...centuries. The dark sauces, for example, are seldom thickened with flour, but with onions, garlic, ginger, yogurt and tomatoes. Her book lists a subtle series of inviting vegetable preparations that could well accompany Western dishes: mushrooms and potatoes cooked with garlic and ginger, spicy green beans, sweet and sour okra, eggplant "cooked in pickling style." Better yet, serve them with the great main dishes of India. Memorable recipes, including several in which lamb replaces hard-to-find goat, range from Persian-derived shahi korma ("royal" lamb or beef with a creamy almond sauce) to Kashmiri red lamb stew. Other party...
...self-rising flour, because it is full of soda and baking powder. Do not cook with salt pork. Use yeast-leavened bread.

When a hired hand brought in some skeletal remains unearthed on their okra farm in Archer, Fla., Ron and Pat Love asked a scientist friend to identify them. Horse bones, he said, good for nothing more than paperweights. Dissatisfied, the Loves sought a second opinion from Paleontologist S. David Webb of the Florida State Museum in Gainesville. Webb quickly determined that the bones had come not from a horse but from a short-legged rhinoceros called Teleoceras. It was a creature that had lumbered across that area of Florida millions of years...
