Finished the book and the ear of corn with horseradish is ready

I had bought the ears of corn.  I knew I was making this and i realised many things in the course of the day

1. i must be crazy for not getting the horse radish. Am i hoping for reasons to postpone - Note to self: Re-examine commitment?
2. Discussing it with your mom helps - she made healthier suggestions that 1/4 cup of Butter - really 25 more pounds and it's christmas and i am in a red suit!
3. I should taste the food as I go along - for example blended in the horseradish spread, salted it, didnt bother to taste and spread it on to the corn. Now if its too salty or sharp - its done.
4. My daughter said she doesn't want to try it. So still humbling.
5. I expected the book to be more. But its descriptive like a travelogue. I was transported.
6. The book i have started with (and has a grand total of 2 tickmarks has too much red meat to last. Not only am i vegetarian - my husband and daughter stick to white meats. So there is that!

I added a dish - salad like - with the extra horseradish - i can never cook or shop for 2 - mooli ka saalan. Hugely popular in Uttap Pradesh - ginger, finely chopped chillies, grated horseradish and lime juice and salt.

My father used to say: proof of the pudding is in the eating. Will post after that!!!
