'we're doing wonderful new things with burrito wraps'...
another lazy Sunday filled with football—both European and American, basketball and hockey, sandwiching laundry and the beginnings of what i hope to be the next great American recording. i have two guitars, a bass and the boy's keyboard laying about and a penchant of writing lyrics, so what the hell...
in the in-betweens i did my share of grazing...
after the mornings breakfast burrito of egg whites, onion, jalapeno, and cheddar, and a simple salad a few hours later, i through on some music and went to work on what is fast becoming signature—dal-curry. Yellow lentils, that i had pre-soaked from the last batch i cooked up, with tomatoes and carrot chopped in, cooked and combined with my curry spice, made from scratch—grape seed oil, garlic, half of green pepper (roasted), cumin, turmeric, coriander, fennel, mustard seed, cinnamon, and fresh ginger, with a little soy milk thrown in. Its starting to get pretty tasty...
after a bit i got to work on the evening's main course—falafel. Its not just for Friday's anymore...
a little prep—diced tomatoes and chopped watercress with some sesame tahini combined with a touch of garlic, lemon juice, water and salt and pepper...
then it was time to fry up my freshly made chick pea, onion, garlic, porter, soy milk flour paste seasoned with cumin, coriander, salt and pepper, balled into ovals and thrown into some hot-ass grape seed oil...
normally falafel is served in a pita. i find that pitas our too much bread for the goodness of falafel so i went another route...
voila—falafel burrito...
i added some cucumber for texture and moistness, all in all, a good time was had by all—and that would be me, myself and i. As for the soundtrack to today's events...
