Cheese! It's what's for Dinner...
Mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, fresh Basil...what could possible go wrong? Not a thing, that's what. Yummy, yummy, yum...
Oh, and mine looked just as good :)

Hello? Is This Thing On???
Obviously the musical interlude left everyone somnolent. Perhaps some food might stir things up (with apologies to my FB friends who have already seen this).

Okay people you have to make and eat this. Really, you do. It's a taste explosion, especially when you use twice as much garlic which I did :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks SOOO tasty! Did you make your own puff pastry? I'll bet it would taste great with thinly sliced bell peppers and paper-thin slices of fresh mushroom too.
DeleteAll of a sudden I'm famished...:)
We are currently being picketed by the Vampire Protection League.
ReplyDeleteBut you HAVE to make it. You will thank Fay later.
In a marriage, sometimes alone-time and space is required. Other situations mandate real togetherness.
ReplyDeleteGarlic can help sort this out.
Meanwhile.... weapons of mass destruction:

I have one of these in my fridge...
High-octane iced coffee! I'd be bouncing off the walls! lol
DeleteGarlic is definitely one of those culinary treats best shared by two. :)
Okay....I see I'm among another group of people that think garlic is a staple food to be eaten in mass quantities. No, people, as I vainly try to convince my east European friends, it is a spice...a SPICE, to be used as seasoning, not as the main course. This concept y'all have is like the Arabs eating parsley as a main salad course...it, too, it s seasoning, not a damn veggie. They don't listen either.
DeleteNext: Coffee. Please, please don't tell me y'all keep jugs of factory made cold coffee around and actually drink it? I mean it's good for removing rust like Coca Cola but without the sugar, but to imbibe? It is Eau du Sweat Sock Juice.
Try fresh roasted (within the week) 70% Italian dark roast Arabica beans (like Excelsior or similar) blended with 30% light roasted Arabica beans (like Columbian Supremo) ground fine (between #5 and #9 on a commercial grinder, or 20 seconds in a counter top number, and make it with 190 degree F water +/- 3 degrees, wither in ordinary drip machine or a French press...if the later, let steep for 5 minutes, then press. If you must have it cold, use fresh ice cubes or put it in a bottle and chill it to 38 degrees for later.
F-r-e-s-h is the key to coffee. Fresh and made right, it has its own sweetness over the natural bitter flavors.
Anyone on the masthead wants to try my roast, blend, and grind, let me know and I'll send you a pound fresh from Hashems ... which is 2 blocks from my house. Grind #5 for expresso (or finer) and drip, and #9 for screen presses or tea balls in hot water (when out in the boonies).
LMAO lewy!
DeleteAri - dude - google the label!
DeleteNot iced coffee. Cold brew. Different stuff. Really low acid.
You can drink it black, cold or at room temp, sits for hours... never gets nasty.
From Stumptown. My local coffee shop.
I get a Chemex brew now and then from them. You let half a cup sit out and come back in a few hours and the entire apartment smells of amazing coffee. Again, it doesn't get nasty. Actually it tastes better lukewarm; you can get the complexity of it.
Let's just say... it doesn't suck.
Damn...Blogger ate my reply to the Portlandian.
DeleteI will try the cold brew method and get back. I shall use the French Press method to check it out.
Hell of a system, 12 hours to steep and all that. Sweetness is not a function of cold water, just water that is not near 200 degrees.
Is this something like the steeped sun only made tea?
A jug of factory made? Nah. Not me.
Garlic is a wonderful thing. I currently have about 1/3 loaf of Italian bread left, with whole garlic cloves baked into it. Yu-um!
ReplyDeleteMy coffee this morning is Kauai Coffee Company Single Estate Medium Roast (only because they were out of the dark) which is rich and smooth.
As backups, I have Emeril's New Orleans Dark Roast and Caffe Gallarate Northern Italian Roast, both guaranteed to keep you up and bouncing well past the time you should be asleep
My coffee addition is so long lived and strong that I cannot sleep if I haven't had a hot cup of fresh coffee just before bedtime.
DeleteI have some strange characteristics.....yes I do.
