And how lovely to see you A2King, G! (A rather rare event these days! Sad )


OK, OK, so what have you guys been eating?
Tell!

Tonight: one of those microwave-able packets of fish fillets in a parsley sauce, along with my additions of steamed brussel sprouts (don't screw up your nose! I love 'em!) & steamed French beans on plain steamed rice. OK, a lazy meal, I know. But I just wasn't in the mood to go to a lot of trouble tonight. Thank goodness for hidden surprises (I'd forgotten I'd bought) in the freezer!

It is my cousin's birthday today so we are all invited over for dinner at our aunt's place. Aunt is a fabulous cook. What I love best, and mom hates most, about her food is that she adds a heluva lot of spices (red chilli,black pepper etc) to her gravies. Rumour has it that we are going to have a very special Indian delicacy for today's dinner.

Shahi Paneer. Shahi implies for 'royal' and Paneer is cottage cheese. I can't wait for the dinner!!

Here's the recipe
for all those whose palates are dripping saliva.

Oh, lucky you, spider!
Why can't I have an aunt that cooks like that? (I'm very big on spice! Very Happy )
I am so jealous!

Last night I took some boneless chicken breasts, marinated them in a dry rub I had on hand, and threw them on the grill for about 6 minutes/side.

They were delicious. Just heated up leftovers to go with them.

(Dry rub in this case is mostly sugar, white and brown, with spices mixed in).

we had broiled mackerel (verrry fresh) splits doused with a sherry /lemon butter. Some steamed clams and a mesclun salad.
No dessert, now sitting here watching my wife do some airbrush work. I have a wet filter cloth over the AC return and if it shows any color , I pull the plug.
Cup of rooiboos tea is nice. Takes away some of the sunburn pain again

I've been cooking Christmas puddings this weekend - for a Christmas in July party I'm going to next weekend.

It'll seem odd - having some sort of Christmas celebration when it's cold! We're going up to a friend's place in the Blue Mountains, outside Sydney, and we're hoping for some snow - about a once a year event up there. They'll have a fire, and turkey, and....

But - no mangoes, no summer....sheeesh!

Izzat one of them treackle puddings that they serve with an unsweetend whipped cream. I love em. They serve em at the New Brusnwick Hotel "Th Algonquin" . I think its one of the Canadian Pacific places. they have a very sticky sweet pudding served warm with this unsweetened cream topping . Damn, its a heart attck on the plate but they have to pry the smile off your cold dead corpse.

Ain't no treacle in these puds - just mixed fruit, and dates and sugar and spices, and butter and stuff!

To a gastronomic monk as I, the word "PUDDING" conjures up pictures of boxes of cooked sweet slop that, when properly made, develops a thick rind in the refrigerator( which I claim, is the best part of the Jello pudding)
I only learned that "Pudding" is an entire class of things that many of ehich, are actually quite delicious. (Others, not so much)

dinner tonight
a "chicken" kebab with something that looked suspiciously unlike chicken in.

I had one bite and threw it in the bin

Baby back ribs were on sale for $2.99 a lb so I bought a couple of slabs and marinated them in soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Slow cooked for two hours and...yum

Sounds good, panz. I didn't have two hours to waste, so I went with a couple of peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. And a tall glass of milk.

Why is it that a cold glass of milk, at certain times, can cause one to attain almost orgasmic culinary reactions. Damn! I slammed that milk down and just stared at the glass. Sweet.

Broiled seabass with Israelian couscous,
spinach and mushrooms,
topped with Pistachio butter.

I didn't cook it though, just made reservations.
