Been meaning to say, this looks awesome (now I've discovered what zucchini and scallions are :-P ) Have been experimenting with recipes since my chicken-keeping mother-in-law started giving us dozens of eggs and this looks like a great dish. Cheers!
And yes, sorry, I should have specified courgettes for you! :)
Scallions... do you call them green onions?
We watch a LOT of BBC America, mostly to watch Gordon Ramsay, so I have picked up some of your food vocabulary. :D The downside is, it's making me want to move to the UK (even though I know I would freeze to death). :/
LOL. Scallions are spring onions - that's the first time I'd heard the word, so cheers for that! The only other weird food translation I can think of offhand is egg plant, which is aubergine.
I don't know if I'm more surprised by the idea of Gordon Ramsay or British food making you want to move to the UK... :-P
Freeze to death? Ah, no it's a balmy 20C/70F ish this week. Mind you, this is meant to be the height of summer of course. :-)
Yes, the eggplant one is the only other one that came to mind with me as well. :D Although I must say your word makes more sense... who the heck thought up the word eggplant for that thing anyway?!
I think I just like watching Gordon travel throughout London as well as the countryside, talking about local food and visiting farms... since I have to cook so much, it's all fascinating to me. I can't imagine being able to buy meat that was slaughtered a few miles away... perhaps I am just a city girl!
You can keep your blood pudding though. ;)
I've also been watching The F Word, and there are often segments talking about nutrition that are really very interesting. I AM A FOOD NERD OKAY? :D
And hmm, let's see, it's about 95 degrees today. Breezy but HOT. It'll probably be 70 degrees mid-day in November!
