Food art

Bite by bite
Potted shrimp. Just a look at few of the photos in the book will make you wonder if you are 'Alice in the foodland'.
Looking at the mini blinis I am reminded that this morning we had mini pancakes with custard and  coconut stuffing.
I tried taro bun too expecting the bun to be made of taro flour if such a thing is possible. Everybody that I am intrdoucing to red bean bread seems to like it. I still have to have the custard bread. Now I need to know how to make the custard. Will make this Baked Custard.
watermelon lollipops.
stuffing in potato cones
plantain cones
onion rings presented as over tower of Hanoi.
Creme brulee oatmeal
Pheasants under glass
mintini
hot mulled cider in an apple
lemonade in a lemon.

When I called my friend-colleagues home for dinner, they bought me cuties and grapes. The other day when I saw crabapples, I bought  abag home so my parents could try them. They are too many. I have to pitch in too in the name of snack pangs to finish them. While I was having the cuties and Crabapples after lunch, I was reminded of peter's food. I starte dlooking at his blog again and found crab apples arranged as caramel dipped apples.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
