Ah in that is the bread’s secret, it embodies the warmth and strength of the feminine in every curve and every slice. And, just as the energy, it flows with dish you fancy, from a simple toast, to a buttered side to an indulgent bread pudding. Ooh La La!

Not too Tall to Fall!

That photo was taken literally moments before, well, Atlas shrugged.....! For reference, check last photo of post. One thing I have been confident of, perhaps a little too much, was being able to get that 'money shot' on the go... By that I mean winging it, setting things up on the fly, scrambling to get the shot before hell breaks loose and really testing the limits. I don't always do this on purpose. By that I mean, I am not lazy; it mostly is a culmination of circumstances - tight spaces, too many things to shoot, not planning ahead, not having the space and time for an advanced style set up and certainly no room between window and sink for camera, tripod and photographer (me)!

The Three Ingredient Magic....!
Voila! Here you have it! Three ingredient bread for souls like me who can't eat gluten, and, for everyone else who can because it is bloody awesome. Sweet potato, almond flour, egg. That's it. Simple. Clean. Delicious. I was vindicated. I showed the world. I came out on top again. Bah to all the bread. I got my own sandwich now bey****!

Punch it!

Sometimes you have to take a risk! So, I took a risk. I made myself this sandwich with a fish that I can't say I love. So, I am taking a risk. In posting photos of a whole fried fish, in all its possibly repulsive possible awe-inspiring glory. The first time in tasting was a worthy risk. This one, in posting, you tell me...! :)
I chose Sardine. I have said it before, they are not my favorite fish to eat as is, because of their rather pungent flavor; Like chicken liver. Actually, exactly like chicken liver!! I just had an Epiphany as I was typing this! That is probably why I like both of them in pates diluted with large amounts of butter and masking spices! Give me the fat and smooth spread without the stick-in-my-palate flavor.
Long story short, it was a success, which, is why it is here. What I found was that....

Blue Cheese and Buttered Pear Ice Cream
in Dessert, breakfast, Food & Drink
Oh yes! It's ice cream season. Well, is not that what Memorial Day is all about? The subtle signal that Summer is here and now?! Speaking of which, hope you all had a great long weekend. We in the US, don't have nearly enough long weekends. So, we may as well make the most of it. As to me, I jetted off to wet and hot Austin from Spring rebound NYC. I am still there. So when I am back I will have some nice photos of water dripping from awnings! :)
In the meantime, let me tell you about this ice cream. Blue Cheese Ice Cream. Because, it blew my mind! Ever since a little Italian gelataria opened by me, I have been fascinated with savory ice creams. They make an amazing olive oil one that is served with the charcuterie platter. Divine. And, yes, that is where my inspiration for this came about.
