you say tomato, i say tomato

a good tomato can do a lot for a sandwich.  and, it being summer, it was time to celebrate the great tomatoes we have... and, of course, we had to invite the avocado to the celebration.  chopsticks chimes in, "you can have your blt, i want my tomato and avocado sandwich."


and, what chopsticks says....


the menu (22july10):

• tomato & avocado sandwiches (yellow & heirloom tomatoes, avocado & mayonnaise)

a rat, a dog and a fish...

ratatouille.  


chopsticks looks up, "we've already seen that movie."  


ojp stops, "a friend for me, dad?!" 


no, not the movie.  and, no, ojp, we're not getting a rat for a friend.  i am going to play with the concept of ratatouille, however.   plus, chopsticks is craving fish.   let the experiment begin.


the menu (08july10):

• paprika dusted fish (pan sauted)
• ratatouille croquette
• avocado puree
• siracha oil drizzle
• potato chips (sliced red potatoes, home fried)

the croquette didn't stay together as well as i had hoped (add an egg next time, spoon), but the taste was spot on.  

ojp the dancer

"what are we doing with all this corn?" chopsticks says.  "we should definitely grill it."


yeah... but we've already done that...  and we still have plenty of other things around here.  ojp starts dancing.  thanks, ojp!  that's it... salsa.


the menu (21june10):

• grilled corn salsa
• chili lime shrimp tacos:  grilled tortillas and avocado
