Things are picking up around here. You lovely readers are starting to appear, and I'm having a great time writing about food. I've got some big ideas and I want to do some cool things with this blog.
But.
While I love "Nalla Sappaadu," it's maybe not the greatest blog name. Non-Tamil-speaking readers can't remember it, and thanks to the magic of transliteration nobody can spell it. I hate to do it, but I think I need a new name, one that's easy to remember and would make a good domain name. I'll probably migrate to a nicer blogging site at some point too, but I need a name first.
So, dear readers, I need your help: what's a catchy, witty, easily spelled and remembered name for this blog? The winner gets... um... the people's ovation and fame forever! And possibly dinner, if you're anywhere near Philly.

Your Questions, Answered.
What cookbook are you using?
An Invitation to Indian Cooking, by Madhur Jaffrey.
Why don't you post the full recipes?
Because they are copyrighted, and I don't want no trouble. Also, if you're that interested, you really should just buy the book. It's an inexpensive paperback and it provides a lot of background information for people who are inexperienced with Indian cuisine (like me). I do post original recipes.
Who's Joe?
My husband, cooking teacher and (most recently) sous-chef. Most of the recipes I post are his; when he cooks, he's also kind enough to email me his notes the next morning.
Why are you learning Tamil?
Why aren't you?
Can I come over for dinner?
Probably, if you bring alcohol and give me some advance warning.

How about "Cookin'n'at"?
mom
Something to do with pittsburgh, I'm thinking, "Chutney on Everything"
BTW, I made the chicken and corn sans grill, and it turned out ok. I actually pulled off a sauce, reducing soy and pickled ginger brine with some flour. The corn at Trader Joe's is delicious right now.
Ooh. That sounds really good. I'm hungry now!
You should ask Gagan to score you some chat masala... best corn condiment EVER.
We have entered of chance and have remained a good moment, congratulations
