TongaTom you will be proud of me. I cooked a vegetarian meal for my girlfriend's daughter, who like you, is a pescetarian. Falafel sandwiches - falafel, spinach, tomatoes, bell pepper, and tahini dressing on pita bread. I generally try to avoid foods with the phonetic "awful" in them but the falafel were surprisingly good

Yay MadDog! Now I want a falafel.

Saw your photo
How the Hell did you secure the plate to the green wall?
And how does the food stay on the plate?

Food non sequitur of the day. When life hands you Japanese Bunapi Mushrooms, you make... Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches?
Yep

It was good. The bunapi 'shrooms have a bit of an off taste raw, vaguely like ammonia. But it disappears when they are cooked.

For this chilly night I baked a “Clafoutis”. It’s best served warm and is perfect with a hot coffee cocktail. You can use almost any fruit but a traditional french clafoutis is made with black/dark cherries. Made with any other fruit it’s properly called “Flaugnarde”. This one was made using strawberries (my favorite). Clafoutis or Flaugnarde-my family loves em! Ridiculously easy to prepare.
I will post the recipe at the slightest urging.
Cheers

Lance, you’re so pushy!
Here it is;
1/2 tea. butter*
8 oz. berries
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup granulated sugar (I use less)
3 lrg eggs
1 cup milk
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
powered sugar (optional
Set oven at 350
Grease a 2 qt. baking dish with the butter.
Toss berries around in cornstarch and place in greased baking dish cut side down.
IN YOUR BLENDER;
Whirl flour,eggs,,milk, sugar,and salt for 14 seconds.
pour slowly over berries so that berries remain evenly distributed.
Bake for 22 minutes.Add more time as necessary until clafoutis is set and a light golden brown.
MY TIPS;
Best served warm
Dust with powdered sugar (optional) I prefer a dollop of fresh whipped cream ( just a little sugar added to the cream)
I start checking the oven at 20 minutes and go from there.
Use cherries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or my 2nd personal fav, raspberries. A mix of several berries might be really good for the taste buds as well as the eyes.
I think fresh apricots would be outstanding but I always forget and the season for apricots is much too short.
* I just pinch a small gob of butter with a paper towel and smear up that baking dish.
2nd time you make this you’ll be amazed at how quick and easy it is.
Looks elegant on nice dishware. Let me know how it works for you

Should you wear rubber gloves when working with "powered sugar" David?
I only bring this up because of all the "Holiday Casualties"
caused by the improper use of "powered sugar"
I just couldn't resist & a  to you my friend
thanks for posting the recipe & Happy Holidaze!
