.
And when I say scratch, I mean scratch from the very scratchiest scratch. That included kneading the dough, rolling it for the wrappers, making the two fillings, preparing each samosa in the traditional triangular shape, crimping the edges, and finally frying them to a golden brown.
See the slideshow below if you’re in the mood for a DIY. And good luck!
