Dining at Gandhi’s is such a joyful experience. The owners Sherry and Raj make you feel as though you are having dinner at their home. The decor is elegant and tasteful, and the staff become walking works of art. The servers wear what I am told is Indian Wedding attire and always seem to be smiling. You get the feeling that they are all part of this wonderful family.

But it is really the food that shines the brightest. From the appetizers to the last bite of dessert you could taste the most important secret ingredient – LOVE! We let our server guide us and ordered the Gobi Manchurian which was crispy cauliflower florets in a tangy, sweet, spicy, sticky sauce that was totally addictive. And we also had the Coconut Peppered Shrimp which paired sweet shrimp with a spicy and garlicky coconut marinade and served atop a cracker. The shrimp were accompanied by a fabulous potato croquette that had a perfectly crisp outside a lovely creamy center.

We followed our appetizers with Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Vindaloo, both served with rice. Both dishes packed a huge flavor punch without overpower heat. You could taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The chicken was seared in the tandoor oven and then braised in the sauces. This process makes the chicken so succulent, tender and moist.

Sherry was telling me that they have two tandoor ovens. One for meat and a separate one for bread. That way there is no risk of cross contamination and vegetarians can have peace of mind. It is that attention to detail that crosses over in ever aspect of your dining experience.

We finished our evening with a Pistachio Kulfi and a Chef’s Kesar Badam Kulfi that was flavored with almond and saffron and topped with toasted almonds. A kulfi is best described as an ice cream but it is actually milk that is boiled until it is thick and then frozen in little molds. Quite tasty, I might add. We almost licked our plates clean.

IMG_6945The motto at Gandhi is “Where Food and People Matter,” and you tell that as you enter the room. But this extends further because between the owners and their staff, it is also One Team One Dream. Cross a trip to India off your bucket list and head on over to Gandhi’s Indian restaurant.

Bowling Strike rot/orange

WEST PALM BEACH, Fl – May 25, 2015 – Strikes for Seagull, the annual bowling fundraiser that benefits Seagull Services, takes place this year at Verdes Tropicana Bowl on Sunday, June 5, 2016.

Seagull Services invites families, friends, and businesses to join in an afternoon of bowling that promises a little competition and a lot of entertainment. Registration begins at 2:30 p.m., and bowling is from 3-5 p.m.

The family-friendly afternoon includes two hours of bowling, a silent auction, raffle prizes and complementary pizza and soda.

“We’re happy to host Strikes for Seagull again this year because it’s a great event for families to participate in together,” said Elizabeth McDermott, Director of Special Events at Seagull Services. “Friends or family members can bowl as many games as possible and enjoy complementary pizza and soda within the two hours all for a single price of $25.”

Several area business and organizations are sponsoring the event, including Gulf Stream Insurance, Petals for Purpose, Nozzle Nolen and Searcy Law.

“We’re also thankful for our lane sponsors who make it possible for our program participants to bowl in Strikes for Seagull too,” McDermott said.

Signing on as lane sponsors are Palm Beach Kennel Club, American Metal Fabricators, and Fred Apel.

Seagull Services helps adults and students with disabilities find success and fulfillment through education, life skills-building and vocational training. Seagull also assists people with barriers to employment re-enter the workforce. Seagull operates a residence on Singer Island, known as Seagull Place, and a charter school for middle and high school-age students, Seagull Academy for Independent Living.

Proceeds from Strikes for Seagull support Seagull’s educational programs at SAIL. The cost is $25 per person, or $100 per lane of 6 bowlers. If you can’t make the event but want to allow Seagull’s program participants to bowl, become a lane sponsor for $125.

Fifteen community charities were the recipients of 1,000 bags of food purchased and filled by the Knights and Dames of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem Knights Hospitaller, Commandery of the Palm Beaches. The agencies in turn distributed the bags to needy families throughout Palm Beach County. This year’s recipients were: The Academy of Nursing & Health Occupations, the Ascension Catholic Church in Boca Raton, Boca Helping Hands, the Children’s Home Society, Delray Beach CROS Caring Kitchen, the Farmworkers Coordinating Council of Palm Beach County, the First Haitian Baptist Church in Belle Glade, Matthew 25 Ministries, Operation Hope, Place of Hope, St. Mary’s Catholic Church Pahokee, St. Vincent Ferrer’s Care Ministry, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd Tequesta, Urban Youth Impact, and the YWCA Child Care Centers.

This year’s annual drive was chaired by Chevalier Austin Bohlman whose late father, Chevalier Chris Bohlman chaired the first food project in 2003. Nearly 50 members of the Order and friends participated in the two day process of handling over 10,000 pounds of dry and canned goods. “Each bag’s contents is sufficient for a family to have three meals a day for 1-2 weeks. Our Moms were overjoyed to tears to receive them”, stated Suzanne Turner, CEO of the YWCA.

Ellie Krieger's Caramelized Onion Gruyere Quiche as seen on Food Network

Preparing the filling: Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onions back to the pan, stir in the salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.
In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites and evaporated milk.
Sprinkle the cheese into the pie crust. Top with the mushroom-onion mixture and pour the egg mixture on top. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes.


For the filling:

4 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced thinly into half moons
8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, shiitake
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

This is a free event, refreshments will be served.

 

The male artist creates with the determined focus of his vision and the strength of his talented hands. A potter uses a gentle touch to form his clay and molds it into a perfectly formed vase or bowl. When the piece is finished he will then decide on a glazing color from a vast spectrum of choices.

The painter is inspired by his surroundings and dreams that dance in his head in an abstract manner. He then gently or boldly holds his brush and applies the strokes to his choice of canvas, paper or other mediums. The photographer holds the camera with his hands and sees the image through his eyes and then transfers them onto a selected background.

The poet and writer gently holds his pen as the words flow to the paper grabbing the reader’s attention and taking them to a distant place as their eyes read his thoughts. The pen was made by the artist’s creative hands.

The artist who makes one of a kind wearable art such as jewelry, or fiber pieces precisely uses his hands to make his art sometimes applying jewels and gems to his pieces. The powerful touch of the artist can turn steel into sculpture with the torch and fire used to sculpt raw beams into works of art. His powerful hands work along his massive body as he welds together heavy pieces that can also transform found objects into functional art, such as mirrors and lamps.

The woodworker carves works of beauty into the bare pieces of a trees limbs or trunk that might be found in the woods or given to him by friends. His hands touch the sometimes exotic patterns and grains and he sees the object it will become. His hands grip the tools he needs to make intricate designs into his choice of wood. The hands of the wood-turner work the wood on a lathe and the raw wood transforms into an object of beauty. The scars and lines on the male artist’s hands reveal the true passion and struggles he might go through to allow each of us to enjoy and be thankful that he is an artist.
Artisans On The Ave Gallery is proud to show the varied works of these talented artists;
