Cracked wheat

I have made goduma rava upma quite  a few times now. But today without sweating for too long. From the Tabbouleh salad episode, I wanted to try making the goduma rava upma in the bulgur style of letting it sit in boiled water. I put 2 and 1/2 cups of water to boil in a seasoning of ginger, onions, cumin, green chili and salt. Attending to the baby, I asked my husband to put in 1 cup of cracked wheat #1 (size # if you are wondering what this sizing is all about). 20-30 min later, I recalled that we should have put in 1 and 1/2 cup of cracked wheat. I went into the kitchen expecting a water logged dish. But there were few depressions indicating that te grain to water ratio was good.

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.
