sshhh! Don't Tell-Anchovies and Pizza

 

I love anchovies and sneak into them into many of our favorite dishes in the form of paste, fish sauce or the whole filets. (whenever I am feeling particularly mean.)

Living in a "NO ANCHOVY" zone like I do-I have learned to be pretty discreet. I don't rush to disclose every ingredient when the "delicious-ness" of a particular dish is heralded!

Last night was a perfect example. . . I decided to make pizza. Since I hadn't planned homemade pizza for dinner I didn't have much on hand in the way of toppings. I did have a can of black olives and had every intention of using them. There was also a cooked sweet sausage, grape tomatoes and Vidalia onion.

But at the last moment I remembered a cupboard-full of anchovie-stuffed green olives from Spain and thought it would make for an interesting experiment. . .if I could keep my mouth shut.

I tried not to pay too much attention to Ron's first bite-knowing that things could go either way. I didn't even watch.

"Hmmmmm" he said. I rest my case!

very funny - I do that with mushrooms - I let them dry and then I grind them into powder and mix it into things - no one is the wiser!

we have to be so sneaky! Ron read the blog today and laughed.

I buy dried porcini powder because I love the meaty taste they add to dishes.

Sweet Potato Cheesecake

Image
        This big ole sweet potato kept following me around the kitchen. I would move it and there it would be-just staring back at me. So, I decided to cook it. Not to be mean-but I didn't know what else to do. There it was. . . all steamy in the bowl And then it occurred to me that I would honor the sweet potato by incorporating it into a tasty dessert. I poked my head around a little in the refrigerator and there sat a big container of ricotta and homemade peach syrup. Things were looking up. I continued opening cabinets to see what was on hand-rather than sending my runner out to the grocery store. I found a container of blanched almonds and pretzel rods. Interesting. . . I got me a big bowl, my whisk and starting creating. Every once in a while you just get lucky. And if ever there was a time to get lucky this was it. In the South, we like our sweet potatoes! What I ended up with was a perfectly dense ricotta "cheesecake" with a hidden layer of blanched almon

California Sourdough Bread

Image
I found this recipe in one of my favorite chef cookbooks. The recipe is made over a couple of days and calls for starter made from potato water. I had just made up a batch of potato starter-but with potatoes and the potato water, so, that was the first substitution I made. I also switched one cup of the required bread flour for a cup of Italian flour. The results were wonderful. As you can see there is a golden crust around the entire bread but instead of a typical chewy sourdough crust this was a little more crispy. . .like German brotchen. The recipe called for spritzing the dough with water before putting into the oven-which I did-but I also placed a small glass bowl with water in the oven-occasionally pouring water on the floor of the oven to create steam. My husband told me he loved me as he ate his hot-from-the-oven bread! I wanted to share a photo of the inspiration behind all the sudden interest in bread baking.  My friend, Char Fontane gave this to me for Christmas the ye
