Coconut cake and curry

I had collected some very fancy recipes for a coconut lovers bday. But it fell on a festival and eggs are not allowed.
Vegan coconut cake is the way to go. I have never used vinegar in cakes before.
Yesterday, my husband bought green plantain. I have cooked it before but this was Dole's and felt it would ripen, given time. So I wasnt sure if it would be sweet and ruin the curry. But after reading that even banana peel can be used to make
Banana peel curry 
I went ahead and made the curry, without even boiling like the oriignal green ones are supposed to be prepped.
From samosas, there was green chutney remaining. I had to use it.  Mint Chutney rice.

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.
