On Topic and Off, too
On topic:
We had some cow-orkers over the other evening for wine and Cow Hill "tappas" -- i.e. stuff to to stuff in your gullet whilst swilling wine. I made this: Sliced an eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds, salted and allowed to drain. Brushed with olive oil and grilled till done and a little charred, but still very flexible. Marinated thin sliced of cucumber and red onion in rice wine vinegar. (or was that rice vinegar?) Mixed 2/3 package of cream cheese with about a teaspoon of prepared wasabi. I used the powdered kind in the tin. It's Cow Hill, you know. Sliced some good smoked salmon (I'd picked it up in the Central Market near UT-D earlier) into strips. Made "tacos." Smeared the grilled aubergine with wasabi cream cheese, laid strips of onion, cucumber, and salmon on. Folded over to taco shape and sealed with a dab more cream cheese. They went fast. Off topic: Joe Bob Briggs (http://www.joebobbriggs.com/) reports: "The first bear hunt in New Jersey in 33 years is scheduled for December, but only 6,300 hunters applied for the 10,000 available hunting permits, meaning that a lot of the Jersey bears are going to be able to use flanking maneuvers." Off topic unless you eat bears, I guess. Or bear hunters. modom Since I lost the brindle cat, The rats come right up and peer into the pot. -- Han Shan |
