Arabian Nights

A while ago I heard of 24 (TV series) from my colleague who had come groggy eyed one day from watching it. Weekend seemed like a safe bet for it.
Midnight we were hungry. Cause we didnt have dinner and that we didnt cause of the show on TV.
I wondered what can be made quickly. I knew it had to have gs in some form. Scrambled or omelette in a sandwich. When I mixed salt and chilli powder in the eggs I wasnt sure if I hadnt put a little too much. The oil a lot of it in the pan was heated up and just when I was to make an omelette (which I always manage to mess up), the red lumps of unmixed chili powder set off an internal decision making process and I found myself cutting up the brad in half and dipping it in the liquid. It took me back to college times where we had what was referred to as French toast or Bombay toast- toast Indian style or the savoury style, he night before exams. Being that close to bread heaven , I was reminded of soft bread pakora. The trouble is the frying. Can they be pan fried?

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.

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.
