Italian without Pasta

Apple Serenata, a dessert at Spinato's has a flame roasted fuji apples baked on a crispy crust with loads of vanilla bean gelato on it. After some shoveling, when you get to the bottom of the dessert, what you have is the crust soaked in melted icecrem now soft. Its the same texture that I like when puris are soaked in tea. Why does food texture play such a role? I prefer thicker noodles as I tend to pick flavor of the noodles better. Yesterday, I had ultra thin Sevai noodles, but the food escaped me. Kind of like it went into the blind spot of my taste buds and skipped evaluation.
In industrial zones, you need a permit to sell wine.
Roma Cannoli cream.
Calzone stuffed with sphagetti reminded me of the recent craze of spaghetti on tacos.

Having had the vermicelli kind of noodles at a Thai Buffet, these were a tad thicker than sevai but very long. does the sense of continuity alter the taste?

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
