However, for many years, we only made the tandoori drumsticks or legs (which is what we typically get in restaurants) as it was quick and easy and really, really yummy....

Oreos are a weakness of mine and I have to admit that they are very rarely allowed into my house, because I admittedly have NO self-control when they are near me. There just isn’t a made-from-scratch option that can compare for certain things. I had an idea for an Oreo ice cream a while back and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I picked up the Oreos at the store and as soon as I got home I dumped a dozen of them into the blender and pulsed them into powder....
