Poached



I thought Teddy was an animal to begin with. Having been a volunteer at the Phoenix Zoo for the koala exhibit, I was all set to read the book. Phew, the pre-teeners, what they try to pull off.
For science week/month this year, Chandler, AZ had a small display to solve a fictional crime with some evidence and lab experts all in one tent. This chase too to solve the mystery, keeps whats in the domain of our little solver - some sleuthing, guessing, elimination, the real brainy things accessible and the lab expert kind of stuff in the hands of characters out of scope. This chiaroscuro of keeping just the things needed to solve the problem in focus makes the young readers easily fall into the game of playing detective.

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.
