“Pizza
Bianca” with Mushrooms & Black Garlic
Secret
Red
In the fridge today was a small dish of
leftover Alfredo Sauce, 2 mushrooms and half a pizza base. Lunch was immediately obvious ...
See here for Alfredo Sauce recipe (used in a similar way!) – I just
spread the cold sauce on the base and topped with the mushrooms, coarsely chopped black garlic, grated Gran Padano and coarsely ground black pepper. Talk about Lunch!
Speaking of which yesterday my friend Carol
and I partook of lunch at St. Petroc’s Bistro – one of Rick Stein’s many
eateries in Padstow. It was a special
menu to raise money for Save the Children.
Seafood
Soup
Baked
Cod with Garlic
Orange
Tart with Crème Fraîche
Carol had …
Smoked
Trout with Horseradish Cream
Seafood
Thermidore
Panna
Cotta with Poached Rhubarb and a (perfect) Shortbread
It was both good value and delicious with excellent friendly service but I do have a small demur - it was a
very, very, very, very garlicky meal.
Not only was the cod topped with whole garlic cloves but the dish of
perfectly cooked cabbage served with the meal was at least 25% al dente slices
of garlic. Now I don’t mind a bit of
garlic, me, but my real man was appalled when he got home and had to feed me
humbugs throughout the evening to try and clear the air!
Periodic Tables – oddly enough!
I have seen a few unusual periodic tables
on the net recently;
- The Periodic Table of Desserts – “A Scientific and Rigorous approach to patisserie”!,
- The Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad
- The useful Periodic Table of Produce – showing storage info
- ... and lots here
... simple yet effective.

Oh, now that's my kind of periodic table. LOL Gosh, that much garlic would have put me under the table, scratching like a dog with fleas. Garlic does that to me, you see!
I know it's good for you, but that much can't be good for everyone around you. :)
