Asparagus casserole

Asparagus Casserole

This was a very rushly made casserole. And what happens when you make things in a rush? Forget some thing. In over generalization of a casserole way, I forgot that the asparagus need to be boiled for few minutes. since I skipped that. I had to bake for a longer time. I like the end result but it is far from the perfect good feeling that occurs when you cook in a  relaxed manner.
The recipes I looked at needed cream of mushroom. I looked in the pantry for an alternate and found just the right candidate. Campbells Chicken and corn chowder. And for Cheese, I used 2 packets of Annies's Cheddar Cheese powder from a big sash of Costco stuff. I didnt need to sue the cheese, but for the dish full of asparagus, one can of chowder was not enough wet ingredient.
All in all, it tasted good. Lemon pepper and Delallo breadcrumbs as part substitute for the French onions, led the show.
On the side are some squash that got a gentle bake. they will find their way to a frittata.
I was so tempted to make Asparagus souffle since I found a cheese make do. Thank goodness it called for many steps. do you sometimes go crazy and think you want to make 300 things?

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.
