The food thread

Tonight had fresh local beet greens, fresh local asparagus, and fresh local fiddleheads. And a little steak. I love grilled asparagus. These early spring veggies are like a breath of fresh air.

Fresh bamboo shoots asparagus and wild green onions made it into the fried rice last night.

fresh local fiddleheads.

Probably my favourite green veg. Unfortunately they're $60 for a 5 lbs. box here.

So a few after a few months of aging it's now ready for bottling. Some of my 'customers' prefer it straight while others like it filtered. I don't have a preference. As the 'Dad' I like them equally. This is hotter than the green Tabasco version but not volcano.

They get down to $5 a lb. here at some stores. I think there are some foragers in ME. They also supply the tiny wild low bush blueberries, a real seasonal treat. I once spent an entire afternoon gathering enough for one big pie.

At that price I might consider going vegetarian for the season.

You're gettin' me reminiscin'. I love the blueberries, Saskatoon berries and the strawberries. Up in our Cariboo region you get up while there's still mist on the lake and by the time it's burnt off, you have gathered enough berries to top a couple bowls of cereal. They're scarce but by golly, they're the best.

Cooking all day

Enchaladas this weekend. They aren't worth making unless one makes enought to freeze and eat later. These were chicken enchaladas.

I'm not on a beer and jello diet for the next 36 hours.

beer is a clear liquid.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Looks good Gimp.

 

[TheGimp]

Thanks Cal.

Ignore the "not" in my last post.

I had a plate of enchaladas, beans and rice last night. A half hour later I dranks a bottle of Magnewium citrate solution. Time for my 5 year checkup.

Bleh!

You'll find this amusing -- in yesterday's NY Times -- what women think of when they are expecting -- many food items included:

Durian -- now that's an aquired taste! Prevents copulation.

Durian don't see the problems, OTOH wine in Nigeria does not compute.

I just finished three large honey garlic chicken fajitas and dammit they were good.

 

[Cal Weldon]

fajitas

I love pronouncing this in a phonetic sort of manner with a long 'i', when I am around the uninitiated.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Durian is an awesome dessert especially if you stab the pods with a fork, freeze them and eat it like ice cream.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

In Goggle, type : es cendol durian

(es = ice, cendol are the green rice-jelly worms, aka tjendol here, or banh lot/lot chong in Vietnam and Thailand)
