Flan

After the Tres Leches cake, I learnt that things need their time. I was told that it would taste better if it soaked longer in the liquid.
So Flan will be done tonight. What U like best about this recipe is that it uses milk instead of the evaporated and the condensed milk others call for.




Bought

cornstarch yesterday. All this while I have been skipping the recipes with cornstarch. But after my recent debacles of missed frostings, I resorted to it.
(In India too, cotton sarees were treated with rice starch to stiffen them after a wash)
The Argo lady looks like a mermaid.
I even bought some colours.

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.
