Day 3 of self – quarantine. I’ve found relief in the Denver Post’s food section. The first thing I saw in the side column is “Making do With What You Have”. This stood out to me because in this time of an epidemic the hot […]
Mama’s Restaurant – or the restaurant that she was the sous chef is the Garden Pavilion. From the journal of my Mama whilst she was at the Garden Pavilion, there is everything from specials, to recipes, to interesting ideas that are one of a kind.
If we take a step back in time, we reach Grandma Jo’s Elbelskivers. Ebelskivers are miniature pancakes, made with a simple batter. It is best served with 4 different types of festive syrups – as Grandma Jo’s tradition has it! The pan in which these breakfast delights are made is a black, cast iron pan.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Lightly whisk together the yolks of the eggs, then the whisk in the milk and melted butter.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures, the batter should be lumpy.
Then, whip the egg whites in an automatic mixer, until frothy. The peaks should be gentle, not steep. Next, fold the whites into the Ebelskiver batter.
Cook in the cast iron skiber pan until golden brown all around, and cooked all the way through. Then, enjoy!!! 🙂
Thanksgiving appetizers included Deviled Eggs..( Fav eggs not for breakfast). Want to have this go crazy! Add cooked mushroom and onion to the egg mix. NOT FAV. It is good to know what i don’t like. I had to have 2 just to make sure. […]
How does sugar, orange juice, white vinegar, apple and fresh cranberries become a chunky sauce that is served with Turkey?
Coolness of winter brings forth winter breakfasts. One of my favs is Warm Steel cut oatmeal with cinnamon and apple. Some call this porridge, some still call it oatmeal. I call it sticking to by bones to keep me warm and full for the morning.
I have read Saveur email that listed their best porridge recipes from around the world (October 26th 2019). AROUND THE WORLD THE BEST!
The best includes Congee (chinese rice Porridge with meat or pickles and hard boiled egg), Vispipuuro (Finnish Whipped Porridge with Yogurt, Cream and tart wild highbush cranberry) , Pongala (sweet indian cocnut porridge) Filipino Rice Porridge with chicken and ginger, and Ollebrod – Danish Rye Bread Porridge. Interesting read and great picts.
reading this article – they are interesting recipes, mostly savory breakfasts. I still like mine on the sweet side.
What is your favorite egg dish for and perhaps not just for breakfast? One of my favs has become fresh soft poached egg with Chef Hugo Sauce. There is a little fresh thyme as garnish – as we all can use more time.
Heidi by Johana Spyri 1880 The Kettle soon began to bold, and meanwhile the old man held a large peice of cheese on a long iron fork over the fire, turning it round and round till it was toasted a nice golden yellow color on […]
On the road by Jack Kerouac
I really like the book Fictitious dishes. it is really a clever thought is to document memorable meals in literature. On the Road states “But i had to get going and stop moaning, so I picked up my bag , said so-long to the old hotel keeper and went to eat. I ate apple pie and ice cream – it was getting better as i got deeper into IOWA, the pie bigger, the ice cream richer.”
Sal Paradse and Dean Moriarty reckless adventurers are chronicled in On the Road. One of the places Jack Kerouac (the author) spend time was Denver Colorado. My thought is the Lodo hotel could be the Barth or the Oxford.
The Kerouac walk also goes around 21st and Larimer – to Coors Field, or to five points for jazz.. That being said, and to return to the beat novel culinary thread … the pie is bigger and ice cream ricer – the name changed of the city in my opionion is changed as part of creative writing. If jack would stroll the streets today – he would still find the ice cream richer and pie bigger in Denver.

A simple rule of thumb is drop a book, and gravity pulls it down. Well, what if it doesn’t fall? If this is the case, find your nearest astrophysicist and declare a cosmic emergency. Something interesting to think about and test. Test and question all […]
