[ambra]

But what kind of fish is it?

Looking forward to the blog! Your food is always SO creative and veg heavy!

[nikkib]

Great news - i was gutted your week got cut short, i drove my parents mad with my insistence to cook your ricotta gnochhi one night (they both reckon tehy don't like gnocchi - safe to say they are now converted!)

[Anna N]

Oh sure - you'll be cooking away and we'll be waiting for the server to come back on line! Sheesh. Oh well, anticipation is half the fun they tell me.

[Genkinaonna]

Welcome back, Soba! Can't wait to see what you're going to inspire the rest of us to make this week!

Pix explanations (from top to bottom)

Gyoza, at Minca

some duck dish at Sripraphai

random shot at Casa Mono

frying hushpuppies at one of the Big Apple BBQ Block Parties -- one of the more dangerous shots I've done because I was very close to bubbling oil

Greenhouse interior at Blue Hill Stone Barns

Pic of Momofuku Ko

Kitchen shot at BHSB

Cod, watermelon, pea shoots -- at Tailor. Taken the first month it opened

Pic of a building overlooking Astor Place and the Bowery

Goat cheese, polenta, black truffle -- at Knife + Fork

Spanish mackerel escabeche, chickweed salad (1 T. extra-virgin olive oil, 1 T. lemon juice, salt, pepper), black olive and scallion relish. Heidi said it was a give-away pic because that fits the "style", I guess, of pix that I shoot in my kitchen ... and if you look closely, my stove is in the background.

Thread will be up later.

Oh I so hope you are right!

[Blether]

If it's Dakki, Chivas Regal would be more like it.

Here is another sample of our next blogger's food:

[Peter the eater]

Acorn squash with walnuts? At work? Is that a Bic 7mm HB mechanical pencil?

[Blether]

Not Dakki, then. Dude's just a cack-handed amateur.

[heidih]

Just because I am the kid who tried to find the hidden Christmas presents I have to spill one more:

Acorn squash with walnuts? At work? Is that a Bic 7mm HB mechanical pencil?

Is that musical score paper?

[heidih]

I am pleased to announce EatNopales as our next eGullet Food Blogger starting this Saturday September 3rd. There is a possibility of an early start tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Hooray for EatNopales!!! And good for me to guess it on the first photo!

Yeah no kidding!

As to the pics... the Acorn Squash was actually stuffed with Mushrooms, Chorizo & Pipian Rojo (Red Pumpkin Seed Mole) and it was one style of a group of dishes called Ayomole *

The last picture was in Uxmal... I thought I was running in the ball court... a few minutes later I realized it was just a palatial courtyard of the building now dubbed the Nunnery (there is no real rhyme or reason to this name).... the ball court turned out to be quite small & in bad shape.

Ayomole.. is the Nahua word for Pumpkin / Squash Mole common throughout the present day indigenous towns & villages of what was Mesoamerica... i.e., Guerrero, Oaxaca etc.,

The name is really loose.. sometimes it refers to a Baked Squash / Pumpkin filled with Pipian, or cubes of Squash / Pumpkin floating in the sauce, or "tortillas" made of Pumpkin / Squash flesh with Masa or Plantain flesh, sometimes it refers to a Mole that is thickend with Squash / Pumpkin flesh and chiles.

[Peter the eater]

What a spectacular place to run. I had a feeling that place was Mayan, and shortly thereafter, another feeling that this must be a place of fascinating food.

[haresfur]

Really looking forward to this, especially if we learn about different mole (whatever the plural is).

[Genkinaonna]

So excited to follow along with this one! Bring on the food! Mexico is one of those places that I'd like to go and just spend a month eating...
