Calling a pizza Cannibal is sick. I'd not order it.

To me a pizza is not a pizza without Anchovies................

But would you order anchovies if you were one yourself?

I made a very peppery rösti tonight. It was trying to finish off the rest of the old pepper container, and there was more left than I thought. But I don't regret it.

Chicken roast with rosemary, thyme, lemon, lots of pepper. Small potatoes, roasted. Chevre chaud.
Our daughter's back to college tomorrow. She bought her first bottle of three buck chuck-- shiraz-- legally, so we'll open that.

It is always so strange that young adults in the US don't have the right to buy even beer or wine until they are 21, though they can enlist in the military, get married and do many other potentially dangerous things at 18, and drive a car even younger.
Oh I just love that kind of chicken and potato dinner.

ditto on the chicken & potatoes
Tonight's supper: a small cutlet & potato torta that was bought @11 this morning, along with a cup of esquites (seasoned corn off the cob) that I snagged from the vendor when I returned from picking up my pooch.

I had a somewhat rare desire to make a salad with spicy lukewarm squid, but since the damned Chinese supermarket is closed on Sunday afternoons now (and all day Monday as usual), I wasn't able to buy any. Looks like it'll be prawns again....

Roast Rump roast with garilic and onions Mashed potatoes with the gravy from the roast Steamed brocolli Baked Sweet Potatoes Butttered Corn Pickled Beets Warm Bread For dessert, she spoiled us as usual, fresh baked apple pie with vanilla ice cream for Mr. Mich and pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream for me!! I prefer dinner with my mom and dad to any restaurant that I have ever been with! YEAH Mom! Love you for all the love you put into our gathering. Cheers! Mich

Sounds like quite the spread!
I made a small stack of crêpes early this morning - or one might say galettes because they are half buckwheat flour, half sifted organic wheat flour. I broke a couple of them (these are not huge crêpes, I just have an ordinary medium-sized cast-iron frying pan) and ate those for breakfast, but I'll stuff the rest for supper. Possible ingredients include leftover chicken, rapini, mushrooms and cheese.
I used almond milk since I had some shelf-stable on hand and couldn't go out and fetch some goat's milk. Turned out ok, though actually there is very little protein in "almond milk"; it is fortified with calcium and other normal milk ingredients.

Hmmmm, before long, I will decree that cole slaw season has opened in Paris.

Y'all stop talking about beets! I'm dying for some small new beets, but they wait until they're the size of bowling balls to pull them here. For that matter, stop talking about food. I gave away all my produce when I went out of town, and there's no meat nor eggs in the house. *sigh* Mich, what a feast your mother prepared! It all sounds perfect. LaGatta, when you make a batch of crepes, how do you keep them from sticking together, please?

Last night: Had my dad's wife over from Italy and made quesadillas with refried black beans, jalapenos, little button mushrooms, chopped garlic and pepper jack. Sides were a hybrid between Mexican rice and risotto milanese and coarsely chopped heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil in a vinaigrette of olive oil, balsamic, minced garlic, S&P and a teeny bit of honey. Dessert was peanut butter pie.
We were still too full this morning to have more than cappuccinos and toasted bagels with a shmear of cream cheese for breakfast.

Gosh, Fumobici! I knew you appreciated good food, but I never realized you were such a good and imaginative cook. I love all your fusion/borrowed touches. Were the quesadillas a first for your guest?
Oh, poor, poor Kerouac, how my heart bleeds for you. Day-um, that looks good!

I suspect it is our different climates, bixa, but I've never really had that problem. I keep them in a small stack between two china plates.
Fumobici is an artist, as we know.

Kerouac, have those prawns got the shell on(looks like it) or just the tails left in tact? If the shells are on is that how you eat them? Shell and all? I have done this many times at a restaurant if the outer skin is soft enough and find it quite OK.

Post by Deleted on Mar 29, 2011 10:53:54 GMT
No, I shelled them first but then I rolled them in a little bit of flour, turmeric and pepper before frying them a bit -- that gave them a new 'shell.'

Have you already posted a trip report about your visit to Puebla?

Post by bixaorellana on Mar 29, 2011 16:45:12 GMT
No. (she said, guiltily)
Don Cuevas, I took tons of pictures and tried to get my mouth around as much typical food as possible.
I'll PM you about the hotel aspect of the trip, for your future reference.
I will say I really, really enjoyed it and am already planning on going back. The food was quite different from that in Oaxaca & I photographed the one meal I had w/mole Poblano.
Also food-related ~~ I was told by more than one local that the people of Puebla, properly Poblanos, are more often called "camoteros" because of their fondness for candied sweet potatoes.

It would be easy for you to accidentally ingest sweet potato in Puebla. That's because the most common form of the candied ones is as a rolled-up paste covered with sugar. Don't worry, if I see you bringing such a thing dangerously close to your innocent mouth, I will warn you. It is brutally hot here. Tonight's supper was two salads -- one was ready-made cut-up fruit I bought at the local market this afternoon (it's not dressed & perfectly fresh). The other was head cheese & Oaxacan sausage, cubed bread, onion, tomato, & lettuce. Very nice, & no stove involved. Last night I had flowers for supper! It was the big produce market day & I got a bag of them. It was to be a vegetable extravaganza, but the tamales man passed, which I couldn't pass up. The flowers were excellent. I steamed them, as directed by the vendor, which made them lose their lovely yellow color. They are somewhat like green beans in taste, but with no sweetness, rather a slight & delicious bitterness. They're also very slightly mucilaginous which is quite pleasant. The texture is somewhat meaty, and not fibrous at all. Here are the flowers, @ life-sized (use the colander holes as an index) ~ Here they are close up ~ And here's the complete supper ~

I had one of the favorite dinners of French 6 year olds last night: frozen ham & cheese crêpes fried in butter.

Very simple - some small chicken drumsticks I had grilled with teriaki sauce, and soba (buckwheat) noodles. But I also made muhammara, so that with pita or olive-oil and rosemary crackers.
With luck, tomorrow I'll be taken out to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant.

Post by lola on Apr 1, 2011 2:09:05 GMT
I had to look up muhammara recipe; looks delicious. Is pomegranate molasses necessary, or will other kinds do?
I'm always impressed with what you all come up with. Bixa's flowers!

Post by tod2 on Apr 1, 2011 4:55:48 GMT
Bixa - What an unusual ( for me!) but very interesting flowers! Are they off a tree? I must try and make some of those tamales as we have corn in the leaves available everyday! If there is not a recipe in The Galley, could you post one for me please?
Dinner last night was outdoors. The temps during the day rose to around 39C with high humidity so the evening was incredibly warm. I grilled large flat mushrooms with a Cabonara sauce over some, gorgonzola type cheese on others, and plain basil pesto on the remainder. I used my muffin pan to arrange little cherry tomatoes splashed with pesto oil and grilled. This stopped them falling over. All served with warm loaves of sour dough baguette and a tossed green salad. Oh, and a lovely Merlot ;D
