I have made the Big Bread sandwich probably 20 times (page 324) The first few years I made the bread as well but then found the a large round Italian loaf worked just as well (the denser the better - the one I buy is a giant doughnut which makes it easier to serve)
Other than that I follow the recipe to a T (very rare for me) - it is absolutely delicious and a great crowd pleaser at a cottage.
re: ElizabethS
I am making a loaf of The Big Bread (page 326) tonight. WOW. It was HUGE even before it started rising (we're about to punch it out again)-- my sweety wondered if it will fit in the apartment once it expands to three times its original size. We're excited to see how it turns out... as we are two people, I don't think I'm going to make the entire Big Bread sandwich, but I might for some friends on Thanksgiving weekend, or maybe when we go to my mom's house for Thanksgiving Eve.
The eggplant Livia intrigues me -- no cooking the eggplant, right? You marinate it for three days?? How does that turn it? I assume it must be fantastic if you've made it TWENTY times (wow!) I'll definitely try the full-on sandwich, but I think I'll do the components a few at a time first.
re: foxy fairy
The Eggplant is delicious - no cooking required. I actually usually double it as it's a great dish to have in the frig - note I've also used bottled Italian eggplant in oil in a pinch.
re: ElizabethS
Elizabeth-- What kind of dried chilies do you like for the Eggplant Livia?? Have you ever used a fresh jalapeño?
re: ElizabethS
I'm out of town without my cook book and wanted to make the big sandwich recipe again. All I remember is the last time I made it that the recpe said hollow out a big loaf and that I had to buy some really good cold cuts. Can you give me the rest of the recipe or tell me how to find it online?
So... the BIG bread (p. 326).
PROCESS: Definitely make this with plenty of time and patience, as it needs to rise THRICE, not twice :) Normally I would never use the word thrice, but somehow it seems fitting here. Rosso and Lukins note that first round of rising time could take up to three hours (and for me, it did take just that long) for the dough to triple in volume. Then you punch it out, and it rises *again*. Then you form the loaf, set it on the baking sheet, and it rises *again*
It was a lot of fun to make this bread. We did not have to knead for fifteen minutes (step 4), probably b/c we added the flour cup by cup in my handy KitchenAid stand mixer, stirring five seconds after adding each cup, and more after the fifth cup... so we only ended up kneading by hand about four minutes (!) I would certainly advise assembling the dough in a stand mixer if you have one -- though it will fill the bowl to the top and nearly overflow. This dough calls for more than ten cups of flour! eeek.
SIZE AND FLAVOR: We called this turkey bread (see photo) as it is literally that big. It is ENORMOUS. We had no idea what to expect for flavor, but it's just delightful. The bread is so soft, and it's a really pretty color and slightly sweet from the molasses (2 Tbsp). We enjoyed slices warm with butter, and later dunked in roasted garlic soup (epicurious recipe) and in hot garlicky artichoke dip. Mmmmm. We will be using it for sandwiche as well. I will have to freeze some or parcel it out to friends and neighbors because I don't know how two people could eat this much bread... :)
This is a keeper. On Thanksgiving Eve, I'm going to make The Big Bread Sandwich at my mom's house... what a great idea for the night before, right? I'll certainly make this loaf again, and I'm going to do the Eggplant Livia and the vinaigrette too.
This bread would be a fantastic cooking project to share with budding child or teen bakers... it is so hysterical to pull a turkey-sized loaf out of the oven, and the assembly really isn't hard. Kids would love punching it out, I think, too...
re: foxy fairy
Your bread looks terrific! I had forgotten about the molasses.
I use regular dried chili flakes or whole dried chiles.......I've never used jalapenos because they just don't seem to ever be hot enough anymore
Hope you'll post of pic of the sandwich!
re: foxy fairy
Another tip I just remembered - if you ever do make the complete recipe using the entire loaf then it's easiest to cut the bread into two pieces and THEN slice the bread crosswise into 3 pieces (it's too hard to get even crosswise slices if the bread is in one piece).....so that just means you assemble two halves of the bread at the same time.
I think if I tried harder I could make that harder to understand!
re: foxy fairy
WOW! That is one big bread loaf alright! Thanks for the picture, now I will make it!
Fun for a football party! Could you serve chili or stew in there, like an actual tureen?
Marinated Eggplant Livia, p. 326
We adore eggplant in my family, with my mom as the leader of The Eggplant Pack. So I decided to surprise her with this dish for the soup/sandwich dinner I made on Thanksgiving Eve. I will DEFINITELY make this again - it is fantastic to have around during the holidays, a snap to toss together, and you could spoon it on crostini even(very tangy, but I like it that way). Excellent -- it's all set to go with no kitchen work once guests are there. Plus, you just grab some cold cuts and ricotta and Ta-Da! you can serve a dazzler of a sandwich whenever anyone stops over -- even vegetarians or vegans will be delighted. I wish I had known about this when I was struggling for cool sandwich ideas as a vegetarian for nearly ten years.
I followed the instructions precisely - salting and weighting the eggplant the first night, then carefully layering it in a big bowl with the marinade spooned over it. I used two eggplants and doubled the marinade (olive oil, hot chile flakes, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, basil, lots of black pepper). I stirred it about three or four times a day, making sure that the marinade coated all of the eggplant. The amount was just right to cover my eggplant, which I did cut the long way as advised for optimal sandwich-filling.
SP advises letting this hang out for three days. However, on the morning after I set it to marinate, I caught my sweety munching on some in the fridge! Akkk! Apparently, Sweety peeked, and then found the smell irresistible and had to dive in. But I don't think the eggplant is really "cooked" though until the second full day - I wouldn't want to eat it until it had marinated and really softened right up for two day.
I served this with my version of The Big Bread sandwich -- see below. WOW. WOW. WOW. Eggplant lovers, make this immediately. It would be great on toast with some goat cheese or mascarpone or ricotta. Could make a cool cold pasta salad too.
The (Little) Bread Sandwich, p. 327
I have been excited about trying this recipe since I received this book two years ago. What an excellent idea for a sandwich, I thought. I did modify this some -- basically made it into four individual sandwiches, and skipped the sausage/pepper layer. I was delighted with the result, and so were my fellow sandwich-eaters.
Earlier in the month (see above) I did a test run of the Big Bread - which is sweet and honey-colored due to molasses, but really outrageously large. I like a baguette for a star sandwich, so I decided to (get up at five am and) make Tyler Florence's baked baguettes -- four mini loaves. This worked out better, too, as my sister doesn't eat red meat and couldn't have the prosciutto.
I made the eggplant ahead of time, and about half an hour before serving I whipped up the Garlic Dressing, p. 211 though I did not use anchovies per family request. The vinaigrette was perfect here! I mixed the ricotta with a lot of fresh parsley and the Romano and black pepper, but I skipped the egg yolk and salt -- it was salty enough with the prosciutoo, cheeses, etc.
My assembly differed from the official SP style, as I only used two slices of bread per sandwich. I spooned the ricotta mixture on the bottom slice of baguette, then the eggplant livia (divine, see above post), then arugula with some garlic dressing, then sprinkled on some halved grape tomatoes, then prosciutto, with more of the garlic dressing on the top slice of bread. WOW. I had bought the Fontina too but thought it would be a bit much.
I served this with roasted pumpkin soup (with pepita cream) that I made based loosely on an Epicurious recipe -- I had used the hot chili flakes in both the soup and the eggplant, so they actually worked together. The sandwich is tangy and intensely delicious. No one finished more than half, because we did have the soup too, but it tasted excellent for breakfast during the cooking frenzy on Thanksgiving morning.
I didn't assemble in layers because it just seemed like too much bread and it was perfect as is -- I didn't want any more cheese, and I think the sausage/peppers would have been really heavy, at least for this bunch of chicas.

re: foxy fairy
ooo! Almost forgot my pictures --
re: foxy fairy
'foxy fairy' what a wonderful job you did reporting on these recipes. I have had both cookbooks for about 17 years??? But a long time. I do love eggplant and have not tried that recipe, it looks and reads divine. We love good sandwiches, the bread looks great, (always wondered about that big bread) The big bread I think is too big for us but your loaves do look perfect! Thanks especially for the photos, it really takes the mystery out of the recipe for me. Oh and the SOUP look great as well, NICE JOB!
re: chef chicklet
;) Blushing... thanks chef chicklet and I was going to post also about the STUNNED JOY with which everyone lapped up your hot garlicky artichoke dip this weekend. Thank you so much. Everyone was saying "hmm... how come this one's not greasy?" I made a double batch - half to bring for Thanksgiving dinner with friends, half to enjoy last night for a "tapas" dinner with la familia, including your dip with ciabatta, stuffed mushrooms, crispy brussels sprouts, and (bringing it back to COTM) giant slabs of SP chocolate cake. We meant to make more eggplant etc sandwiches last night, but after so many other snacks, that was put on hold until dinner tonight.
One more picture of the sandwich, since you cheered me on with the others -- don't you want to dive right into this?!?! Let me know how it turns out when you make it :)
re: foxy fairy
So glad you posted your results! Isn't the eggplant fantastic! I mourn the loss of the sausage and peppers though - is it because you don't like them? Otherwise they are delicious as well in the sandwich.
Well.......I haven't made one this year - better get cracking!
re: foxy fairy
I opened the picture and at the same time my husband was looking over my shoulder... You should of heard him! WHAT IS THAT!! Man that looks GOOD!
So I told him and now he wants me to make it. I was going to anyway, but I can't tell you how valuable the pictures are. If I would of described marinated eggplant and the rest, it would not of received such an enthusiastic response as your beautiful picture prompted! Thanks so much!
And also for the compliment on the dip, we never get tired of it!
re: chef chicklet
Yes, yes - you with your hand raised in the back - just putting in a vote to keep the sausage and peppers. Also - could I get your artichoke recipe....thanks!
re: ElizabethS
Hot & Garlicky Artichoke Dip ~~~~~~~
2 cans of artichokes, drained and cut fine or 2 boxes frozen Artichoke hearts(drained)
1 8oz pkg. Cream Cheese or Mascarpone
1 cup mayonnaise
2 shallots sautéed – see above add the garlic after the shallots
5 garlic gloves cut into pieces and sautéed with the shallots to golden color
½ lemon- juice only
½ cup grated parmesan
Salt and cracked pepper to taste
Drain the artichoke hearts well and rinse, put that and all but the lemon juice and the parmesan cheese to a blender or food processor, and with short bursts mix, not pureeing but smallish pieces to make for easy spreading.
Pour into a nice baking crock or dish (one you can serve out of)
Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.
We like to serve on fresh small sour dough rounds or toasted assorted breads.

From 1866-1934, the Parker
Brothers manufactured 200,000 shotguns in nine grades of quality. Only three
were ever produced at the highest level, nine, and they bear the name "invincible."
Today, the Parker Invincibles — two 12-gauges and one 16-gauge — are the most valuable shotguns in the world, with
an estimated worth of more than $5 million. The Parker Invincible shotgun set can be seen at the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia.
This engraved shotgun model was the flagship of the Parker product line.

Rivers, a La Center Republican, has served in the Washington Legislature for a little more than two years. She understands power—Rivers has a political consulting business, running campaigns and lobbying for local schools.
But Rivers, 46, has quickly found herself the most prominent and perhaps most persuasive player in Olympia on the proposed $3.4 billion Columbia River Crossing.
She hates the project, even though she knows some residents of her Clark County district might benefit from the massive freeway bridge and light-rail. She knows the CRC has influential backers—business and labor unions, and that she will feel heat when the time comes to stop the project.
"I will not be intimidated," she says.
She isn't alone. The Washington Senate appears united in its determination to stop the CRC, which recently rolled through the Oregon Legislature.
Other Clark County lawmakers have lined up in opposition as well, but Rivers has emerged as the leader of that opposition, unswayed by arguments that Oregon and Washington must build this project now.
"It's almost been like a timeshare sales pitch: 'If you don't buy now, by God, you'll never be able to get it at this price!'" Rivers says. "We need some sanity on this."
The CRC would replace the Interstate 5 Bridge between Oregon and Washington, expand nearby highway interchanges and extend TriMet's MAX to Vancouver. Backers say the project is needed to reduce freeway congestion and replace the aging spans.
The Oregon Legislature pushed through a $450 million CRC funding measure in just three weeks, backed by business and labor interests and powerful Democrats, including House Speaker Tina Kotek (D-Portland) and Gov. John Kitzhaber.
Two years ago, the notion that Washington would balk at the CRC while Oregon forged ahead was unthinkable. The state's Democrats back the project. And in 2012, Democrats held a majority of seats in the Senate.
The turning point, for the CRC and Rivers, came when two Democrats agreed to caucus with Republicans. That gave GOP senators control and, with it, the ability to stop the bridge.
Sen. Curtis King (R-Yakima), co-chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, says Rivers' engaging, conversational style of politics has made her a force behind putting the CRC on the Senate's radar.
"She's a more quiet individual than some of the other legislators," King says. "She gathers her information and has the ability to articulate the reasons behind the way she votes or feels."
Rivers grew up in Michigan and earned degrees in political science from Central Michigan University and natural sciences from Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. She and her husband, Fred, who works in the pulp and paper industry, moved to Southwest Washington more than 20 years ago.
Rivers was first elected to the Washington House in 2010, was appointed to a Senate seat last year, and won the seat outright in November. She's campaigned on traditional GOP themes: shrinking government payrolls and reducing barriers to business. Above all, though, she's known for her opposition to the CRC.
Now Senate majority whip, Rivers says the project's costs aren't worth shaving only a minute off the rush-hour commute from Portland to Vancouver.
"This is not a project about congestion relief, not a project about freight mobility," Rivers says. "All those things were shells. It's about light rail."
Washington Democrats back the CRC: Gov. Jay Inslee, House leaders and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray. But the feds won't commit money—including financing for light rail—until both states pony up their $450 million share.
Rivers has her own influential ally in King, the transportation committee co-chairman, who announced his committee won't approve the CRC.
King and Rivers served on an oversight committee on the project. "The deeper we looked, the more questions we had," Rivers says. "We would wait and wait and wait, and never get the information we wanted."
Unlike Oregon, Washington has seen cost overruns, poor design and inaccurate tolling forecasts strike other transportation megaprojects in the state. Among the most recent: a 37 percent revenue decline on the SR 520 bridge near Seattle after tolling began in late 2011.
A local legislator who supports the CRC, Sen. Annette Cleveland (D-Vancouver), says she has most Senate Democrats on her side—and she needs only two Republican votes. "I don't yet feel that it's dead," Cleveland says. "I want to believe."
But Rivers says she won't let the opportunity to kill the CRC slip away. She's taken no chances, working her Senate colleagues on the issue and trying to keep her fellow Republicans together.
"My shoulders have gotten very broad and strong from being the only one saying, 'No, no, no,'" Rivers says. "And now others are beginning to join me."

Student Publications
Off The Wall is COA's student newspaper, available on Issuu. It generally comes out three times a term, and is filled with a range of reporting and creative writing, mostly from the student segment of the community, but with special guest appearances by others. For questions, submissions, or ideas, email the publications committee.
Off the Wall has a long and storied history, beginning with posts that were on the wall. A messageboard of notes, ideas, comments, etc., when COA was a bit newer and smaller.
Eventually, these posts got taken off the wall and mimeographed (remember that!) into an unedited newspaper that was distributed to the community. This morphed into an edited paper, eventually called The Insider, which in its last incarnation was printed on newsprint. More recently, students brought back Off the Wall as a kind of zine; for a while, submissions that would have been directed to OTW were published online as Humjournal (see below). But now OTW is back. It is published online, distributed to campus email as a pdf, and limited copies (so as to preserve our beautiful forests) are printed and found in Take-A-Break and Deering Common.
Edge of Eden is COA's creative journal. While it is frequently a traditional magazine-type volume, it has been a poster, a cd, a scroll and possibly more. In 2012, plans are to make it a publication and an event. In whatever form it appears, Edge of Eden gets produced each spring, courtesy of the publications committee and COA creativity.
Each spring, too, seniors collect their photos into a volume of images known as Collaborative Portraits, a meaningful, visual yearbook.

Technical workers at Boeing have approved a new four-year contract, putting an end to negotiations that have lasted nearly one year.
Votes tallied March 18 by the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, IFPTE Local 2001 show Technical workers voted 4,244 to accept and 654 to reject. Union negotiators told members a second rejection would likely result in a strike as Boeing was refusing to move on all issues.
Union members were voting on a contract offer that was identical to the offer the 7,191 Technical workers narrowly rejected and the larger Professional Unit of engineers narrowly accepted Feb. 19. While engineers and technical workers bargain at the same time, the contracts are separate and independent agreements.
The new contract extends the terms of the previous contract, including 5 percent annual salary increase pools, no increases to employees for medical coverage and an increase to the retirement benefit. By the end of the new agreement, SPEEA represented technical workers, and also the engineers, will have received eight straight years of 5 percent salary increase pools, with guaranteed minimum wage increases each year of the contract.
The major area of contention during negotiations was the defined benefit retirement pension plan. While overwhelming member support and workplace action helped union negotiators continually get Boeing to improve most elements of the contract offer, the company steadfastly refused to move away from eliminating the pension for new technical workers hired after March 1, 2013. Like most new employees at Boeing, technical workers and engineers will now receive the company's "enhanced 401(k)" and not the defined benefit pension.
SPEEA and Boeing started negotiations in April 2012. Technical workers have been without a contract since Nov. 25.
While the majority of covered employees are in the Puget Sound region of Washington state, these contracts include employees in Oregon, Utah and California.

The Sea Gypsy's haven of Wakatobi
Posted on : 10 September 2013
Categories : Diving and Snorkeling
They named themselves the Sea people. Born and lives all depend on the sea. They have no territorial like other tribe. The entire wakatobi shore - even the entire nation, is their home. They really are the 'Sea tribe'
We get on to a small boat to get across to one of the Bajo village in Kaledupa Island. The sea is so calm, the sky is blue, and in the distance we can see the stage house with their wooden pillars pierce to the bottom of the ocean.
This is one of place where the Bajo community settles. They are no longer a sea nomadic as they used to be. Now they hav live in settlement spreading throughout the entire Wakatobi area.
Here in Kaledupa island, they build their own village in the middle of the sea. Placing coral stone foundation and build a stage house on it. A few even build without foundation, just by sticking the pillars to the bottom of the sea.
The Bajo tribe is a true master of the sea. Since the day they were born, they have lived on the ocean. They are masters of traditional spearfishing.
They hunt for fish with freediving without any modern equipment. At the bottom of the sea, they walk and hold spear as if they were hunting on land.
"There are people among us who could dive up to 25 minutes," said one of the Bajo villagers while i was chatting at the harbor.
Whether it is true or not, because the free diving world record apnea is just 22 minutes. But then again, it is the Bajo tribe. Ocean have been part of their life, so it could be true.
Children of Bajo tribe have been familiar with the sea since early stages. Even, just a day after they were born, they will be bathed with sea water.
Indonesian was known as a maritime antion. Glorious on the sea. The marine capability of the Bugis tribe sailing the ocean with their phinisi may be great. But Bajo people, which said as a Sriwijaya kingdom naval armada, are just using a small boat, can beat them easily with their skill.
That afternoon, we embarked at the Sampela pier; on of the most traditional Bajo village. Stage houses here are still built from woods, unlike the other village where they have use concrete and iron sheeting as the roof.
I saw line of houses in the village. Kids playing with their canoes, some just play in the water, and some plays cocces on a 'field' - which is also build on wooden stage. I also notice school and mosque have been built in the village. The majority of Bajo people are moslem, even though their traditional believes about ancestor spirits and other are stil praticed
The sun is on the horizon, beautifully shining the Sapela. I am still wandering around this village. Some houses are seen to be having satelitte antenna to get television broadcast. But, the bajo tribe is still seems to be in lower economic status compared to people living in nearest town.
I was at the market near Wanci located on the shore, numbers of small fishing boat is seen, looking for fish with their nets and caught fish filling their boats.
"I place the nets about half an hour ago," said one of the fisherman. Fresh fish were easily caught in short time! With large variation such as snapper, grouper cob, even big tuna can be found around Wakatobi. And, Indonesia is known as one of the largest tuna exporter in the world.�
Wakatobi is also on of the areas which are known as the Coral Triangle. The coral reefs in Wakatobi are the second longest in the world nest to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia! And, from all 850 kinds of Coral in the wrold ; Wakatobi is the home of 750 kinds of them!
I get the chance to dive in Wanci an I was amazed by the beauty coral and fishes it has. My dive guide said, it is nothing here to compare to the one in Hoga island. Hoga island is another small island in Kaledupa, which is also the basis of Operation Wallace; an an international marine research organization. But it even here in Wanci the underwater view is astonishing.
The Bajo tribe knowledge of sea is amazing, the can tell a fish just by seeing from the canoe, "I only takes what we need (from the sea), I never used bombs or other dangerous equipment," said one of the fisherman.
He said that using dangerous technique in fishing is not their way. The Bajo tribe lives from the sea; they know how to well treat their live source.
Yet still, some people are still praticing illegal way such as using bombs or potassium to catch fish which could damage the coral. For that a local organization working hand in hand with the local fisherman to protect Wakatobi area.
At night under the stars, we have a barbeque dinnier with the fish we caught with sapah. A traditional spearfishing that done on the boat, with a oil lamp to attract the fish. With the sea breeze blowing, a Bajo tribe man sang a beautiful traditional song. Even though we didn't understand the lyrics means, but the music and the atmosphere was amazing.
I'm so amazed by the natural beauties of Wakatobi and hoping that one day this community can be prosperous. So I can dive and enjoy the wonderful underwater coral park of Wakatobi with a peace in mind.
The people of Bajo Tribe may be on the other side of economy status, but they believe as long as they respect the ocean, the ocean will fullfill their needs. Because they are the gypsies of the sea, the master of the ocean , the sea people, the Bajo tribe of Wakatobi.
Travel Tips
Getting thereDirect flight to Wakatobi only serves by lion air from Jakarta to Wanci of Wangi-wangi Island.
Wakatobi stands for Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko. Wanci is the biggest town and where the airport.
For diving junkie, you should stay in Hoga Island. There were homestay and also a resort for arranging a dive. The best dive spot is Hoga, Wanci, and Tomia.
In other island like Tomia there were also a homestay, don't forget trekking to Tomia Hill Peak, the view is amazing.
When to go
Wakatobi is worth a visit at any time of year, but the best visit is on dry season on August - December.

Lacking proper tools, I'd just use a saber saw and a good metal blade for just one hole.

I would use the hole saw too. If you want to keep the hole saw from wandering, drill the 4 1/2'' hole in a piece of plywood that will fit in your hole location. Cut the plywood so it is large enough to stand on. This will work as a guide and should work out well.
Use something to help wash away the chips. Water soluble oil, Wd40, etc. even just plain water will help keep the hole saw from loading up. A drill with an extra handle is prefered so when it catches less chance of hurting your wrist.MM250

and lube the aluminum, you can even use tapping fluid, it will bind to the chips and remove them faster. Slow speed, you don't want to burn up your $5 hole saw

Walking two dogs can be a bit like an avant-garde modern dance performance with you twirling around trying to untangle two leashes and a stubborn duo of dogs. But if canine choreography isn't your thing, give your final bow and opt for the Double Dog Leash. It allows you to walk your besties further apart, closer together, or at different lengths, giving you the power to control the movements. It also means you only have to hold one leash, which, let's face it, is easier, safer, and so much more comfortable. A little grace is good, isn't it?
Features nylon webbing, a tangle-free swivel, bar tack stitching for maximum strength, and a secure snap hook.
Measurements: Adjustable leash is 5' long and 1" wide.

Authentic Mexican Tapas? Just a Nibble
Does anyone else sometimes feel like the literal translation of "tapas" could be "How do I figure out how many of these little tiny plates of food will constitute an actual meal?"
Unless you're in the right hands, you may be disappointed by your choices. But fear not. At Antojeria La Popular, a new tapas joint in New York's SoHo neighborhood, a satisfying experience awaits.
First things first: La Popular is authentic Mexican, not your typical Spanish tapas bar. It's the newest project from Regina Galvanduque and Andres Mier y Teran, the Mexican husband and wife design team behind GLVDK and Mexican-fusion restaurants like Taka Taka (Mexican-Japanese) and Vive La Crèpe (French).
With La Popular, they've combined their creative and pragmatic design principles with their favorite foods from home, and the result is a real treat.
Street Snacks Reinvented
In Mexico, "antojeria" is like a street snack, a little nibble you'd typically find from a cart. In Spain, where dinner is traditionally eaten quite late, the small plates we associate with tapas are eaten as a pre-dinner snack with wine.
Think of Antojeria La Popular as both. It's a snack. It can be dinner. A place you want to be whether it's the middle of the afternoon or late at night.
A few steps off Spring Street (convenient to the 6 subway station), La Popular looks like a cozy, friendly taverna. Checkerboard floors, wood bars and tables, and an open kitchen welcome you inside to rub shoulders with your fellow man. Happily, one of your fellow men is the talented young head chef, Andres Figueroa.
I attended the French Culinary Institute (now the International Culinary Center) with Chef Andres, where he was informally voted the most likely to make a name for himself as a chef. After tasting some of his handiwork, I'd say he's well on his way.
Chef Andres is a Texan by birth and Dominican by extraction, but says his current biggest influence is his wife, who is Mexican. I think his classical culinary skills, cultivated at stints at Blue Hill and Bar Boulud, may have a little something to do with his success, too.
Working with the owners, Chef Andres has refined family recipes to put out a wide array of creative, fresh and evocative plates.
I went with the chef's recommendations for a tasting menu to fully sample La Popular's four basic food groups: Ceviches (food cooked by marinating it in citrus juices), Botanas (little snacks), Mar (from the sea) and Tierra (from the land).
But first, I ordered the agua del dia - the non-alcoholic drink of the day. I was rewarded with Horchata, a traditional Mexican drink made with rice, milk and vanilla and sprinkled with cinnamon (optional). Light, with that strangely compelling blend of dairy and spice, I quickly ordered a double.
For the first dish, I ordered something I'd never tried before - sirloin ceviche in a dish called Distrito Federal (all of La Popular's dishes are named for places in Mexico).
Yes, that's right. And it was awesome.
Cured in fresh lime juice, the sirloin was unbelievably tender with a great mouth-feel, and it was served in a smoky tribilin sauce and accompanied with warm mini-tortillas for wrapping.
For my Botanas, I got Tabasco, which is a dreamy, creamy bowl of roasted poblanos and fresh corn swimming in crema and Chihuahua cheese. The combination of the cream and the slight warmth from the poblanos was addictive, and it was all I could do to not ask for a spoon in addition to eating it wrapped with the warm tortilla.
From the Sea
From the sea, Chef Andres' recommendation was another first for me: Raw fish. (Embarrassing as it is to admit, I don't eat real sushi.) So I cringed when I saw the Guerrero, with its bright red raw tuna coddled in a Serrano mayo with mango and habanero peppers served in a wafer-thin slice of jicama.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh? I almost cried it was so good.
The jicama "tortilla" is genius - slightly pickled to make it pliant, its crisp crunch was the perfect foil for the tangy spice of the mayo and the cubes of jewel-tone tuna.
A second seafood offering, the Sonora, is also excellent. Tender shrimp oozing with bacon essence and avocado in a spicy Chihuahua cheese and chipotle mayo sauce served in a petite pita.
Lastly, the Zacatecas brought me full circle back to sirloin, deliciously cooked this time with tomatillo, avocado and a tangy, tart salsa verde to compliment the queso Chihuahua and meat.
I was nearly undone. Seriously. The flavors were unique and unexpected. The spice was mild with the kind of alluring heat that is balanced beautifully as part of the holistic dish. The Horchata paired beautifully with every bite, supporting my belief when pairing food and drink that what grows together goes together.
