On Saturday evening we made pork vindaloo (curry dish) which we served with basmati rice and naan bread.  I wish I would have written down the measurements, because it was really good! 

The pork was marinated in a mixture of red chilies, curry powder, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, malt vinegar, garlic, ginger, and peppercorns.  It was then cooked with some of the marinade, as well as a bit of water, and some more curry powder.  Arrowroot powder and cold water was used as a thickener.  At the last minute we tossed in some spinach for colour.
 
I wanted to make naan bread, but realized too late that it would take 2 hours for the dough to rise, so store-bought naan it was.  After spreading a bit of butter on it, I put it in the oven for 3 minutes @ 400.

Last night I made lasagna (with spinach noodles).  We enjoyed it with garlic bread and Caesar salad.  
 
Dessert was pumpkin crème brûlée.
   
My favourite part of crème brûlée is the "brûléed" part.  This makes me think I should get some of the wider, shallower dishes, so that I can enjoy more of the crispy goodness.
Do you like crème brûlée?  Have you ever made it?  What did you cook this weekend?
