Asparagus, growing in the field this morning, steamed and on my plate this evening. Dipping sauce made from a mixture of plain yogurt, sour cream, using up what's left actually, and a spoonful of mayonnaise. And after I tasted, I decided it needed a little something, and added a pinch of baharat, that wonderful spice mixture I made recently. I really recommend this one. Just lovely. Nice glass of wine with, of course.
I think I might share pinches of baharat with my Bite Club next month. Aside from anything I might cook.
True confessions: despite my very modest income and froogle ways, there are times when you just need to buy something. And when I found I'd used up all my collection of bookmarks marking items in Jerusalem and now Plenty, same authors, I decided I needed to own these two books. So they're on their way. Then I can write in them. Even scanning and printing was going to mean many pages, silly really, better just buy the book and let them have their royalty.
Good to treat yourself sometimes. I've been humming and hawing as to which one of the several books by these guys should I buy. Meanwhile looking at my download which is restricted as to copying so not ideal except for checking content. Need a cookbook in my hand.
