| On the Naming of Dishes, Part 4. | | 2008-08-10 15:33:00 | | It never ceases to amaze me – the sheer number of dishes named after clerical and other religious folk and the general religious life. Rather more than named after the local plumber or apothecary or doctor. The tradition is quite a few hundred years old, at least. Off the top of my head, there is La Varenne’s ‘Pie after the Cardinal’s Way’ in the mid-seventeenth century, and M. Menon a century later with Tenche au Pontiffe and Eggs à la Huguenotte (sometimes called Presbyterian Eggs), for starters. We have enjoyed some of them already on this blog – Pig White Monks Fashion, Nuns’ Cakes, Nuns’ Sighs, Macaroni à la Pontiffe, and Monastery Soup, for example. There are many more, and I have a couple up my sleeve for the near future. The more recent ones, from Britain in the nineteenth century – seem to be predominantly sweet puddings. There are many variations of the Curate’s pudding, My lady abesses’ pudding, and The novice’s pudding just to give you the idea | | By: The Old Foodie | | |
| | ‘Unusual Prune Dishes’ | | 2008-08-03 15:51:00 | | August 4 ... I came across a reference in a newspaper (American) from July 1925 of an ‘unusual cake’ which turned out to be an upside-down cake. The recipe suggested that any fruit could be used, but suggested pineapple because it produced a ‘novel effect’, and was also very wholesome. So, as I am always interested in ‘First Recipes For ….’ I am setting up the challenge to find the first upside-down cake. You are expected to participate. The best I have been able to do is one from March 1923, in the Syracuse Herald. There must be earlier versions, as newspaper recipe columns usually respond to readers queries and current fashions. This particular version from 1923 could arguably also have ‘a novel effect’ as it uses prunes (which are also at least as wholesome as pineapple, surely?). It appeared in a recipe column headed ‘Unusual Prune Dishes.' Upside-Down Cake.Wash and soak the prunes in warm water for several hours: drain and remove pits; beat one | | By: The Old Foodie | | |

| On the Naming of Dishes, Part 3. | | 2008-07-24 14:26:00 | | July 25 ...My story on Matrimonial Cake the other day prompted a reader to ‘come out of lurkdom’ with a lovely alternative idea about the name of the dish. Laurie said ‘According to some sources, they're supposed to be a metaphor for marriage because they have a rough top but a sweet filling and a firm base.’ Thankyou Laurie! I am reminded of other dishes with a ‘paired’ ingredients. I remember ‘blanks and prizes’ (broad beans and bacon), and thought of ‘thunder and lightning’ (black treacle and clotted cream) – which hardly need recipes. The I came across this. Siamese Twins.Prepare some choux paste, and put it into a forcing bag with a plain pipe. Force it out in two rounds, each about the size of a walnut, join the two together, brush over with whole beaten-up egg, and bake in a moderate oven for about half an hour; they should then be a pretty golden colour. When baked, put them aside till cold, then glaze over with a maraschino glacé. When thi | | By: The Old Foodie | | |
| | Kate Perry dishes dating advice.. | | 2008-07-20 08:43:00 | | We love her style, and obviously her songs. "I kissed a girl" has been blasting on radio's and mp3 players all over the world. The somewhat controversial singer has a wardrobe all vintage lovers would die for.. so of course we want to know more about her haha, even if it involves advice about being a "playerette".Katy Perry talks to Blender Mag on “How to Date 4 Guys at Once.” 1. HAVE A BOY IN EVERY PORT“As a sophisticated woman, you should have business in both Los Angeles and New York, and summer in Paris. You can’t just take an L.A. guy to Paris and expect him to know what the 6th arrondissement is. He would just take you directly to the Eiffel Tower with the rest of the tourists.” 2. STICK TO A TIGHT SCHEDULE“Guys like to surprise you. Girls don’t like surprises. Which is why a precise calendar is important if you’re going to be an international player. You’ll need it color-coded. If you do get surprised, just let the other one out the back door. Always have a ba | | By: ~*Come Share My Fashion Addictions*~ | | |
| | On the naming of dishes, Part 2. | | 2008-07-15 16:01:00 | | July 16 ... Global citizens that we are, connected to everyone, everywhere, 24/7, it is almost impossible to imagine what life was like in the days when the circle only stretched to your immediate community. For most folk, for most of history, the circle was as far as you could walk in the course of your daily work. For some folk, who could read, knowledge of the wider circle could come from books (and newspapers), depending on which were available. There is a delightful point in the diary of the eighteenth century country Parson James Woodforde (who we have met many times before in this blog) when he has sent ‘the boy’ into the big town on an errand. The boy brings the newspaper back to the village – the news by now days to weeks old. The good parson notes briefly in his diary the news about some sort of kerfuffle in France (i.e the beginnings of the Revolution) – the brief note given perspective by appearing in the midst of great detail about the vitally importan | | By: The Old Foodie | | |

| On the naming of dishes. | | 2008-07-14 15:14:00 | | July 15 ... As an extension to yesterday’s theme, I am also constantly amused and intrigued by the naming of individual dishes. This one, for an eighteenth century example. Spread-Eagle Pudding.Cut the Crust off three stale Halfpenny Rolls, and slice them into a Pan; then set three Pints of Milk on the Fire, making it scalding hot, but not to boil; pour it over the Bread, cover it close, and let it stand an Hour; sweeten it with Sugar, add a very little Salt, a Nutmeg grated, a Pound of shred Sewet, half a Pound of Currants, half a Pint of cold mlk, ten Yolks and five Whites of Eggs; stir it well, butter your Dish, and bake it half an Hour. This particular example appears in Richard Bradley’s The country housewife, and lady’s director, published in 1762, but it can also be found word for word (as was the habit at the time) in many other eighteenth century coobooks. How did a fairly simple variation on the theme of bread pudding get a name like this? A ‘spread ea | | By: The Old Foodie | | |
| | Kim Kardashian dishes beauty advice | | 2008-07-14 08:17:00 | | I just found out that Kim Kardashian has her own blog now. I've visited her site before but never realized she personally updated. I'm way more impressed by this then the DASH online store to be honest. .I love her make up- specially now that she has decided to tone down the make up- and there seems to be some really useful tips on the blog e.g. "how to get hot hair." She answers fans questions, updates on her sisters, life, rumors, etc. Not bad at all! =)Another interesting tidbit I read is that she, her mom and sibling have been using "Revitalash." (the darn thing does cost $150 though!)Ruby asks:Kim, do you where eye lash extensions? I am so amazed by how long and perfect your eye lashes always appear... not to mention that both your sisters and mom also have the same perfect look.No, I do not wear eyelash extensions, Ruby. But just started using an eyelash grower called Revitalash. It's amazing! It makes your eyelashes grow soooo much!

| | Henri Does the Dishes | | 2008-06-11 05:49:08 | | (Here is The Audio Version by Audio Acrobat:) Once upon a time there was a horse named Henri.Henri used to live with his family, but he moved into his own stable after he finished school. At first Henri didn’t know how to take care of his own stable. It seemed like every day when he would come back from the fields, there was more work for him waiting to be done at his stable. Since there were no other family members at his stable to help out, Henri just learned how to take care of his own stable as time went along. At first Henri was stubborn. When he would get home from the fields and see how dirty his stable was, he would feel like there was too much to do so he just wouldn’t do anything. He would just eat some food, take a bath, and go to bed. Every day when he would get back from the fields he would do the same thing. After a few days, Henri noticed that his stable was extra dirty. He had taken a bath each night, and kept himself clean; but he hadn’t done anything to keep h | | By: Story Time Online | | |

| | | | Tootoo gets what he dishes out | | 2007-10-12 22:47:00 | | Yesterday Jordin Tootoo threw an elbow at a Coyote player and then Craig Weller went after him and clotheslined him. Tootoo stayed down on the ice and it looked like Weller wanted to pound his ass, but didn't because he was down and stayed there. So what Tootoo usually does to people now happens to him. Sometimes you get what you dish out and Tootoo surely did last night. Watch the YouTube video below. | | By: NHL Hockey Fights | | |
| | Ace-High Dishes. | | 2007-10-03 21:42:00 | | Today October 4th … Amelia Earhart is one of the world’s most famous missing persons. The female flying ace disappeared on an attempted round the world flight in July 1937, and theories abound as to the cause of her disappearance. Amelia was a staunch supporter of women’s rights, but did not feel this was a barrier to at times making her own clothes, or endorsing a line of fashionable womens’ clothing (bra-burning feminists came much later). According to a magazine article dated this day in 1936 she could also cook. The article was called “Ace-High Dishes”: here is an extract. “At home when she has time she can set before you tempting dishes cooked by her own competent hands. …. She makes especially good fudge. Or get yourself invited to one of the Sunday night suppers she prepares. Then you will realise that honors in the kitchen as well as in the air, might be bestowed on Amelia Earhart, the comely daughter of the Middle West, who was destined to become America’s heroine of the year. “Speaking of desserts,” Amelia’s husband interpolates, “I might say that my own infantile preference for chocolate cornstarch is responsible for the frequent appearance of that, to me, delectable dish. There’s probably been more chocolate cornstarch on our table than on any other table in the world. We like rice, too, served with cream and sugar. And baked bananas stand high in our favour, sometimes as dessert and sometimes as an accompaniment.” The article did not give recipes for her fudge or the chocolate cornstarch, but it did give this recipe: Sour-Cream Waffles.If you like crisp waffles that will hold their crispness, here is a recipe which should prove satisfactory.2 cups sifted flour1 teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon salt1 tablespoon sugar2 eggs, separated2 cups sour, heavy creamMix and sift dry ingredients. Combine well-beaten egg yolks and cream; add to the flour mixture, beating until smooth. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in hot waffle iron. Approximate yield: 5 waffles.

I love cup which comes even with a handle.
The Orikaso Picnic/Dinner Set slip nicely into your backpack, taking up no space (an entire set occupies a space less than 1 cm thick) and weighing next to nothing, chop your cheese, prepare fresh salad, enjoy a nice cuppa. The Orikaso is great for backpackers and fast packers wanting to lighten their load.

| | Never Existed in Italy for Italian Dishes: Spaghet... | | 2006-07-15 12:52:00 | | Never Existed in Italy for Italian Dishes: Spaghetti & Meatballs, Parmigiano, Subs and grinders stuffed Fettuccine All'AlfredoThere is nothing like pouring a bucket of cream, along with cream cheese into a pot along with 6 strong lumps of garlic then adding in some pumpkin pie spices like nutmeg; to create an Italian food ....Alfredo's sauce wasn't really a sauce, but a familiar & simple invention made of melted butter & parmigiano-- Alfredo opened the first restuarant in Rome. Recipes that mimick Italian ones are nothing similar, they went wrong when they started to overdress foods, and over spice them. True Italian recipes will bring you back to simplicity.
