Happy Birthday George

I read the 1st book of

The Invenyion of Hugo Cabret

, I can see why it won best children's book.

I got up this morning squose some more oranges,cleaned leeks, made a crumpet with my raspberry jam and desmalzed the chicken stock.

I'd also like to make some French onion soup but maybe I'll wait on that one. It actually ises beef stock.

There is this great market in Vancouver on Granville Island that has a shop that sells just stock. I love that market. I went every day just to look and buy stuff for meals. Wish we had one here.

In Oaxaca there was another interesting one. I was a bit freaked out by the rustic presentation. I saw one man very early pick up a steer out of a bloody pick up truck throw it over his bloody shoulder of his stained shirt with dirty hands and carry it into the market. There were blue corn tortillas though. Lots of fruit.

In Cozumel there was a juice shop that I went to every morning for o.j. or fresh grapefruit juice.

I don't like Mexican pastries though.

Hand made tortillas are not bad though. I've been educated, Here there are several "luncherias" that open at 5 and sell grilled tacos carne adada, pollo chorizo, carnitas and other things I's rather nor eat. They have grilled onions too, They can keep the jallepeno unless I use it for salsa.

I need more stock for both soups. Pureed ths caltiflower, found the souffle recipe and am wondering if I can make one 1/2 califlower 1/2 broccoli? I'll try it.

Decided to made chicken enchilldadas or chicken enchilasagna with the "pollo". Don't mush like chicken soup or eating it unless it's in Chinese something.

Now I just need people to eat all this or room in the freezer. I'll take some to school for lunches.

Time to clean out my office and put a new plastic thing for the floor that I got at the give away sale. The problem is I need to move a lot of boxes, files etc. first.

I want Armando's roomate Alfredo to come haul them out and do the heavy lifting.

Armando doesn't want me to let either his brother without his wife Sylvia and baby in or his roomate without him being here. I never even thought of that.

My house keeper Miriams boyfriend is a plummer and he is coming to to the leak work.

Maybe I'll even work some more on my selection list.Tomarrow I'm gonna get my taxes done. I worked on my decuction spreadsheet Sun.

I'm off to saute spinach and mushrooms and to make a white cheese bechemel sauce for eggs Florenteen.

Well the answer is you really can't to 2 souffles in the same disk, It's entirely possible to divide them and fold in the egg whites to each but its liquid so the first one ran into the 2nd.

We'll see how it comes out looks good anyway. Perhaps it's good no-one's here. It looked like it was all broccoli on top but once I spooned it out the teo were still segregated, caltiflower pure white and the broccoli on the other side, pale green.
Kinda cool.

The eggs florenteen look good with button and shitake mushrooms and I grated fresh nutmeg on top. Looks yummy. I used to make this a lot too.
I once had my friend kim over for breakfast and she told me later she fed the eggs to my cat, she doesn't like poached eggs.Good thing he ate them. I fed them to her mom too one other time.

The recipe comes from the

Enchanted Broccoli Forrest

cookbook by Molly Kasan.

My feet hurt...it's a lot of work.
