Strawberries a la Colony

This is from a really old recipe card that managed to find it’s way into my possession; and I haven’t had the chance to try it yet, but it looks and sounds really good. It’s supposed to be from the Colony Restaurant in New York.

My latest hobby

I have this really endearing (according to Cory) habit of getting overly attached to my pets; be they digital, pixel, or flesh and blood. I talk to my dogs on a regular basis and adore my current pixel pets over at howrse.com and subeta.org.

Falafel

Falafel is very popular in the Middle East as a fast food. Vendors sell it on the street corners in Cairo. As a main dish, it is served as a sandwich, stuffed in pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and tahini. As an appetizer, it is served on a salad, or with hummus and tahini. Falafel is a favorite among vegetarians.

In Egypt, McDonald’s has their version of a falafel sandwich. Can you guess the name? McFalafel, of course.

Bring on the Pressure

Modern pressure cookers are a far cry from earlier models, which emitted smelly vapors that condensed on everything in sight. Even worse, they could be dangerous. Our updated speed cookers are models of efficiency and safety, with lids that remain locked until after the steam is released. They reduce cooking times by as much as 70 percent for most foods—and without the loss of nutrients. Beans, which ordinarily require hours of cooking, are tender in fewer than 15 minutes; a pot of chili, in 20 minutes. In some cases, pressure cooking is actually faster than microwave cooking: Cooked under pressure, artichokes are done in only 10 to 14 minutes, compared to 40 to 45 minutes in a microwave.
