Jan 25, 2011: Sushi, chicken, and more chicken

Fusilli with tomato sauce

Today's Food Diary

Breakfast: Polenta porridge with banana and strawberry jam

Lunch: Sushi

Dinner: Pasta with tomato sauce, blackbean onion soup

Baking/sweets: small piece of chocolate, small amount of rolled oats and raisins

Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to take a photo of the sushi. The sushi selection comprised of salmon, prawn, egg and vege’s, accompanied by miso soup. Only two criticisms. The salmon sushi was slightly big for one mouthful but it didn’t fall apart when I took two bites. And the wasabi was a bit mild, I prefer wasabi’s with more kick.

Dinner was quick and easy, made using pasta sauce from yesterday.

Today's Random Rambling: Chicken Please

I feel really left out, I didn’t have chicken today. A number of blogs today featured chicken recipes. This seems a bit unusual since chicken is usually not the most popular protein. And then suddenly there is a plethora of chicken blogs. This didn’t happen last Tuesday so chicken is not associated with Tuesdays. Maybe 25^th of each month? Or maybe its got something to do with the stars?

Eat tori’s blog title “I feel like chicken tonight”, is followed by the following: “Really? Seriously. Does anyone ever say that? Lamb, yes. Steak, certainly. But a craving for chicken? Does anyone ever really feel like chicken?”

To answer eat tori, usually no, today yes.

And guess which protein is featured in my favourite blog today?

My Carolina Kitchen

This is my favourite today not because of chicken but the unusual recipe for chicken country captain ("ccc"), a southern classic.  CCC's line up of ingredients features curry powder, tomatoes, white wine, brandy and raisins. In case you were wondering, southern refers to US, not some part or parts of Asia. 

The dish is aptly named ccc since the captain must have traveled places, picking up flavours along the way and combining it at the end of the journey.

I have never tried curry powder matched with two alcohols, and finished with raisins, not in one dish anyway. I am sure it works fine, but it won’t be entering my pipeline as yet.
