Ate at a breakfast place this morning that only carried Tabasco; for a brief moment contemplated becoming a guy who brings his own hot sauce to restaurants. Is this how getting old begins? #cooking#breakfast#restaurants#HotSauce#old
Hey everyone!
My name is Alessandro but you can call me Alex.
I am part of the #TechTribe and work as an #IT architect, but "it's nothing serious".
My pronouns are he/him, I'm married and a crazy cat person wannabe 😆
I love #gaming and have another account dedicated to a gaming community, but this is my personal account. I'm a huge #hiking / #trekking fan, and I love #photography and #cooking.
On Wednesday I made Callaloo, a dish from Trinidad & Tobago where one of my friends originates from. It is meant to be a soup but often eaten like a side dish with rice. It is named after a green leafy vegetable that is similar to spinach and can by replaced by spinach if you can’t get a hold of actual fresh callaloo.
My friend gave me some pointers but alas I could not get all of the vegetables I should have used in time. It still tasted great and we ate this over two days with the second day making the flavours stronger, as it happens so often. 👌🏻
I started with making Caribbean green seasoning (consisting of many fresh herbs and garlic and some other optional items like a deseeded Habanero pepper) as close to the original as I could. After that I cooked the callaloo (using crab meat, spinach, coconut milk and more). When that was almost done I made basmati rice and added some frozen king prawns to my callaloo on low to medium heat to get them to a perfect consistency.
We also added some of my friend‘s truly homemade hot sauce and everything worked so well together that I‘m sure this wasn’t my last callaloo. 😋
On Tuesday we had this dish that consisted of miso butter wafu (Japanese style) pasta with cabbage and Chinese style three cup tofu.
The pasta dish recipe can easily made to be vegan by using tofu, so I thought I try this promising looking Chinese tofu dish with it and yes, it worked. 😋 My tofu had been frozen twice und defrosted before cooking to make it soak up even more sauce.
The post you are about to read is not a prelude to a recipe. This is not a recipe blog, and this is not a recipe blog post. This is a tale of mild obsession (mine) to find the origin of a recipe, and to correctly credit the creator.
@dys_morphia I recall A to Z bread being served in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, Pleasant Hill to be specific in the 70s & 80s, it was on the printed weekly menus. Always wondered why it was called that and why few others had heard of it.
