-Bring the heat up slowly as not to ruin the relationship but keeping the heat there to fuel the desire. I don't think you could ever spice up the relationship to much so adding spice to taste is always good
-Apply copious amounts of love remembering to feel the emotion before giving up.
-Make sure you are wiling to give as much as take in all that is needed. Keep an open mind
-In this recipe, Don't share!
-Understand this is a recipe for a good old fashioned southern relationship

Pita
Tzatziki:
4 cups (32 ounces) plain yogurt
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 garlic cloves
Line a fine mesh strainer with two layers of cheesecloth. Place yogurt in strainer over a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.Drain and discard liquid in bowl; set yogurt aside. Place cucumber in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 15 minutes; discard liquid.In a small bowl, whisk oil and vinegar until blended . Stir in the garlic, yogurt and cucumber.
I add fresh basil, ground in a mortar. And dried dill.
Ingredients
all-purpose flour (little over 2 cups)
dry yeast (approx. 1 tsp)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 glass (1c) of lukewarm water
1 tblsp olive oil
Instructions
sieving the flour into your mixer’s bowl.
Add the yeast, sugar and salt and blend with a spoon.
Add a little bit of water and start mixing, using the dough hook. Pour in the water a little bit at a time, at a steady stream, whilst mixing. Wait each time for the water to be absorbed and continue adding some more.Depending on the flour, the dough may or may need a little bit less water than this pita bread recipe calls for. After mixing for a while, the dough for your pita bread should become an elastic ball. If the dough is still crumbled, you should add some more water. If it becomes too sticky, this means that you added more water than needed. In that case, add 1 tsp of flour and continue mixing.When done, cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place, for at least 20 minutes, until it doubles its size. This is an important step for this pita bread recipe, so that the pita bread becomes fluffy and soft. If it is winter, turn the oven on for a few minutes, until it’s a little warm, switch it off and then let the dough rise in it for a few minutes.Take the dough out of the bowl and knead a little bit with your hands. Split in 6-7 evenly sized portions.To form the pita bread, you can either use a rolling pin, or stretch it with your hands, about 1 cm thick. For a more traditional look on your pita bread, use a fork to make some holes on top.Heat a non-sticking frying pan to medium-high heat (with no grease) and fry each pita bread for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until slightly coloured and still soft. To give more colour, push the pita bread with a wooden spoon on the pan.

Home-Style Chicken Biryani
Biryani is a very popular dish in India and many Middle-Eastern countries, but its preparation is elaborate and involves precise timing, whether you follow the North Indian Awadhi style or the South Indian Hyderabadi style. What is offered here is an approach to cooking biryani that you can use at home without the need for a traditional tandoor (oven) or a slow-burning coal fire. With this home-style chicken biryani recipe, you can enjoy flavorsome, aromatic biryani without sweating it too much.
Ingredients
3 medium onions, finely chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped mint
1 level tablespoon finely ground coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 cup of beaten yogurt
1 level teaspoon garam masala powder*
1 bayleaf
10 peppercorns
6 cloves
6 green cardamoms
1 black cardamom
1 inch cinnamon stick
1 flake of mace
300 grams of long-grain (pulao) rice
Half a teaspoon of powdered turmeric
1 chopped tomato
Half a cup of packaged, pre-fried onions
Directions
To prepare the rice: Thoroughly wash the rice and put it into an electric rice cooker. Add the same quantity of water, 1 level tablespoon of salt, the bayleaf, 5
peppercorns, 3 cloves, the cinnamon stick, the mace, 3 cardamoms, the black
cardamom, the turmeric, and half a cup of beaten yogurt. Mix the contents
thoroughly and put it up to cook. The rice cooker will switch off automatically
when the rice is cooked.
To prepare the chicken: Heat four tablespoons of groundnut oil in a wok. Add the chopped onions,green chillies, cumin and poppy seeds, ground coriander, ginger and garlic
paste, 5 peppercorns, 3 cloves, 3 cardamoms, and keep stirring until the onions
turn golden brown. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for about five
minutes. Then add the chopped coriander, the mint, the remaining yogurt, the
chopped tomato, the teaspoon of garam masala powder, salt to taste, and just
enough water to prevent the mix from sticking to the bottom of the wok.
Continue to stir-fry, adding a little water from time to time until the chicken
is cooked, but keeping the dish relatively 'dry'.
Empty the contents of the wok into the rice cooker, then add thepre-fried onions and mix well, making sure to separate the cooked rice if it
has caked.
Serve hot, accompanied by a green salad or roasted poppadoms.
