Lisa is in Philly and South Jersey this week. Her father Jerry has passed at the age of 94. Solly suggested we take today to explore Trader Joes' and the type of Indian take and carry meal we could make. We tried putting together a tikki-tofu-rice meal from pre-packaged items. But it lacked a bite and had a mushy texture. The hit was something likely cooked up in the company's Pasadena lab; a masala tandori naan. We could not find a recipe for it anywhere on-line or in the classic cookbooks. A bit doughy but with plenty of spice. Cooks well at 450 degrees for 5 minutes - a few drops of water on top before re-heating will do wonders for it and the texture. Solly says it pairs best with cheddar cheese and pears.Jerry your spirit, humor, sense of family, and friendship will be missed. Michael
