What's for dinner?

Lately, when we have  time to eat together, dinner usually involves a series of 2-3 side dishes rather than an ensemble meal. Tonight I'm going  to try and make a Samosa Casserole . Winter has returned to Long Island, again, basically a NorEaster, with gusting winds and horizontal rain. The good news, I get to detour into the Korean market for a few spare ingredients and delay the blustery drive home.

Cooking Asian foods, still challenges my seasoning technique. The proportions of coriander to cilantro etc require more practice (and less burning) so these flavors taste experienced as opposed to just following directions. Usually the cumin is overwhelming and sharp as opposed to woody and warm.
