“But wait,” you say! “Can’t I get some homemade curry powder with my two autumnal tea towels?”
Of course you can, my friend. Of course.
$45 for all three together.
(Coming soon in the Serendib Kitchen shop.)
If One Is Good, Than Two Is Better
If one tea towel is good, two must be better, right? Me, I like having at least one hanging on my dishwasher handle, and another on the stove. It was really fun coming up with coordinating designs for these.
($42 for the pair, coming soon to the Serendib Kitchen shop.)
A Gift for a Far-Away Friend
I don’t have a good version of this tea towel on hand yet (this one I photographed has an error on it), but Spoonflower has the corrected version available for sale in my shop.
I love how the design came out. (Motifs by Kavya.) It features a very old Tang Dynasty poem; this is a perfect autumn gift for a far-away friend, I think.
Everyone Needs Tea Towels and Curry Powder, Right?
The tea towel (pattern of your choice) + homemade curry powder is a better deal than either alone, at $28. 
This is a great option if you’ve already picked up a copy of my cookbook, for you or a friend, and now you want another present (moar presents for all!), but I don’t have another cookbook out yet, alas…
Thankfully, everyone needs tea towels and curry powder, right?
(Coming soon in the Serendib Kitchen shop.)
Holiday Sale Coming Soon
Holiday sale package photo — coming soon in the Serendib shop. This one is:

($55 + shipping)
Cookbook Curry Combo
Stephanie Bailey asked me for holiday package photos, so you’ll see some of those popping up today. This is the trade paperback cookbook + homemade curry powder combo.
Ground Pistachio and Cardamom Cake
Just pretty. Ground pistachio, about to be folded into Pooja Makhijani’s lovely cardamom cake.
Here’s the Wisconsin live radio segment from earlier today!
Recipes From Sri Lanka
Cooking traditional foods connects us to our roots. We talk to the author of a cookbook that celebrates her Sri Lankan heritage.
Winter Dragons and Knits
I spent a little time this morning putting together possibilities for individual treat boxes for sale. I don’t know yet if I’ll be able to offer these — I’m going to wait until the end of November, to be sure I have enough time to fulfill all the Patreon orders, and also to closer to the end of the semester.
But if you think you might want to order a treat box for yourself or a gift, I think these will be $25 within the U.S. (Sorry, international folks! Someday I hope to scale up to be able to offer this sort of thing internationally. I have to figure out food regulations, plus international shipping is brutal.)
Locals doing porch pick-up, they’ll be $17.
Check back Dec 1 if interested. Quantities will be very limited, esp. if you want Christmas delivery!

Diwali Bundt Cake
I didn’t make this in time for Diwali (had to wait for my new 5-cup bundt pan to arrive), but had a lot of fun making (and eating) it tonight. Pooja Makhijani’s celebration rose, cardamom, and pistachio cake for King Arthur Flour’s site, absolutely perfect with a cup of chai at teatime (or in my case tonight, right before bed). Thanks, Pooja!
(If you don’t have a 5-cup bundt pan, and don’t want an excuse to buy one, she notes that this fits nicely in a loaf pan.)
