Weekly menu for years

Have you ever been in a situation were you already knew what would be served on what day and come to like a day for its special?

At undergrad hostel, I liked Fridays for matri for their crunchiness while getting into the mouth and softness once in there. I liked tuesdays for the bread pakoda when I was in the love part of the love-hate tug relationship with the tomato ketchup. Sundays were for Dosa (you had to know the cooks for a crispier one). The day I came back from home after vacation, Puris even though a special food, never tasted good. The first meal at home after school was always spicy.

At home Mondays were for green leafy vegetables as they had to be consumed before they got dry (pre- fridge days), saturdays were for tomato curry.

I got the idea for this post from Remical bingham's poem marchers headed for washington baltimore 1963

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.
