Weekend Wrap-Up (August 21-22)

Fried Bananas

The weather wasn't so great in NYC on Sunday, so Tom was a little more prolific in the kitchen. He made a lot of stuff, I took a lot of photos. So let's just get down to it, shall we?

Weekend Evaluation: I know I-tey food when I hear it - it's all them 'eenie' foods (aka 'His name's not Fellini, it's Jake')

I feel like I'm only cooking Italian food right now; kind of boring myself, but you don't want to get in the way of these ingredients.  In the summer I usually cook a lot of mexican too, but this year I'm in a Mediterranean rut - we need to have some sopes or something soon.    I guess I shouldn't complain, the next thing you know we'll only be potatoes, cabbage, and winter squash everyday.

Speaking of which - we did finally make it to the Red Hook carts this weekend, the papusa was pretty good and I got my hands on some chicharron and beef tendon tacos.  I do think I prefer Tortilleria Nixmatel.

Weekend Wrap Up (July 23-25)

Most things slow down and get lazy in the summer- it must be the heat, since people in the South move slower in general. Tom's cooking has been no different, so my posts are going to be shorter as a result.

This past weekend, Tom wanted to use up some ingredients. So here we have some jars of stuff:

Blueberry Jam, Chicken Liver Pate, Pickles

Weekend Evaluation: I Don't Have Time To Bleed

We weren't at home much this weekend, like most summer weekends.  I guess it's a bad time to start documenting how much cooking you do when it's not a time for being indoors.

Besides, I have no room in the freezer for projects right now.  The project these days is to clear out the freezer; I got the chicken livers and mole out of there.  Maybe I'll have room for the ice cream maker soon, we were out of ice cream for the hottest days I can remember.

I haven't made breakfast for the both of us in weeks, and I'm missing that and making bread; but I'll have all winter to do that.
