HP secret weapons



I just found out that this brand of electronic devices produces some of them with a secret feature:
whipped-cream-proof case.

Long time, no diet

The silence in the meantime didn't mean that Suppo went on a diet.
And even if he would, I would never tell him, he'd be desperate.
I'd just hope that he doesn't notice even when he actually IS on a diet.
To succeed in this, it requires a wonderful mastery of food camouflage.

Well, but Suppo WASN'T on a diet.

It's been hustle and bustle times,
Suppomom could be coeliac,
we're still searching what's up with her.

Too sad she can't rejoy with suppokitchen food.

Today, it's been pasta with leftover squids and leftover broccoli,
all fried in olive oil, chili pepper, garlic.

Too hungry to post it well now,
I'll try to do it later.

Suppo's fine!

Sweet Onion Red Pasta




Yes, it's a new recipe here on SuppoKitchen.
I had very few time to cook and this turned out to be a good choice.
I wanted pasta and I only had onions to flavour, but a regular tomato sauce pasta didn't appeal to me very much, and a white onion pasta seemed too simple and not filling.

Then it came to my mind that a great chef I know, Gérard Bellini, a man from Marseille that runs a cozy restaurant by the harbor in Macinaggio, makes a sweet tomato sauce for his Tortelli.
I don't know whether it's common to find a sweet tomato sauce in France, but that is.
I've always wondered HOW he makes his sweet sauce so strikingly good, and this time I may have made a very small step closer. Here's my pasta, it tasted very good and, moreover, it's very easy and fast.

Sweet Onion Red Pasta:

for approx. 3 people,
Pasta (better wide or that keeps sauce within anyway)
1 canned peeled tomatoes
1 onion (choose the one you like, yellow and white could be a good choice) (2 if you like onions)
1 hot red chilli pepper
1 pinch of salt
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 pinch of powdered cinnamon
1 pinch of powdered black pepper
2 spoons of extravirgin olive oil

Now, while you bring a pot of water to boil (yes, this has to be a FAST recipe!), heat the oil in a pan and brown the onion together with the red chilli. Depending on how hot you like it, put the chilli together or later.
when onion is brown, add tomatoes, then add the pinch of salt and the 2 tsp. of sugar, mix well.
Put the pasta in the pot if water's boiling.
If the sauce has begun to reduce, add the pinches of pepper and cinnamon. You may try some different spices, but these worked very well and I recommend ADDING more spices, if you want to try something different.
Well, nothing more, that's it!
You should not salt the water too much, if you want to preserve the "sweet attitude" of this dish.
You should also take the pasta from the water a little before it's ready and finish cooking in the pan with the sauce, after adding a pair of tbsp of boiling water.

Sorry for the bad picture, I'm usually crap at portraiting food, but at least, there is a pic.

unreleased footage of Suppo

...that dramatically increases the possibility that he may be regarded as a gluttonous instead of a foodie.
We'll see what he has to say in his defense.
If you can't see it moving, here's the link to the featured original on deviant: http://squarepuff.deviantart.com/art/Suppo-is-just-gluttonous-150264080

Experimenting a new kind of meal

Well, this is how we like to have meal lately.
It's so refreshing to find several things on the table and feel free to eat a bit from here, a bit from there, etc.
Not to mention that plain Japanese cooking is usually lactose free.

Food can be funny


Food certainly knows many ways to be funny. This blobby little orange treat is not chemically orange coloured, but is actually a very small cake made of orange liquor (Arancino), coated with sugar, chocolate and more orange liquor. But no fear, kids, soon the blobby monster will be no more.

Custard cream and Soy milk...

...as far as I know, you shouldn't mess them up together.
I tried twice to prepare custard cream out of soy milk, and the result wasn't great.
Suppo said it was good and licked through the pan, but I SUPPOse he's been very gluttonous this time.
If anyone succeeds in preparing a good custard cream with soy milk, please tell me!
I'll try rice milk next time, I bet it's better.
