Pistachio – Cumin Crusted Rack of Lamb & A Roasted Cauliflower – Hazelnut Salad
I have had the images for this post up and ready for words for about a week now. It's not that I can't find the words to go along. It's just that I am ever near long enough the computer to sit down and write.
We had such a great time at the beach with my parents, my brother and his family that diving right back into work mode was a blessing and a curse at the same time. It's been busy around here but having my parents stay with me here in Birmingham for a couple of weeks shifted the rhythm even further.
It's good. It's all good. It's actually awesome to have them around and see the new house, the new job, the new town. They really get a handle on my new situation and all the questions they had are being answered. My photo schedule, the way we do things, the people I work with, the places I like to go to for dinner, a drink or to shop. Things are about as new to them as they are to me and we share discoveries and new finds everyday.
It's really nice to come home after a long day and start cooking with my mom. Chopping, dicing, searing, etc… while sipping a glass of wine and watching the end of an old movie or listening to the radio. We have more quiet time for serious talks, or to simply catch up on news about the family at large.
It's been raining lots lately and we have been enjoying a few comforting and hearty meals. The kind to make you feel instantly better and warm inside after being caught by a heavy rain.
Stews, fish soups, long cooked dishes, and roasted veggie soups have permeated the air around for days now, filling me with a bit of nostalgia. The flavors and spices of my grandmother's stews and roasts come into to our conversation almost at every meal. Her cooking while being so intricately French provincial was so influenced by her life in Northern Africa and encounters with other army wives.
It might be for this reason that I have absolutely loved every page turned in the new cookbook by Ottolenghi, Jerusalem, co-authored with Sami Tamimi. I hear my stomach growl at just about every recipe and my eyes pop out from every stunning picture. I find my family's cooking in so many of the recipes in the book.
I don't know if we are atypical or just reflect an era (military, moves, oversea travels, wars, etc…) but some of my most vivid food memories are as much of harissa, Berber couscous and papaya with lime juice as they are of cassoulet and Bouillabaisse.
In that regard, the book completely appeals to me. The way Ottolenghi and Tamimi look at culinary traditions and influences. Understanding that one dish may have the same root but different interpretations in neighboring cultures, civilizations or countries. They understood that cooking is honoring ones traditions as well as sharing common flavors, differences in interpretations. Food travels. It is not one to be of only one people and one culture. It is alive. It reflects peoples, generations and history. It is humanity.
I get that. Especially when sitting down at the dinner table around a plate of Pistachio Crusted Lamb and a side or Roasted Cauliflower & Hazelnut Salad. (recipes after the jump). I get the sharing, the cultural influences, and the roots. The history that brought this plate and the chatter about it, in front of me. I happily grab my fork and ask my mother for one more story about my grandmother. About her own childhood. About mine with her.
Only a few more days and they will be heading back to France. A few more days to revel in the memories and the times we are living in the present. I am grateful for the love and time they give me these few short weeks. It's been quite nice, indeed…
I hope you all have a wonderful week too!
Pistachio & Cumin Crusted Rack Of Lamb, slightly modified from Southern Living.
Serves 8
3/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup pistachios
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 (4-rib) lamb rib roasts (12 to 16 ounces each), trimmed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon Harissa
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
Process the first 3 ingredients in food processor until
finely ground. Transfer crumb mixture to a shallow dish.
In small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and Harissa and
brush all over the lamb. Season with salt and pepper. Roll in crumb mixture,
coating well and chill for at least 2 hours.
Cook lamb, in batches, in hot oil in a large skillet over
medium-high heat 1 minute on each side or until light brown. Transfer to 2 (13-
x 9-inch) lightly greased baking dishes.
Bake lamb at 350° for 24 minutes or until a meat thermometer
inserted into thickest portion registers 135° (medium-rare), or bake 30 to 35
minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers
145° (medium).
Remove from oven; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let
stand 5 minutes or until thermometer registers 145° (medium-rare) or 160°
(medium). Cut into chops and serve with the roasted Cauliflower & Hazelnut Salad.
Roasted Cauliflower & Hazelnut Salad, very slightly modified from "Jerusalem" by Ottolenghi and Tamimi.
Serves 4 to 6
1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 large celery stalk, cut into small pieces
5 tablespoons hazelnuts, skin on
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup radish sprouts (optional)
3 cloves roasted garlic, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 teaspoon Zatar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon honey
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 425F and position a rack in the middle.
In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper. Spread the mixture in a roasting pan and roast for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.Set aside to cool.
Lower the oven temperature to 325F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly then chop them coarsely and add to the cauliflower, along with all the remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper if needed.
Serve at room temperature.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending The Ultimate Chef's Table with Chef Curtis Stone food event put on by The Bay and Curtis Stone to promote his new line of cookware . At this event Curtis Stone showed off his new line of cookware by using it to cook his guests dinner. Of course all of the dishes that he made came straight from his most recent cookbook Relaxed Cooking with Curtis Stone: Recipes to Put You in My Favorite Mood and included a Tuna Ceviche, a Shrimp and Pesto Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, a Fresh Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb and a Blueberry Clafoutis. The event took place at Dish cooking studio here in Toronto where it was set up such that all of the guests could sit at tables surrounding the cooking area and watch chef Stone prepare the meal.
I had a great time at The Ultimate Chef's Table with Chef Curtis Stone! The food was really good and I got to meet a lot of interesting people including a few other Toronto food bloggers and Curtis Stone. Curtis Stone was really nice and did a great job of keeping his guests entertained while he cooked dinner. While cooking he also answered any questions that his guests had on any topic. I brought my camera and took some pictures which I uploaded to my flickr account here: The Ultimate Chef's Table with Chef Curtis Stone Photo Set One of my favorite dishes from the meal was the dessert, the blueberry clafoutis, and I wanted to try making it at home. It is not quite blueberry season here but luckily the stores are currently filled with cheap California blueberries. A while ago I made and enjoyed a cherry clafoutis so I was looking forward to comparing the new recipe with it. Clafoutis commonly has an almond flavour and most recipes that I have seen just call for almond extract but this one uses toasted almond slices that are ground into a powder. This clafoutis was really easy to make; you just mix everything in a food processor and then bake it for a few minutes. I was just as pleased with the home cooked version of this blueberry clafoutis as I was with the one that chef Stone served. Blueberries work really well in clafoutis and I liked the bit of texture that the ground almonds added.
Blueberry Clafoutis
- 3/4 cups almonds (sliced and toasted)
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cups blueberries
- Place the toasted almond slices, sugar, flour and salt in a food processor and process until the almonds are finely ground.
- Add the eggs and pulse a few times.
- Add the heavy cream and blend until a smooth batter is formed.
- Cover and refrigerated the batter for 12 hours.
- Divide the blueberries between 6 greased 4 inch tartlet pans and pour the batter over them.
- Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to set and the tops start to turn golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Let cool and serve with blueberry fool.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker called a special legislative session Thursday to extend the deadline for moving 77,000 people off Medicaid until April, saying they need more time to sign up for private insurance through the problematic online federal health care exchange.
Walker, a Republican, blasted the federal rollout during a news conference, calling the launch "abysmal" and saying he wants to make sure everyone who needs more time to find coverage gets it.
"We see very vividly it's not working," Walker said of the exchange. "We want to make sure nobody falls through the cracks."
Walker toughened Medicaid eligibility in the state budget, forcing 77,000 people off the state's BadgerCare plan and into the marketplace as of Jan. 1. The governor's administration gave everyone who would lose coverage until Dec. 15 to sign up for an alternative plan through the exchange to ensure uninterrupted coverage.
The exchange, a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's signature health care reform plan, offers people a chance to shop online for a private insurance plan. People who sign up for the plans can collect federal subsidies.
The website went live on Oct. 1 but it's been fraught with technical problems, making it difficult to sign up. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released state-by-state numbers on Wednesday that showed only 877 Wisconsin residents have been able to successfully enroll in a program between Oct. 1 and Nov. 2.
Walker said he wants the Legislature to pass a bill that would extend Medicaid coverage for those 77,000 people until April 1, the day the exchange is supposed to close. The governor also said he wants lawmakers to pass a bill that would allow about 20,000 people to continue to get insurance through what's known as a high-risk pool through April 1.
The pool - funded by a mix of money from health care providers, insurance companies and premiums - offers coverage for people with serious conditions who can't get it elsewhere. The federal reforms mandate insurance companies provide coverage regardless of a person's condition, eliminating the need for the pools. Wisconsin's pool ends Jan. 1.
Walker said both groups deserve more time to find private coverage through the exchange since the website doesn't work yet.
Walker said he wants to see the Legislature act on the bills by early December. The special session would begin when Walker issues an executive order setting the date. Walker didn't say when he would issue the order, and his spokesman said only that the order would be "forthcoming soon."
But Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, told The Associated Press he wasn't sure how much support Walker has for the proposals, saying the Legislature shouldn't have to "bail out" Democrats after they botched the exchange. He said he'd rather extend the deadline on a month-to-month basis.
"I'd just like to explore that first," he said. "I'm working with the governor to get there."
Walker brushed aside Fitzgerald's remarks during his news conference, calling them an "initial reaction." He said he doesn't think the state should be revisiting the problem on a monthly basis.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Burlington, said he believes most Republicans would support the delay.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Madison Democrat, sent Walker a letter Tuesday asking him to let the 77,000 stay on Medicaid through the end of March.
Baldwin issued a statement saying she was pleased Walker listened to her call to extend coverage but criticized him for not setting up a state-run exchange and refusing federal funds to expand Medicaid in the state.
Walker denied that he called the special session in response to Baldwin's letter, saying his administration had contemplated extending the deadline since it crafted the state budget depending on the exchange's performance.
He refused the federal Medicaid expansion because he didn't want to make people dependent on the federal government, a position he said the exchange rollout problems have validated.

Antonello Giliberto: The Mansion Of Lost Souls
I'm going to be honest with you about two things; firstly I am not the biggest fan of metal. Secondly, I have a very short attention span – so instrumental albums are not something I enjoy. Although I can appreciate musical talent and I love reviewing music I tend find that without lyrics I get incredibly bored unbelievably quickly.

Taylor Swift LIVE at Suncorp Stadium
I read somewhere once that if your girlfriend is listening to Taylor Swift you've either done something incredibly wrong or incredibly right. For the most part I think this statement is true, however they left out one major factor – if your girlfriend is listening to Taylor Swift on repeat for months on end then the singer is probably coming back to Australia as part of her Red Tour. Unlucky for my boyfriend the later was the case over the weekend and we went to see her live at Suncorp Stadium.

Bear's Den: Without/Within
Before I say anything about the latest EP from Bear's Den 'Without/Within' there is something I simply have to admit to, and I hope that I am not alone when I say this. Font man Andrew Davie literally has the sexiest voice. I could listen to him on repeat all day and never want to turn it off.

About Ed Org
Born in Shropshire in 1955, Ed had an idyllic childhood among woods, fields, secret pools and ruined barns, which helped fire his imagination for mythological work.
In the 1970s Ed undertook a Foundation course at Shrewsbury College of Art, and then completed a Fine Art degree at Cheltenham College of Art, with his final degree show based on "The Lord of the Rings".
Until the early 90s Ed worked as a graphic designer in the advertising industry, and then in 1993 he chose to follow his heart and leave safe employment to pursue his own path, and started to create personal works on a mythological theme in watercolour and intricate pencil drawings. He is influenced by his favourite artist, Edward Burne-Jones, but also the book illustrators, Arthur Rackham, Willy Pogany, Russell Flint, Charles Robinson, and others. The landscapes of Devon, the Lake District and local woodland are a feature in many of his pieces. His larger works can take up to 18 months to complete. Ed also produces open and limited edition prints of many of his works.
Ed has undertaken numerous commissions, the most notable being several corporate designs for the Wychwood Brewery including 'Hobgoblin', 'Black Wych' and 'Fiddler's Elbow'.
Ed has a strong following and many collectors across the UK and abroad.
Obsidian has been showing Ed's work since we first opened in 2002, and we now showcase his work in an annual solo show.

Call us to book an appointment for excellent mattress cleaning at lowest price in Hurstville Grove!
Importance of Mattress Cleaning
Every mattress needs professionally cleaning because:
- Your mattress daily attracts dust, dirt, and other contaminants.
- This build up of soil and dirt leads to growth of mould, mildew, allergens, germs, and bacteria.
- Home cleaning methods are not enough to clean your mattress from deep inside and thus the fabrics inside stay unclean and hygienic even if you clean your mattress at home daily.
- Stains and spillages are common to occur and these add to the bad condition of your mattress.
- Unclean mattresses can lead to various health problems such as coughing, sneezing, allergies and asthma.
- When you don't get your mattress cleaned regularly then you might have to get it replaced sooner than the cleaned ones.
- Your indoor air also gets affected by dirty mattresses.
- Human hair and human sweat also seeps into the mattress fabric that needs to be removed on regular basis.
How We Clean Mattresses
Our motto at Mark's Mattress Cleaning Hurstville Grove is to deliver unmatched quality of mattress cleaning services to help you live healthy and sleep better. Our mattress cleaning process comprises the following procedures:
- Mattress Vacuuming – We have the most advanced range of cleaning machines. Our first step is to thoroughly vacuum your mattress and remove all of the dry particles including soil, human hair, human skin flakes, and dirt particles.
- Targeting Contaminants – We target not just the visible particles but even the minutest ones including those contaminants that cannot be seen with naked eyes.
- Hot Water Extraction – When the mattress is too dirty or stained, we use hot water extraction method for deep cleaning. We use a mix of effective cleaning solution and hot water for mattress cleaning. Then we use latest machines that do the suction part and extract everything from the mattress – hot water, cleaning solution, germs, bacteria, and contaminants.
- Mattress Protection Shield – We apply a special protection shield on the mattress that keeps bacteria and mould away from your mattress.
- Mattress Sanitization – Cleanliness is not complete unless the sanitization process takes place. So we do mattress sanitization for germ-free and healthy bedding.
- Final Mattress Inspection– Once we are done, our cleaners perform a final mattress inspection.

Rencontres d'Arles: Exploring Photography's Varied Aesthetics
No Limits
In its 42 year history, Rencontres d'Arles photography festival has offered an unique proposition: a celebration of styles and practices without over-emphasising photography's boundaries. With this underlying ethos, the festival embraces the new age of the photograph; stating that we have become "a species of editors" creating more than ever because "resources are limitless." With this in mind, this year's festival boasts 60 exhibitions and is themed around connections to Mexico from the revolution through to the present day.
The festival continued until 18 September 2011. www.rencontres-arles.com.

After weeks of wondering what would happen, Americans now know:
1. Congress missed the midnight funding deadline for the new fiscal year, triggering disruptions in government operations.
2. That will slow economic growth, at least in the short term.
But just how far the damage will go is far from clear. Economists say they can't refine their predictions because they have no idea how long the shutdown might last or how many federal workers may be furloughed.
Among the questions they are pondering: If, as is now expected, the Labor Department fails to release the September unemployment report on Friday, will that lack of key data rattle investors?
"Getting some clarity would be a big relief for the markets," said John Canally, economist for LPL Financial, a Boston-based financial services firm.
Uncertainty about the scope and duration of the federal disruption reflects the division of responsibilities among branches of government. It's up to Congress to agree on a funding mechanism to reopen the government. But it's up to the Obama administration to determine exactly which workers are "essential" for the protection of life and property.
In some federal workplaces, the "essential" line might be bright and clear. For example, at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, visitors will be turned away, but pandas will get fed.
But other calls will be much more complicated, and directions from supervisors have been murky so far, according to Michael Roberts, a Food and Drug Administration employee who serves as president of Chapter 212 of the NTEU, a union representing workers at several federal agencies.
"We've been getting conflicting information, with no clear guidance at the moment," Roberts said.
To the best of his understanding, many workers may be told to stay home for a few days but then could be recalled as "essential." For example, imports may start coming into this country without inspection — until someone determines that certain shipments represent "the highest level of risk," he said.
So exactly how high does a risk have to be before inspectors get called back? No one knows, and the answer may be a moving target, he said. "You would think we'd have an idea what's going on by now," Roberts said.
Even trying to determine how many people the government employs can be tough because of part-timers. A census report shows the government employs about 2.62 million people. And of those, perhaps 800,000 could be called nonessential, or at least that's the most commonly reported estimate.
IHS Global Insight economist Paul Edelstein says that if Congress were to keep the shutdown going for, say, three weeks or more, then the gross domestic product — i.e., the sum of all goods and services — would lose momentum. Instead of growing by the expected 2 percent this quarter, the economy might slow to just a 1.5 percent pace, he said.
That would translate into 75,000 fewer net jobs for the economy this fall, coming on top of the loss of income for those 800,000 workers' salaries.
The government shutdown will "throw a wrench into the gears" of a recovering economy, President Obama warned Monday.
FDA worker Roberts said the loss of federal paychecks will have an impact on many families, from park rangers to secretaries to inspectors. "We have people who are struggling and living paycheck to paycheck," he said. "They don't know when or if they will be paid."
That means lots of households will be cutting back on spending, and that worries store owners.
"Our industry is keenly concerned," said Greg Ferrara, spokesman for the National Grocers Association. "There's a lot riding on this for us."
Many restaurant owners are worried, too. Andy Thompson, a co-owner of the Thornton River Grille in Sperryville, Va., says many of his customers come to visit the nearby Shenandoah National Park — especially now during the peak of leaf-viewing tourist season.
If federal workers in Virginia lose paychecks and the park gates remain locked for long, then his restaurant could feel the pinch.
But he said business owners have come to expect poor economic results from Congress when it comes to orderly budget planning. "Everyone has that feeling: Why can't they get it together?" he said.
