...is as a beer cooler?
I'm posting from the furthest corner of a BASEMENT these days,
and it's a bit of a schlep to go upstairs to the kitchen
every time I need a beer.
That pot holds 8 cans- I add a little water and ice, and I have cold beer
next to my chair all night long!
I think I'll actually be using it tomorrow.
Monday is the day I cook a nice supper for my housemates,
and one of my "minor finds" at the shop was a 1971 paperback edition
of Julia Child's "The French Chef Cookbook".
I'm feeling a bit adventurous this week, so I may attempt
to make a dish I've never eaten or even SEEN:
From page 376, her 117th show: 'Quennelles de Poisson'
I've never had such a dish, but reading the description has me ITCHING to try it.
It just sounds TASTY as all get-out, knowhutImean?
So it'll be an experiment.
In case it goes badly, I've got a few of my old standbys on the menu:
Some of my everyday big wide broiled "portabella-stuffed portabellas"
and some fresh local handmade inch-wide egg noodles
that I'll do in a heavy Garlic-Parmesan cream sauce.
If the quennelle experiment goes badly, I can move the broiled portabellas
up to a "main course" in 5 minutes.
Toast some bread in butter in the big skillet, 15 seconds per side....
portabella cap + tomato slice + a layer of baby spinach,
and 45 seconds in the broiler to melt a slice of Muenster cheese over it all.
Then slice it diagonally and drizzle it with a sauce made from
the egg-noodle parmesan/cream sauce mixed with a bit of soy sauce,
Worchestershire sauce, olive oil, turmeric and sea salt.
That makes a darned tasty sandwich...but that's only 'Plan B'
for this evening.
Plan "A" is the Quennelles de Poisson.
Wish me luck with the fish quennelles, won't you?
