Hi Diane,
Never heard of coriander leaves being called cilantro till a farm market cash register receipt listed the
purchase of some that way. Thought it was a mistake. Looked it up to find out it wasn't. Never
have I seen an eggplant sold as an aubergine here. Bet that the late Julia Child (an iconic French
cooking TV show person who a movie has been made about) referred to eggplant as aubergine.
(The Italian name for eggplant is slang for those of darker skin hue.) I like your sauce recipe, but
don't forget the olive oil.
Depending on preference, you can also add some green peppers,
black pepper, mushrooms, hot sauce/red pepper flakes. Rosemary is better suited to those potatoes
than a sauce -- with you there. Prawns confuse lots of people here. Sometimes they mean
shrimp which are similar to prawns (there's some anatomical distinction that some people
use to make a distinction between prawns and shrimp, but others don't. Wiki says something
about this distinction being present or not based partially on geographical location. Probably
analogous to the use of turtle or tortoise when referring to those kinds of reptiles, but
with anatomy substituted for whether the animal is land or water dwelling.) Oh yeah,
back to the shrimp (or prawn), the boil is when they are cooked in this particular mixture of
herbs and lots of salt. Not my favorite way to prepare shrimp, but that mixture works better,
in my opinion, for other dishes -- those oven baked potatoes, vegetables and some things
with legs.
Bring the whiskey. Blueberry wine sounds good too.
That we hadn't seen the river line previously is probably what helped make "Reason to Believe"
a good song to us. Bruce's magician's hiden guylines weren't visible, previously here. The zen
was in the experience, more than in the detection. Much zen like experience to you this
weekend.
