One of my favorite new snacks. It's the perfect blend of salty sweet crunchy, the consistancy is sort of like a caramel corn flavor cheeto. So delish. And the packaging is hilariously cute. The best flavor is the almond caramel corn but it seems that they have a million more flavors in Japan. What does the one that looks like Santa Claus taste like?
I decided that on my list of things to do in the new year, I would attempt to make some bread from scratch. Weekends spent watching my Dad make bread while I was growing up are some of my fondest memories. Sometimes I would "help" by punching down the big ball of puffy risen dough or by taste-testing a new loaf hot out of the oven. Out of nostalgia for those times and for the many years I spent working in a bakery famous for it's sourdough, I decided, I too, would make sourdough!Tonight I am making a cheaters version of ceviche. This a bit of an experiment so we'll see how it goes. Frozen cooked shrimp is way cheaper that fresh ($6.99/lb) so hopefully it is a success.
I used a pound of pre-cooked frozen shrimp from Wholefoods. And then I added the juice of four lemons, one jalapeño and one serrano pepper, one large shallot finely chopped, a couple cloves of garlic diced and some salt and pepper. Left to marinate in the fridge for a few hours.
I plan on serving it with warm corn tortillas, sliced avocados and mangoes and cilantro.
And it was good.
We added some mixed greens and tomato slices to the plate. Yumm. We'll make this one again.
