'Jeep' is the name given to a small motorised open, four-wheeled general purpose vehicle during the later years of the Second World War.

Likewise this is a 'General Purpose' which can contain any flotsam and jetsam pertaining to South Indian Cookery.

  This is actually carried forward from the 'Set DhOsai' thread.
  
  We will start with, how Annadhaana Sivan collected and preserved 'thayir' for his collosal feats of annadhaanam - especially during the Maamaanggam at KumbakONam.

  Hello Jay Bee saar,
  How long are you going to take for posting the secret of Thayir preservation by Anna daanam etc..........?

  On a totally different topic:
  
  Here's a cheat =) I cooked up some cous-cous moister than usual in a microwave, did some seasoning with kadugu, kariveppilai kadalai paruppu etc., Mixed well, pressed into little urundai-s. ((Can you believe the server would not take the english word "b*lls"? I had to edit the word out!)) Served with thuvaiyal.
  
  There's my easy, cool recipe for "uppuma kozhukattai" ! Gives you a good rep as a cook.
  
  PS: I'm guessing Annadaana Sivan started with a small batch of thayir and kept adding fresh milk to it day by day to end up with a large amount of thayir by mamangam day. Yenna, sariya?

  :-)
  Ah! The logistic and technical problems arise.
  How did he preserve the thayir? In two days, the thayir would become very sour. Lactic acid, aldehydes would have made it so. Furthermore, the fungal cultures would have made the collection poisonous.

  Sorry, folks, for the delay.
  
  I though of giving some introduction on who this 'anna dhaana Sivan' was.
  
  You see, I have this habit of keeping personal journals.
  Whatever of interest that I see, hear, note, read, analyse, deduce, research, experience, together with thoughts, dogmas, philosophy, etc., will go into these journals.
  Apart from these journals, I write in sheets of paper which are filed or simply kept in cabinets.
  
  ManivaNNan would have noticed some of those cabinets.
  
  Well, coming to the point.....
  
  Annadhaana Sivan's biographical notes and anecdotes have thus been writen in one of those journals.
  
  I am searching for the particular journal......

  About 12 years ago most PCs were running DOS.
  Jerry Pournelle, the Byte Magazine columnist mentioned a freeware floating around
  at that time. Called hatbox, it would scan all
  the txt files in your hard disk and build inverse
  lookup tables. Thus you can quickly search the
  whole hard disk for boolean expressions ("tennis" && "friend" && !"sunday").
  
  What JB needs is a hatbox for all his cabinets
  and journels ;-)

  Ravi , what Dr.Jay Bee has is Pandora's box.He always springs surprises.This I am saying 'cas I have read his postings with interest.
  But this delay in Annadana Sivan's thing is really upsetting.
  Buck up Doc.I am still waiting.
