Equipment

Bain Marie (Pyrex Bowl With Lid)
Karahi For Indian Cooking
Good morning my friends! Hope you have a nice week end ...we are well into autumn and the weather is getting cooler by the day. I prefer the cold since I tend to have more ideas on cooking cold weather foods as opposed to summer, Boy I tell you!! I really had a problem this past summer trying to find light meals and salads because I like none of them. I love calories!! Greasy food!! Fat!! You would say Yech!! but in the 7 billion people around this globe there must be other people like me!! Not that I am looking down upon you guys, my friends and relatives but that's me and that is why I like blogging...it gives me an opportunity to express my feelings, my likes, dislikes. It relaxes me. God only know how much relaxation I need...... I just would like to share with you, how so very important it is to have the right equipment. There still are a few other things I need but slowly I'll get there.  People say"The first 100 years in one's life are the most difficult". The only thing I don't have and I do not think I will ever have, is a large enough kitchen similar to a blogger friend who writes about "Le Memorie Di Angelina". Frank, the publisher, is a lawyer by day and a cook by night. He just moved in his new home and into one heck of a kitchen which he exposed in one of his posts....

So I hope you are enjoying looking at this equipment which in my humble opinion are required to prepare good food. I am proud to say that I have entertained and cooked for, thirty people in my veranda in August of 2010 when we threw a party for our 29th wedding anniversary. We were thinking of the Crisis then and said better make in 2010 who knows what will happen in 2011.  Just have a look at my pictures and maybe take some ideas if you wish.
Thank you for your attention,
Stelio.

Bamia Mafroukeh--Ladies fingers with beef or lamg -Taste of Sudan.

S udan is the largest country in Africa. Lately there was a quarrel between the North and South (Juba). The reason: Oil. Chevron and other Petroleum companies found lots of Oil reserves in the South and so the fight started. I personally visited the village of Bentu, in the South during one of my visits to Chevron Oil Company in the South. As all countries, the Sudan also has its local foods. A very popular one is Molokhia which grows only in summer. Bamia, in Arabic, lady's fingers or internationally known as Okra can be readily found all year round. Bamia Mafroukeh is a delicious food eaten with the Sudanese bread called Kisra. The term Mafroukeh is act of breaking down the bamia when it well cooked to turn it into a thick, soup. There is special wooden utensil the Sudanese use. Ingredients: - 1 kg bamia Lady's fingers or Okra. - 1 kg beef or lamb bone free. - 1/2 kg fresh tomatoes cut in quarters. - 1 big onion roughly cut. - 6 cloves of garlic finely cut. -
