Grilled tomatoes

tasted good with rice. The salad with its sauce was enough to accompany rice. I have a knack of choosing dry dishes when i eat Chinese or Vietnamese. While reading Chinese cooking, I went duh! if you have to eat with chopsticks then you will not want to pick up sauce with it.
At the Middle eastern store. I found green beans. There was Turkish delight there, with citric acid in ingredients. I was wondering until then, what  might those piles of citric acid be used for? There were bags of dry lemons for which I knew no use of until this article. moghrabieh, a Lebanese product caught my attention too. they reminded me of hand made pearls of dough made in our homes during Vinayaka Chathurthi. When I saw a Lebanese cooking book, I wanted an image. My finger was on Laban immo. Meat looked white washed in yogurt.
We bought bulgur,couscous, vernicelli thin long semiyan as a bad substitute for pheni.

Fregula looks like Lebanese couscous, Moghrabieh but its baked. I came across Fregula in Michaels genuine food. I went through this book before, but it didnt catch my attention then. Today I had Manaeesh Zataar. We had Indian Fry Bread at Halloween Carnival. A little girl in a mermaid dress said," Hi, hows my costume?' .
You look very good.
The best costune I remember is an old lady in a bathrobe with a befitting mask, a butcher's knife in her hand and house slippers. I almost mistook the costumed for an old lady.
We were early for a better parking space. seeing no signs of carnival, we followed a trio - a mom, a kid in a black overall with a candy pail and grey face. We were led to the other end of the park. We saw kids in costumes like elephant,cop,petal skirt..
when we had enough, we had to walk all the way back. an earnest old couple asked us about the party. We told them that there lay some distance ahead of them. When we reached the car, we found a family with dressed up kids who needed to be told to drive to the other end of the park.

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.

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.
