This stuff has a very odd taste property. It literally demands that you keep eating it. "Next spoonful will be the one that's enough."

It owns you. At least till it has been completely consumed. I have been indulging in mango and guava nectars, quite satisfying.
 
Learned something the hard way while trying to make a chicken vindaloo this day:

Don't use a spice grinder to grind whole cinamon sticks without busting them up into very small pieces first.
 
Not exactly food, but...

First cup of French Press in awhile (have to break my naughty habit of stopping by a coffee place for my addiction; it's getting too spendy).

Kaladi Brothers' Mexico blend (but of course!) French pressed ("Wow, that's strong," said Tbear) with some hazelnut milk (not hazelnut flavored, but still adds a nice touch of nuttiness). His was with sugar and dairy milk, per usual.

Something about French press coffee that's just... different. Kicks drip ass, but also has a thickness to it that espresso doesn't provide. "Coffee you can chew," yeah, that's it!

Haven't eaten anything yet today, but that just may hold me for a bit.
 
Who knows about cooking with coconut milk?

You can't simmer it for half an hour, right? Via curdling.
 
My mouth at this moment is quivering with afterOs.

It was an experiment with skinless, boneless breasts. So called versatile but not my favorite. I usually find them dry in most recipes but buy them on sale anyway because they're healthy, right?

But I'm an incredible cook.

Pounded them out to 1/4 inch.

Spread them with a homemade boursin. (Toasted walnuts, cream cheese, feta cheese, fresh grated garlic and onion, S&P.)

Layered with fresh spinach leaves.

Rolled up tight...

Flour, egg, panko crumbs

Browned in olive oil..

Cut into and the cheese just flowed like butter.

Served with black beans and rice.

You could find pieces of retread on the side of the highway, cook them like that and they'd taste good.
 
indian night

My latest obession since discovering Madhur Jaffrey and Kalustyan's on Lex Ave.

Pork in spicy mustard sauce with home-made spice blend (coriander, cumin, fenugreek, ground red chiles, turmeric, black mustard, cloves, peppercorns)

Potatoes with chiles, spices ginger and amchoor powder which is very sour, citrusy, dried mango powder, like lemon juice x10.

Chapatis (flatbread)

Kind of meat and potatoes, starchy stick to the ribs thing by way of northern India.
 
My favorite chocolate cake ever.

I got obsessed with chocolate cake and came up with this concoction.

Now, for the cake...fact is...cake mix is fine with me. Duncan Hines devil's food (pudding in the mix!) is my favorite...so far. I haven't tried 'em all yet, but this one was fine. Just make one in two pans.

Then the frosting was...chocolate mousse. Here's the recipe...I've probably posted it here before, but I'm gonna do it again.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Ingredients
• 6 oz milk chocolate chips
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 Tbsp rum or Kahlua (play around, with this recipe I used butterscotch schnapps)
• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

Melt chocolate. Cream the butter with half the sugar until pale. Beat in the cocoa. In another bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining sugar. Stir in rum. Whip cream until it holds its shape. Beat the chocolate into the creamed butter, stir in yolk mixture, then fold in whipped cream.

Now...

Before frosting, brush the top of each cake with a little bit of cherry schnapps. Then frost with the chocolate mousse.

Oh maaaan. So good.

Happy Easter!
 
Yummy!

bionaturae whole wheat spaghetti, from Italy
You can have it al dente.
And I do not mean crunchy and chewy.
 
Alrite, if I was making a dressing with cumin, garlic, cayenne, salt and lime juice, what kind of oil would I use.

Olive doesn't sound right.

Help me out foodies.
