Squash rice gratin

My friend forwarded Zucchini rice gratin recipe The good thing about recipes from friends is that they come with dos and donts like this one came with the 'Dont slice the Zucchini too thin or it will burn'.
She had also sent a picture of the dish with the bright red tomatoes on top.
For a while now, I have been wanting to cook Squash. After seeing dozens of squash soups and other recipes, I had few waiting for the great inspiration which happens to be substituting Zucchini in the Rice Gratin. If I hadnt added my personal touch of burning the garlic, it would have not added to the bitterness of squash which bothered my husband more. As the maker, I had to shut up and just eat.
I could claim that my attention was split with split my bill or baby's wails but I cant kid - I was lazing on the couch, letting the fire do its magic and only when my nose figured some burnt .. oh onions.. I knew I messed up.

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.
