From a while ago – cooked some dal and some pilau rice. The dal was very good that day; I think it’s because I put more ginger than usual. Or maybe it’s for some other reason. The rice was good and I blogged the recipe.
Summer is almost here. In fact, in Southern California, I think summer is already here as the sky is blue and the sun has been coming out to play.
I absolutely love summer. Summer time is my favorite time of year as the warmth of the sun embraces my body as I say goodbye to pasty skin, frumpy winter clothing, and greet a big hello to sandals and sun dresses! Summer also means party time: barbeque by the pool, picnics by the sea, road trips up and down the California coast, and eating (and drinking) with friends. Summer is pure bliss and happiness!
This year, I plan to share a series of fun, delicious, yet simple summer recipes with you. I have a brand new KitchenAid grill sitting in my patio so I can foresee a lot of casual al fresco dining this summer. To kick start the series (I know it’s not officially summer yet, but I just canât wait), I made this utterly delightful beer steamed mussels that transports me back to south of France.
This dish is very similar to Moules Marinière, which is made with white wine but I find beer to be a great (and much convenient) substitute. The slight bitterness of the beer is offset by the briny sweet taste of fresh mussels and the end result is a mussel pot that you can serve throughout summer.
Asi se queda finalmente. El disco central es del mismo diametro del fondo (12cm) y esta a unos 5 cm de este. Para obtener una luz mas difusa, el zoom del flash lo tengo puesto al maximo (105mm
