Rainbows in pots

Moving boiled pasta
from one dish
to another of sauteed
vegetables

I find streaks of
rainbow
at the bottom of
the pot

from the oil drops
added to pasta
while boiling
so the pasta wont stick

Like most things in Costco that come in bulk and languish in pantry, Annies Homegrown totally natural shells was the latest candidate given the 'must go' card. They were all emptied into a ziploc bag so they could be bulk cooked.

I sauteed a bag of stir fry frozen vegetables and boiled shell pasta on the side. After mixing the pasta I felt that the pepper didnt do its magic and that the pasta could use a can of tomato sauce.

While eating the pasta, I admired how the tiny shells had the tomato sauce filled in them. And then there were some shells that closed exactly like hemispheres in a globe. There were some that looked liked vanes of a turbine.

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.
