Le città e il nome. 3.
A lungo Pirra è stata per me una città incastellata sulle pendici d’un golfo, con finestre alte e torri, chiusa come una coppa, con al centro una piazza profonda come un pozzo e con un pozzo al centro. Non l’avevo mai vista. Era una delle tante città dove non sono mai arrivato, che m’immagino soltanto attraverso il nome: Eufrasia, Odile, Margara, Getullia. Pirra aveva il suo posto in mezzo a loro, diversa da ognuna di loro, come ognuna di loro inconfondibile agli occhi della mente. Venne il giorno in cui i miei viaggi mi portarono a Pirra. Appena vi misi piede tutto quello che immaginavo era dimenticato; Pirra era diventata ciò che è Pirra; e io credevo d’aver sempre saputo che il mare non è in vista della città, nascosto da una duna della costa bassa e ondulata; che le vie corrono lunghe e diritte; che le case sono raggruppate a intervalli, non alte, e le separano spiazzi di depositi di legname e segherie; che il vento muove le girandole delle pompe idrauliche. Da quel momento in poi il nome Pirra richiama alla mia mente questa vista, questa luce, questo ronzio, quest’aria in cui vola una polvere giallina: è evidente che significa e non poteva significare altro che questo.
La mia mente continua a contenere un gran numero di città che non ho visto né vedrò, nomi che portano con sé una figura o frammento o barbaglio di figura immaginata: Getullia, Odile, Eufrasia, Margara. Anche la città alta sul golfo è sempre là, con la piazza chiusa intorno al pozzo, ma non posso piú chiamarla con un nome, né ricordare come potevo darle un nome che significa tutt’altro.

Cumin's a "Morkie" (a hybrid of Maltese and Yorkie) who is our PANDEMIC PUPPY- now 2 years old, highly intelligent,
and "a Good Boy"...who is playful & energetic beyond belief.
Also- highly tactile-
a great "cuddler" + snuggle-bunny!
Macro Mondays theme: Smell
Grinding up some Nigella sativa (black cumin) seeds for a sprouted green lentil chili produced a wonderfully pungent fragrance. The chili was delicious but in looking up the information for this photo I discovered that the seeds should have probably been dry roasted first. Live and learn.

INGREDIENTS:
1 can (13.5 oz) unsweetened coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
1 bag (1 lb) frozen sliced carrots, thawed, drained (about 4 cups)
1 bag (1 lb) frozen cauliflower florets, thawed, drained (about 5 cups)
1 can (15.8 oz) black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed
1 serrano chile, seeded, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
Chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
Lime wedges, if desired
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In 2-quart saucepan, stir 1 cup of the coconut milk, the water, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the rice. Heat to boiling over high heat. Stir; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; fluff rice with fork.
3. In large bowl, stir carrots, cauliflower, peas, chile, oil, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the garam masala. Stir in cooked rice and remaining coconut milk until well blended. Spoon into baking dish.
4. Cover; bake 40 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Garnish with cilantro; squeeze lime juice over top.
Garam masala is a traditional Indian spice blend often consisting of as many as 12 spices, including coriander, black pepper, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon.
Be sure to use plastic gloves when seeding and chopping the chile. Its essential oils can burn if you use your hands and then touch your face. If you’d like extra heat, don’t remove all of the seeds…or try using 2 serranos!
In her gently manipulative, non-aggressive way, Cumin encouraged Miss Raven to vacate the box so she could assume squatter's rights.

Le città e gli occhi. 3.
Dopo aver marciato sette giorni attraverso boscaglie, chi va a Bauci non riesce a vederla ed è arrivato. I sottili trampoli che s’alzano dal suolo a gran distanza l’uno dall’altro e si perdono sopra le nubi sostengono la città. Ci si sale con scalette. A terra gli abitanti si mostrano di rado: hanno già tutto l’occorrente lassú e preferiscono non scendere. Nulla della città tocca il suolo tranne quelle lunghe gambe da fenicottero a cui si appoggia e, nelle giornate luminose, un’ombra traforata e angolosa che si disegna sul fogliame.
Tre ipotesi si dànno sugli abitanti di Bauci: che odino la Terra; che la rispettino al punto d’evitare ogni contatto; che la amino com’era prima di loro e con cannocchiali e telescopi puntati in giú non si stanchino di passarla in rassegna, foglia a foglia, sasso a sasso, formica per formica, contemplando affascinati la propria assenza.

For Macro Monday: A spoonful
Purée maison courgettes-aubergines au cumin et filet de poulet aux épices Kénitra. Un délice dévoré et apprécié par toute la famille, Frifri inclus.
Taken for Macro Monday seeds theme. Coriander, fennel, cumin, red and green chilli seeds and cardamom pods broken open, all sitting on a bed of curry powder in front of a small china bowl.
Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin) surrounds its amazing blossoms with an airy and elegant array of dill-like "leaves." This one, another first for the season, was at the Smith Botanic Gardens at sunset yesterday.
Today's exploration took Cumin to
Hyde Park's infamous Promontory Point,
hook shaped spot of land that i've been finding pleasure in
since I was a wee lad of 15/16 years.
The key to great chili con carne is time cooking and fresh ingredients. The more substitutions and less time quality is lessened. Still tastes great.Mexican-American is one of my favorite foods. Posted an easy-to-read webpage on Blogger with this recipe.
Chili Con Carne Recipes - Template:
Ingredients:
- One pound of dried beans (prepared: see below)
- One pound of meat (cooked and drained)
- One half pound of sausage (cooked and drained)
- One large onion (diced)
- One package of chili spice mix (cumin, red pepper, chili powder, cornstarch) it is easier to just use the package - I still haven't perfected my own mix.
- Bell pepper ( diced; green, yellow, red: any combination)
- Thirty two ounce can of diced stewed tomatoes
- Chile peppers to taste (diced; quantity; scoville scale)
- Sixteen ounce can of corn
- Two tablespoons of garlic powder
- Two tablespoons of white vinegar
- One quarter of a cup of brown sugar
-
Dried beans preparation: over-night process
1. Sort through beans for any debris. Rinse two to three times until water is clear.
2. In the pot, cover clean beans with water and bring to a rapid boil for one hour; keep the beans covered with water. Turn off the heat.
3. Let the beans soak until cool. Rinse two to three times until water is clear. This removes the un-digestible sugars.
4. In the pot, cover clean beans with fresh water. The beans will absorb water as they soak, so to ensure they stay covered with water, add an abundance.
5. Soak them over-night.
Preparation:
1. Rinse the prepared beans. Add the diced onion, diced tomatoes, and corn.
2. To the mixture, add enough water to cover the beans and bring to a boil. A portion at a time (so the powder will not lump), add the spice mix package, add the brown sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder while the water begins to boil.
3. When the onions are transparent, add the bell peppers and chile peppers (to taste). Add the prepared meats.
4. Cook until the onions are no longer visible, the peppers are tender, and the sauce has thickened.
5. To test the readiness of the beans, spoon some out and blow on them. The beans are cooked if the skin splits.
When the chili con carne is cooked to satisfaction munch down. Can garnish with diced spring onions, white onions, cheese, homemade salse, and the list goes on according to personal preference. (Ripe diced black olives. Not Green.)
This is as clear and concise as the recipe has gotten so far. It is in progress. Follow the basic guidelines and remember your own taste preferences. I have been known to add eight habanero peppers because that was my taste at that moment.
۞ رمضان مبارک ۞ ~ رمضان كريم ۞
~ A traditional desi dish often served at iftar~breaking the fast: dumplings made from urad dhal (boiled and dried lentils), shaped into discs, then deep fried, soaked in water to soften, and finally served in fresh yoghurt. Sprinkle on roasted crushed coriander seeds~dhaniya and cumin~zeera, and garnished with fresh mint. We also served sweet tamarind~imli sauce. YUM! Accompanying the iftari this day was homemade banana milkshake, fresh fruit salad, samosas and spring rolls. (Pics coming soon!)
