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.

A vegeterain starts to follow Judy Rodger's instructions from zuni cafe cook book to make chicken broth.

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.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
