Today's menu:

Because of a birthday in the f-i-l, I had to make a noyé dans le café (affogato) and muffins. Before you ask, I did cut off the aluminum baking form before serving.

Comments: nice and moist, better than CB&TL. Which doesn’t mean a lot but I’ll take it.

 

[jstar]

Of course that’s plain vanilla ice. I’m experimenting with a Boretti ice maker which has been standing idle for too long in the garage with the rest of the equipment. I want to make rum raisin.

Looks good. Not everyone understands what these dishes are. Especially the abbreviations?

F-i-l : family in law.
Se noyer: to drown which makes it a French name for the dish…
….Affogato: vanilla ice cream in an espresso, although in Italiy it’s a dessert, over here they serve it often in the coffee shops
CB&TL: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Starbucks competitor, they have a quite good New York cheesecake, their muffins are too dry.
Rum raisin: a type of ice cream flavor which is often hard to find and without the use of real rum

My own version of a pirogue, a filled shortcrust pie. it’s rather similar to the Russian coulibiac with salmon but instead of spinach and boiled eggs I use leek. Which gives a bit more bitter taste.

This looks really tasty! At first I thought it was stuffed squash because of the orange color! Well done!

orange color

Turmeric is a great natural colorant.

I was so fed up it was sold out (again) with the usual “habis / kosong”. Which was in a tiny ice cream parlor in Glodok (Chinatown Jakarta) where I’m a regular customer. So I decided I would start making it myself.

Same for me.
Another one is Mystère...

Looks good! But Nestle is another big Dutch corporation that doesn't really care about exploiting Natural resources around the Planet, or use tons of artificial ingredients in their products! Fake Food for Profit!

 

[jstar]

Nestlé is Swiss.

And are we really going to vent about multinationals here? Which do have programs aimed at 3rd world countries btw.

 

[jstar]

About that mirengue; a good reason why I got myself a stand mixer at the time. A hand mixer will do but it makes life so much easier, esp. when whipping egg whites is involved

I prefer the Italian meringue over the French and Swiss versions btw.

Perhaps it’s time again for a tarte au citron meringuée (lemon pie with meringue on top), that is not too sweet.

OOPS. My bad, Ok it's a Swiss corporation! Do you really think they are making program for the betterment of 3rd. World countries?

How about lab grown meat for dinner? It can now go on the menu in Australia and New Zealand as it has been deemed suitable for consumption by the regulatory food standards body. By the time it becomes a mass product it may be served by your personal AI robot.

Interesting times.

'Lab-grown meat' approved for sale in Australia. Will people eat it?

Regulators approve a product grown from animal cells in a factory setting, putting Australia among only a handful of countries around the world to have deemed it safe for sale, while several countries and US states have banned it. Will people be lining up to give it a taste?

This sounds like Star Trek? Just push a button and there you have your Steak and Martini out of the Machine. No Thanks! Maybe Elon and whoever wants to join him on the Trip to Mars, can enjoy such delicacies, since I think it will take some time to get there?

Today involves cleaning/clearing out the chest freezer- & then a batch cooking session- Lancashire hotpot (Indonesian style with goat not lamb) and mini quiches.
No pics yet, sorry. Probably won't be any because I can guarantee the quiches will vanish as soon as the come out of the oven- hopefully I have enough ingredients to make 2 dozen.

Yesterday had a pizza Cappriziosa at Barbarossa Sanur.
Excellent, well garnished, tasty and decent size.
Served on a black stone enbedded in a wooden slab. Infortunately they didn't warm up the black stone which would have kept the pizza warm, so as it was cold it was the pizza that transferred it's heat to the stone...
Left them a note.

This looks like a very delicious Pizza. From I can see, it looks like it has olives, artichoke hearts, prosciutto, cheeses, mushrooms. This obviously was designed by a Western Person. All those ingredients are imported, so this is probably not a cheap Pizza. I've been getting some local Pizza lately and it's a far cry from a work of Art like your Pizza. Mine had a nice fluffy crust, tomato sauce, which could have been ketchup, cheese, a few tiny pieces of chicken sausage, and a few pieces of mushroom. Basically it was Boring as Hell! So my point is, whoever is making the Pizza needs to be trained by a Westerner, and a problem is locals wouldn't want to pay for such fancy ingredients!
But Locals do like Pizza, so there is Hope!
