An interplay of textures

Two film pieces of any kind, placed together, inevitably combine into a new concept a new quality
- Sergei Eisenstein, The Film Sense

A 3o'clock snack was just reaching its end. Just few drops left in the coffee holder and lots of noisy air. There was just one piece of cake with cream cheese frosting and a peach in a layer. There were cut strawberries, honey dew melon. The baked peach with the fresh fruits is a juggle of textures that will make you change sides on whats your favourite.

So my roomate and I made the carrot soup in pure & simple. We had to pressure cook carrot and potato for more than a whistle. The recipe begins with cubed carrots. In the picture I see. carrot wheels. Probably that would have softened it faster. A thing to try. I did like the end effect. I would have to have other carrot soups to find out more about the range of the soup taste. I will go ahead and make the vegetable garden soup. The recipe calls for two sets of tomatoes and carrots cut differently. One set goes to form the mush and the other on top.

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.
