67. feta cheese and spinach

This one is sort of obvious when you think of spanikopita and other Mediterranean dishes, but the brilliance of it was really put into perspective for me the other day, when I was scrounging around in my fridge for a snack and put a bit of feta on a spinach leaf and rolled it up. Only those two ingredients, and it tasted fantastic.

70. tomatoes and black pepper

i can't even touch a tomato without pepper. in fact, we never had black pepper in our house growing up, and i HATED tomatoes (raw). then i left home and discovered the joy that is these two flavours together.

People in my family give me grief about putting pepper as well as salt on my tomato sandwiches, but it makes perfect sense to me.

DAN P3RRY MAD AT GRANDMA (just1n3), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:36 (fourteen years ago) link

i used to never put pepper on anything. don't know why! but i love tomatoes, even w/o pepper

harbl, Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:37 (fourteen years ago) link

pepper and tomatoes together is like a cornerstone of italian food, hence there should be laws preventing any kind of dissent towards it

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:38 (fourteen years ago) link

but it's cool if you have tomatoes w/o pepper, just don't shove it down our throats 'k

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:38 (fourteen years ago) link

i like to just eat them. i wouldn't shove plain tomatoes down anyone's throat though.

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:43 (fourteen years ago) link

i just cannot get into mushrooms. they smell so amazing when they're frying but they taste like dirt. a bit like lamb's fry, really.

DAN P3RRY MAD AT GRANDMA (just1n3), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:44 (fourteen years ago) link

when i were a nipper i loathed both mushrooms and tomatoes but YEA HALLELUJAH glory is made manifest nowadays - and have chanterelles before you say definitively that you hate mushrooms

anyway you're like the pickiest eater ever :P

dyao know what i mean (acoleuthic), Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:49 (fourteen years ago) link

Thank you! I will be doing an appetizer of pickled peppadews stuffed with cold smoked chorizo and manchego soon. Not sure if I want to grind in the manchego with the chorizo or just broil on top. But I will find out.

Looking to rock a cherry/cardamom ice cream. Thoughts? It seems like it would work and have checked online -- there are recipes for cherry/cardamom scones, cookies and muffins. Anybody messed with this combo before?
