Hon Machi

Long time ago when I went to Hon Machi, I was in my own world and didnt realise that the Teppanyaki chef through a pea to be caught. This time I know, meant to be caught not by hand but by mouth. As does the squeezed oil go into the mouth of partyers.
A story that I have to regale everytime is the Chris McFarley's Beverly Ninja movie scene of being the chef with a piece of meat on his forehead.
There was one sauce that I asked seconds for. My husband a mustard fan likes stronger kind of sauces, so I was wary of trying it. Once hooked, I wanted it on everything.
The onion volcano is kind of cute.

Why recall only the good food memories? Why not recall those utter failures.
Inspired from the edamame salad at Hon Machi, my husband got some peas to be boiled and shelled when ready to eat. To his and everyone's surprise, what should we see when we opened the pods, pea free.

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.
