alright! This week or whatever length of time:
fun with potatos! do something that you normally don't do with them. Basically nothing that Master Samwise Gamgee would approve of 'mash 'em, boil 'em, stick 'em in a stew' This weekend Limertilly and I made Perogies. Pictures to come shortly.

mmmm, I love pierogies. don't bother making them though, it's easier to just buy them since I'm the only one who likes them.
I don't have pictures, but my berry thing will be blackberry mousse. I picked the blackberries over the course of a week, squished them yesterday and strained the juice, that's in the fridge. next I'll heat it up, add some lemon and lime juice and gelatin, cool it until it's syrupy, whip some cream with sugar and vanilla and then fold in the blackberry syrup. Still can't decide whether to just have mousse or pour it into a graham cracker crust.

you can't, apparently, get pierogies here. i thought they were nice, but not nice enough for all the bloody effort involved.

This is why I don't bother making them.  But, I have plenty of pierogie choices in my area, so, it's not really a problem.How did you cook them? I like them fried in oil, then sprinkled with salt n pepper n curry powder and eaten with sour cream. They're also quite nice pan fried in lots of butter and carmelized onions.

we boiled them, then pan fried,. and served with corn on the cob, veggie sausages, gravy and sour cream.
liz said she didn't want onions, so we didn't use onions, but i'd just as happily have had onion with it. "Are you a princess?

There's loads of places to get frozen pierogi in West London, since there is such a huge and recent immigrant Polish community (as well as the many Poles that have been here since WW2). I like them pan fried in butter with caramelised onions AND sour cream added on top! And lardons. Not a light meal. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

lardons?
They're not a light meal and I generally have them in October-ish. I'm intrigued by BeeZee's gnocchi.

yeah, they're really filling. but although there's a fairly large polish community here, we have ONE tiny bit of an aisle dedicated to polish food, but no frozen section stuff. so no pierogies.

Lardons = little bits of cut-up bacon.
I first had pierogis cooked like this in a blizzard in a shack cafe in Northern Ontario. It made sense in weather like that, and really hit the spot. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

Okay chocolate:  Defrost the shrimps  Cut up some garlic and some chili peppers   Saute all of the above until the shrimps are pink.   FLAMBE!  Add some dark unsweetened or bittersweet chocolate. Add two tangerines (or if you're a cheater like me one can of canned tangerines) Cook until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is thickened up a bit. Serve!  ---------------- Never stare into a car's headlights and freeze, because you'll either be run over or shot. |

oh yegads, I can't imagine ruining perfectly good chocolate by pouring it on seafood.

Yeah, no seafood for me either. Texture and smell.
Anyone have any good recommendations for Indian (East Indian) cookbooks? |

Any of Madhur Jaffrey's are good intros.
My favorite go-to Indian cookbook is "Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking". I just got a look at this one last week and it looks very good. ______________________ Fandangling across the moony sky, went the Beezee bold as brass, side-saddle she sat, on a big painted bat, shooting moonbeams out of her a(censored)e. ~Joe ________________________ Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway?

This is very fancy pan-flinging! What does it taste like? (It sounds - what with the prawns and the tangerines and the chocolate - like it might be a bit sweet.) What do you serve it with? *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

Chocolate prawns?
 I don't like prawns on their own let alone chocolate on them....*shudder*  "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |
