So, Taryn's probably the Indian food expert here so this question might be just for her, but I'd love to hear from anyone:
I like dhal, but I only have one recipe (for red lentil dhal) and I'd love more. So if anyone has good recipes or tips I would love to try them. I googled for recipes, of course, but if anyone has recipes they've already tried that's always better. Bonus points for crockpot recipes.

Crazy New Food
Partially because Joanna inspired me and partly because when opportunitty knocks, you have to answer, I got a few crazy new food items this weekend!
1st weird item: fresh squash blossoms from the farmer's market. I have wanted to try these for years but have never found them. So, here goes!
2nd weird item: A dragon fruit. I have never eaten dragon fruit and I am going to when I get home from work today. Who knows? Maybe it is my super-favorite food that I don't even know I love yet!
3rd weird item: Cactus pears. I bought two fresh cactus pears. I have had prickly pear jam and camdy and I really quite like pickled nopales, but a fresh prickly pear will be a new experience.
4th weird item: Tofu. I know this is really not a weird one for most people but it is for me. I have texture issues with it but really feel like I need to experiement and open the door to new and healthier proteins in my diet :) Fried tofu will hopefully be awesome (albeit not that healthy).
Pictures of my culinary adventures will follow...
