More culture

With very little time in the morning, I had to prepare lunch. I boiled some penne. I added olive oil, dried parsley and ground black pepper. I then added some chopped boiled eggs. This was the planned lunch. An email declared that the cafeteria was doing an early Thanksgiving Lunch. My first thanksgiving lunch was at a host parents house. The rolls coming fresh out of the oven. the first time I met them at an Indian restaurant they overwhelmed me by ordering five dishes for us three.I thought the turkey would be bland but the sage crust done turkey was juicy and flavorful. Mashed potatoes are my husbands favorite. Looking at the assortment of gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, reen beans, grilled acorn squash, sweet potato wedges, he couldnt decide what to eat when he had to have seconds. Pumpkin pie cooling in the fridge was only going to add to the traffic jam of choices.
Now I have to learn how to make those green beans. And all the recipes of celery for its negative calorie advantage.
Now there are companies that do your genetic analysis and suggest what kind of diet and exercise works best for your weight loss.

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.
