Serendib Kitchen

Dark chocolate-dipped passionfruit marshmallows, sprinkled with silver stars and pink hearts. I do a lot of experimenting with food, and a lot of the joy for me is coming up with new combinations, but sometimes, something just works so well, you know you’re not going to mess with it anymore. These are becoming a staple, […]

As I finish up the holiday gifting, I got to put together some gift packages for my staff too. Some version of this will be going out to the Serendib House crew: Stephanie Bailey, Emmanuel Henderson, Darius Vinesar, Cara Bogehegn. I couldn’t do a quarter of what I do without their help, so thank you

I haven’t quite figured out the shipping yet for sending jars of curry powder (it’s a little complicated, because it involves figuring out what size UPS Priority mail boxes fit which jars, how much padding I need for shipping glass safely in padded envelopes, etc.), but at least for locals, I have jars of curry

Spent the morning packing up book and curry powder orders, trying to get them all out the door in time for Christmas delivery. We’re getting down to the wire, esp. since the various shipping services have gotten slowed down, but I think as long as they’re shipped by tomorrow, they will likely arrive in time.

Final flash sale of the year coming Saturday — pictured is a draongfruit nebulae bar.

One of the fun parts of shopping hyper-local is that someone can place an order for a signed hardcover cookbook + 8 oz. of curry powder, drop you an e-mail asking if they could possibly pick it up today, because they want to gift it to someone tomorrow, and you can say yes, certainly, give

So far today, I’ve been alternating reading the last “Fall of Ile-Rien” Martha Wells novel and watching The Expanse season 5, while occasionally doing little bits of household stuff, like watering neglected plants. I should get laundry going too — it’s been a while. Moving very slowly, mostly counting it a badly-needed rest day, though

This is a common dish around here — I learned the basics of it right after college, when I was working as a secretary for Fetzer Vineyards; they sent us home with a bottle of wine every Friday, and they had these little recipe cards that went with their wine. I didn’t actually use a
