The Farmers' Market dictates my weekends, because I buy so much tasty produce that simply must be used and eaten before it goes bad. Of course, that just means that Sunday is Cocktails N Cooking -- and how bad is that, really?
Today's projects:
Roasted Carrot and Onion soup with Ginger and White Pepper
Roasted Eggplant with Mustard Oil
Bengali 5-Spice (Panch Phoran) Fish
Sun-cured Lime Pickle with Chili and Ajwain (this one will take 15 days to cure)
Soonish-projects:
Tonic syrup. Yup -- screw you Schwepps, we're making our own.
Lemon bitters
Spice bitters
Something with the rue plant I just bought.
Cocktails we've had: 4. One, of course, requires mention:
Biter
1 part chartreuse
1 part lemon juice
2 parts gin
1 dash Pernod
Stir with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Repent your evil deeds, you filed-tooth fiend, and enjoy your resting place at Saltpans.
