Best Place to Buy Indian Food Serving Dishes?
I will be preparing an Indian style meal for some vegetarian friends. Where is the best place to find a large quantity of small stainless serving dishes? It seems like all the purees, chutneys, spiced lentils are served in individual small dishes. I need sets for 8-10 people, so I’m looking to figure out the best way to buy them & specific shop recommendations (not internet shops since I don’t have time to wait for delivery). Thanks!!
US Shops . . . . .
HI: Check with a local Indian restaurant to see where they buy their Thali sets – you could also approach them with a request to rent some Thali sets from them, that way you don’t clutter up your cabinets with items you don’t use frequently.

How to Make Vegetable Dishes that are Tasty and Healthy using Asparagus, Peas or Corn
Almost all of us should eat more vegetables, according to our doctors. And we really must get kids to eat more veggies, starting at an early age. We know our life-long food choices stem from how we eat as children. So if the vegetables you serve to your family have gotten a little old, add new life with these great recipes. If you have a garden, let your children help with the garden. Children are much more likely to eat foods they feel connected with. Take them with you to the farmer’s market or through the produce department of your local supermarket. And try these vegetable recipes to add pizzazz to the vegetables served at your house.
ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON SAUCE
1 pkg (10-oz) frozen asparagus spears
1 egg
1/2 cup Splenda OR Sugar
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon rind
Cook asparagus according to package directions, omitting butter and salt. Drain well. Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm. In a small mixing bowl, combine egg, Splenda or sugar, and cornstarch, stirring to blend well. In a small skillet, over medium heat, melt margarine. Add egg mixture to butter and cook over medium heat until thickened. Stir in lemon juice. Continue to cook until thickened and bubbly. Pour over asparagus, sprinkle lemon rind over top. Serve immediately while hot.
PARMESAN PEAS
2 pkgs (10-oz each) frozen green peas
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp grated lemon rind, optional
Microwave peas until tender. Toss peas with remaining ingredients and serve while still warm.
1/2 cup serving = 13 g carbs, 5 g protein
LIGHT AND TASTY SCALLOPED CORN
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground mustard
dash of black pepper
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 pkg (16-oz) frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 egg)
1/3 cup crushed cornflakes
2 tsp butter, melted
In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the green pepper and onion to the hot oil and saute until tender.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, mustard, and pepper. Stir in the milk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the peppers and onions. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the corn and egg substitute.
Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. Toss the cornflakes with the melted butter and sprinkle over the corn mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until center is partially set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

How much do serving silver dishes sell for at a yard sale?
They are in pretty good shape and there are many different kinds like trays, candleholders, plates, and many more. So if I wanted to sell them at a yard sale what should the price be?
Are they just silver toned, or are they silver plated? Either way, you should be able to get more than $1 each for them if they are in good condition. If they are silver plated, then you should be able to get quite a bit more. It really depends on what people are willing to pay where you live. You can always stick a price on there a little higher than what you think you may get, and then tell anyone who looks at the items to make you an offer if they think the price is too high. That way, it’s up to you to accept the offer or not.
Good luck.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
