I grew up on a farm on real homecooked Swedish food and too little variety. (Meat almost every day).

The tradition of serving pea soup every Thursday followed by pancakes with jam and whipped cream, I prepare today the same way as my mother did. However, I don´t serve pea soup and pancakes that often, and it doesn´t has to be on a Thursday.

2007-09-27T21:32:00.000-04:00

Anh - they are a real quick and easy dish to which veggies can also be added.

Margot, that's the Caribbean coming out in Michael :D Hope you enjoy the curry.

Sra - well, as I've said before, Guyana and other parts of the Caribbean are made up of many races and ethnic cultures. Chinese and Indian are an integral part of that make-up.

Rina - they are regular chicken eggs. They look plump because I fried them after boiling, before making the curry. It makes the whites more meaty :)

Asha - oh yeah, now that's a drool-worthy egg curry.

Trupti, Saju, Jayashree, Usha P, Meeso, Sig, Sharmi, Roopa, Indo, Nags, Cinnamon, Pragyan, David, Happy Cook, Sirisha, Dhana, Maryann, Laavanya, Elly, Rosa, Padma, Francesca, Jenn, Amanda, Rajitha, Nirmala, Shilpa, Anali, Kevin, Pom d'api, Kelly-Jane, Valentina, Joe, Soraya, Kajal Nanditha, Timothy, Kumundha, Viji, Veronica & Linda - thank you all for sharing your wonderful memories!

Deborah - that is what I'm talking about - just the way it is presented and cooked makes it different and special.

Zuzana - those potato flat breads sound scrumptuous.

Cheryl - yeah, my mom makes "shine rice" too! :) I must ask her how to make it.

I think all Caribbean people have the corned-beef fixation :)

TBC - why thank you :D
Thanks for reading the column and I'm looking forward to that post you have languishing.

Bee - there is something :D

Lisa - I'll send you the recipe. Look at the many things you make and have "just like that." :)

Belinda - thank you so very much. I'd love to try that potato-onion-garlic dish. Can you email me?

Bee - please try making them and let me know. They sound heavenly.

East Meets West - I guess I can ask you the same question. :)

Synny & sid - you can drop by anytime :)

Suganya - well not that they are to be served with rice :) it's just the way we ate it :)
Yes, we all do!

Anon - there you go! That's exactly what I mean. "I like it like that."

Amanda - will send you the recipe, hon.

Lori Lynn - the things my mom says (lol) sometimes I have to caution her not to say them when we have company :D

Valerie - too bad indeed. Well, you can make the dish and then slice the eggs and take out the yolks. You can even do this after they've been boiled and make the curry with the boiled whites.

Kiriel - I know right?! Gosh these women are amazing. I'd like to try the Ming dish. Will email you.

Dhivya - thanks for stopping by and sharing. Welcome! I do hope you come back and visit.

Urban Vegan - mine too! I learnt from watching them and using my own instincts.

Nags - They're up now.

Emilie - that's the spirit!

Tigerfish - yes I did! and don't knock it till you try it :) Add some hot chilie sauce also.

Kalyan - thanks! I always like it fried before currying. Love the texture of the egg whites then.

Latha - and I so wish I lived nearby to have some and learn so many things from you and Lakshmi.

Culinary Princess - Your mom must be so proud :)

Pat - you have to try it.

The Cooker - bead+butter+a lot of mango pickle?! I, I, I don't know what to say :D

Sandeepa - lucky you!

Nora - Your mom and grandma rock! :D

Toni - here! here!

Gattinga - will send you the recipe for the egg curry. I'd like to know more about how the noddles are prepared in your home.

New Kid - thank you and welcome!

Willow! - I'd love to hear more from you! Are you from the Caribbean? Thre are so many things in your comment that I can relate to!

Anon - no, your're not :D

Years ago , I was living in an apartment complex with some co-workers. On weekends I would visit their apartment for potlucks, I would always bring ice cream because I did not know how to cook then. One of my favorite dishes were their egg curries. I can't wait to try this again! Thanks for bringing back the memories!

Curry eggs ... yup I had that some time ago, although I can't remember when. I can't really recall what I can cook when I was younger... but I definitely know I can't cook anything now, except instant noodle and perhaps boil rice. Hahaha ... so much for being a foodie eh.

gspacDear Cynthia: I was so happy you noticed the steam on the picture! It's a soup made with any sea product you wish to use.

I wan't to try those curried eggs, great idea!

I prepare many dishes as my mother did. One, very simple I love because it's tastes like childhood is Huevos a la Baltimore, wish would be Eggs à la Baltimore: You need canned corn grains, sauce bechamel and eggs. You mix the corn with the bechamel and pour this mixture into individual refractary dishes. You break an egg in the middle of each dish. You cook in the oven 15 minutes,until the eggs are done.
