Brunch anyone?
I made a gazpacho for a side "soup" , I think I made it a bit too strong on the onion side. I meant for it to be more light and refreshing since I have been sending out some heavy bentos lately. Anyhow, definite graded a B on this one. I need to work on some taste technique and some better judgment when I read a recipe.
Last but not least the inspiration for the bento. Honestly I'm not a desert fiend, but I find myself composing menus based off desert. Although, a bit labor intensive, I think in the end worth it. Crepes I've done, but putting together a blintz especially as a side desert turns out to be pretty labor intensive. Reports from the field say it was very yummy. I think the "slight" sweetness of pumpkin really dropped the sugar and fat content of a normal blintz and was a wonderful change for a seasonal dish. I think in the great arsenal of bentos recipes this has to be a special occasion recipe. I can't pre-prep, I can't freeze it for re-use and it's labor intensive.
Anyhow, I hope anyone that is actually watching enjoys the post. I promise more posts later.
