Hide the butter

Recently I had potato fry at my friends BBQ and next visit at Costco made me an owner of 10lb of potatoes. My first trial was aloo fry and then aloo parathas. With some stuff still remaining, I wanted to make puff pastry. To inform myself on making puff pastry at home, I watched some videos. I was convinced to make cutlets by resorting to shallow fry than to hide a slab of butter in rolled out dough. When I put forward this step above from non-frying me, my husband was flying on the magic carpet of curry puffs. I couldnt become the perp so I made Pepperidge farms puff pastry, the silent accomplice. It was a hunt finding it. Knowing that the sheets are thawed, I knew where to find it. the frozen section. At my eye level, there were boxes of pumpkin pie. Last week we recieved  a 12" pp instead of a $75 rebate. I think it was worth it, all that lardering up the body. When I tracked down the pastry sheets with a representatives help, I thought I might have never found it, given the picture on package. The glossy picture had red fruit stuffing in between the sheets which would have never made me think that it was only the sheets that I was looking for and nothing else. What do you think, should items come with enhanced utility, when the plain objects might make the search easier?
I had made chole too, with some left over boiled chickpeas. The  drawn out curry puff drama had one more stuffing joining the fray - spiced chickpeas. although I was glad about coming up with the idea of the chickpea stuffing, Tarla Dalal was ahead of me in the line with this one.
The final outcome was that snacks became dinner. I miss not making the egg curry puffs. The spicy stuffing within  flaky bites is a good way to call it a day.

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.
