FINGER FOOD WITH FINGERS NEW
CAPITAL KITCHEN WITH JULIA AND STEPHANIE NEW
Dear Yulya (Chadstone Laser, Skin & Wellness Clinic Melbourne) thank you so much for yesterday breakfast with Stephanie (she is a very special girl as i saw her eyes - it's a tropical ocean). I really treasure our moments together. I feel good next to you and I always learn something new... I thought: this breakfast is impossible to repeat and I tried with my home-made version of it - today - not even close... you see what you have done to me? :) At Capital Kitchen - Stephanie had banana bread soft on the inside with yummy crispy crust - it goes with maple mascarpone on the side; Julia and I had avocado with St Maure goats cheese, poached eggs on on sourdough rye toast and rocket salad (if i am not mistaken) - some amazing kitchen there... and there is only one best place for coffees at Chadstone: Jasper Coffee Caffeine Dealers. Julia was our Club's very supportive sponsor many times in the past but still she throws in one or two very nice specials and giveaways for our Club from time to time... I am very grateful for Julia's generosity...

this home made spread I called
WE ARE ORCHIDS TOO
~need
a couple of slices of grilled dark russian rye bread (borodinski type)
~for spread blend:
raw oyster mushrooms
olive oil
1 small hot chili
ricotta cheese
no salt salt (herbs)
~decorated
with young garlic sprouts and purple and white violets (that look like miniature orchids... - actually it's them, the violets who told me that they are very similar to chickens who are in reality some kind of ancient dinosaurs (watch their feet covered with scales!) that in order to keep warm hid in dens and holes and grew out feathers during the ice age... when the global weather changed to a warmer climate chickens started living in trees - this is when some very smart humans noticed them and started collecting their eggs that were falling down from trees like mangoes and coconuts... at this point Sergey will tell me that I smoked too much of VEDAS and started making my own stories... and he will be right ... and we are talking about open sandwiches anyway)

I continue experimenting with pestos/spreads...
My today's Turkish coffee snack:

ancient grains organic rye bread with ashur roasted seeds grill toasted
topped with home made almond / back yard continental parsley /garlic young shoots / capsicum and parmesan cheese (all blended into a knife spread acceptable paste) plus a fine layer of anchovy creama to top it up
the other piece of bread is topped up with
organic quark (the quark cow says: "prepared with herbs and spices"): dill, onion, garlic, bell peppers, chilli flakes
all decorated with white azalea flowers and burgundy flowers of european mint
i called this dish:

our last night dinner for three: Serezha's cabbage salad cooking... music on the background is OMAR AKRAM (Afghanistan). The salad is called
The East is a Very Delicate Thing, Petrukha (VOSTOK DELO TONKOE, PETRUKHA!)
or DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER Eastern Style
to celebrate Sergey's very successful theater performance as a main character, Bernard in Elena Mikhajlova's new play "Happy Family or French Side Dish" that has taken place in Melbourne August 3-4. The play will be touring Australia's main cities pretty soon. The photos are uploaded below as part of our Cooking page (sorry we have not organised a page devoted to theater yet... so suffocating indeed)
Need:
1/2 medium size crispy fresh white cabbage
1/2 of orange and 1/2 of purple carrots
1/2 red onion
lightly roasted pistachios (big man's handful)
cranberries (can be dry ones and a handful of above mentioned man)
thyme and marjoram fresh green soft leaves (1/5 of a cup)
olive oil infused with basil leaves (just a tiny splash)
white vinegar (just a splashy-splash)
red wine vinegar (just a tiny splashy-splash)
pink rock salt and black peppercorns (to taste)
1/2 large red capsicum
half of lime - juice and pulp
secret eastern spices
Sergey loving hands and skills
lots of talking over salad while it is getting ready (no talking about the salad itself - just random things. example: acting...)
two other nice helpers around
Time: too long to wait... well to be exact: approximately around 45min
Do:
cut-chop-shred-d-d-d-d-d-d everything as thin as possible, toss and mix with love
pretend to listen to the music with full attention
serve with well done beef happy side up
Result: so healthy and freaking delicious!
