Busy day. Got up this morning and went to pick up plants. My garden has taken a beating from the rain. This also causes the snails and slugs to increase. I was able to get a natural snail repellent (no its not salt). Hopefully, my new plants will thrive. We also went to William and Sonoma, which is like going to Toys R Us for a child to me. I bought some spices, gum molds, and a spice cornichons. One of the spices I bought was 'African Curry', so I rubbed this on two chicken breast (spice mix tasted hot) and put them in the sous vide for two hours. In the meantime, I made quinoa, with kale, onions, carrots, garlic and chicken stock. I added Moroccan spices to it: cardamom, cumin,lime, coriander seeds, and Cinnamon. I served the African Curry chicken over quinoa, with Harissa sauce and naan. It came out great. the chicken had a spice to it, and the quinoa tasted very savoury and warm. The wine was a Chateau Bonnet 2009 sauvignon blanc/semillon. The wine's sauvignon blanc's acidity was mellowed with the semillon. It went quite well.
