tonight was a lovely evening with some of the ladies of my graduate program.  i made my spiced turkey burgers, which consist of a number of ingredients, including onions, apples, almonds, raisins, craisins, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, cardamom, coriander, nutmeg, cloves, ginger... and get served with hot mango chutney (this time, i included a spiced yogurt-y sauce option as well).  i also baked a loaf of wheat bread to put them on, and made some jello because i happened to have about 10 boxes of it sitting my cabinet... towards the end of the evening, we got a little silly at times, and i'm pretty sure my house came close to being covered with jello... it's really nice to have friends.
