Vinayaka Chavithi

Two days ago I was thinking about pasham and gave up on it for the drying that I would have to do before. My MIL asked if I was going to make it. when I told her of the drying, she said it is not needed. Here I am listening to Vinayaka puja and the story. I didnt roll out too many of them. But after a bit of boiling and adding the fried almonds, I could tell when it was syrupy and done.
Growing up, there was devotional songs all around the community with huge idols of Ganesha. Small packets of lemon rice and laddu were disributed freely.

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.
