What's the most delicious thing you've eaten today (2006-)


Recommended Posts

For me, it was hearts of freshly-cooked artichokes, stuffed with mashed potatoes that had been steamed with garlic, then beaten with salt, pepper, and lots of olive oil. The taste of that simple dish is haunting me.

The first homegrown zucchini of the season. It's weeks early, I just sauteed it in a little olive oil and garlic, salt and pepper, finished with a nice fruity olive oil. Absolutely delicious.

I love it when this topic is revived.

Today for me it was very sweet corn on the cob, with sea salt, and dripping with good butter.

(Yetty, why haven't you been eating much lately? :huh::unsure::sad: ...hope you're OK.)

I stopped at a little farm stand today and brought home Silver King sweet corn, beets, new potatoes and tomatoes. Drenched the first three in butter, freshly ground pepper and sea salt, laid a slice of tomato on a grilled hamburger and topped it with mayo. I'd be hard pressed to pick one thing, but that was the best corn I've had in years.

A couple of bites of the best warm apple pie with French Vanilla ice cream and Caramel sauce I've ever tasted at my night job.

The garde manger accidentally overbrowned the top of a big honking slab of pie meant for a customer and had to start over. The staff were the recipients of his mistake. The chef said he'd marry our pastry chef just for her apple pie. I told him I was certain he wasn't the first man to say that! :biggrin:

Ruth, what is Silver King corn? I love Silver Queen (which I can't find grown here), and my husband is getting ready to make a quick trip up north. I might want to put that on the list. Silver Queen is already on the list. :smile:

A BLT - big slice of garden tomato, applewood smoked bacon, baby arugula, and mayo on soft bread. YUM

Yesterday...either the ika I had as part of my lunch, or the coconut sorbet after dinner.

Today--chocolate pistachio cannoli! They're supposed to be the dessert for our Sicilian dinner party, but I'm sneaking the filling already and it's wickedly good. :wub:

Pasteles!

For those who aren't familiar with these, they're the Puerto Rican version of a tamale, made with a starchy root dough (taro, green bananas, green plantain cooked together and mashed up), pork shoulder, olives & spices wrapped in banana leaves and parchment paper. They're popular with Puerto Rican families around Christmas time.

The first sour cherry pie of the season with my best pie crust ever. I got a new cherry pitter and tested my theory that the cherries would spray less if I positioned them such that the pit is pushed out at the stem scar. Wrong!! :blink:

Today, in the slanting autumn sun, I ate the very last of my cherry tomatoes. About a month ago a deer actually got up on to my freakin' deck and munched about half of my tomato plant and all of my late blooming white roses. -sigh- A very pissed off Snow-White was I. There is still a bit of green fruit that I will pickle ala Jackal10 but still...grr.

Steak with Anchovy is a not uncommon preparation- I have seen Steak Mirabeau many times.

If you like steak with anchovies, try it with nuoc cham.  It's the standard condiment for steak, prime rib, etc. at our house.  Lots of garlic is important.  :smile:

I love Lee & Perrin worchestershire sauce on my steaks, so I suppose that's like having anchovies on the steak :wink: How much do you put into the sauce, Ling?

Could you post the recipe for the Sicilian calamari? That looks great!

The most delicious thing I've eaten this morning is a mango muffin that I just pulled out of the oven. :smile:
