Every once in a while, you create something epic. It might be a sentence you compose that truly relates your view, a game you write that make your players curse you forever, or a combination of eye shadow that could make Baby Jesus weep at the eleganza! (Ok, maybe, that is just me). This last Sunday, I created some really wonderful food. I made six dishes that were all complex, wonderful and had great taste and texture.
Pictured above is the Osso Buco I made, slowly roasting it
for two hours. The smells of veggies, white wine, tomatoes and seitan drifted
through our house and outside, creating a shield of great smells around our
house. It was a beautiful thing to sniff, and even more beautiful to taste.
I also made Tofu Foo Yong. For those missing Egg Foo Yong,
this had a perfect taste and texture. A touch of black salt gave it a hint of
egginess and they were bright and fluffy little cakes with straw mushrooms, celery,
and green onions. They relished their splash of soy sauce and I served them
with rice scented with toasted sesame oil, green onions, and green onions. Oh,
the joy!
I was also particularly proud of the Mustard Miso Crusted
Tofu with Crushed Peanut Topping. I served it over a bed of Raisin Curry Rice,
and it was a joy to nibble on. Between Jason, Eleanor and I, it quickly
disappeared.
Most of all, I was proud I actually took the time to write
out all these recipes. I am back to work on my first book, which will feature
comfort food from all over the world, but will have a lot of Southern recipes. After
all, a girl does not get curves like mine without feeding them….
So enjoy the pictures, while I get back to work. I do want
to update the blog. What would you all like more of? Would you like reviews?
How about book teasers? More recipes and if so, what? Let a girl know.
Talk to you soon,
-Madelyn
