Clueless in Carniceria

While weighing  to read or not read the+butcher+and+the+vegetarian book, the decision was made as soon as I read of the tea and cookies blog.

Tri-tip
Skirt steak
A vegeterain starts to follow Judy Rodger's instructions from zuni cafe cook book to make chicken broth.
Her reaction on unwrapping the parcel - 'There is a bit of blood on the paper, but the smell of fresh meat -a clean smell, really - makes me think of rain'.

Out, Out damned chicken Fat!  A reference to Macbeths poem

Friendship is all good and fine, but dont get between a girl and her charcuterie. This line reminded me of a telugu idiom ekkadaina baava kaani vanga thotalo kaadu.

Chemical study of food

Can you guess the physics experiments that  potato chips  are put to?  Cake recovery. siphon cake The picture of  algination  looks like people in a line dancing alternately with the next one's hands and legs.

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.

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.
