Couscous

Made Couscous last night and had it with the Cabbage Comeliness. and I have noticed that it is very filling (same with corn upma aka polenta). While reading up on it, I came across a restaurant review of Mombar which almost made me want to write a surreal book after reading this line 'Pyramids of couscous are served alongside age-old recipes, like mombar, for which the restaurant is named, a stuffed sausage dish that Mr. Sayed’s grandmother used to make.'

The story would have someone know that they arrived once they are at the place or something like that will be said by a soothsayer.

Come to think of places and realisations while watching the FBI story,  when the scarlet macaws were found, suddenly it hit me about the 'macayo' restaurant. 



(Yesterday happened to be a significant day in the movie too)

Back to the mombar Menu. another interesting thing in the review is that each town had their own cuisine.

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.
