Experiments with food

Dinner menu, Saturday: Pita, with a Mexican twist.

Ingredients: corn, white onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, medium spicy salsa, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, pita bread and hummus.

• Slightly sautéed the onions, bell peppers and corn
• Heated the pita bread mildly, just until it becomes a little soft
• Placed the pita on a proportionate piece of Aluminium foil, and spread some hummus on one side of the pita
• Laid out a small portion of the sautéed vegetables towards the centre of the pita
• Added a big spoonful of the cooked black beans on top of the vegetables
• Sprinkled a little cheddar on top
• And finally, added a couple of spoons of spicy salsa on top

Now, fold/roll the pita so that it looks like a Taco/Pita…and BITE in!

I personally ate 3 of those! Heaven…  :-)

Zombieland

Barely scary, this movie is outrageously hilarious, even if not intended in some places…. but then maybe it is intended and I actually got the joke… that is besides the point.

This movie reminded me of Shaun of the Dead.. starring Simon Pegg… boy! that was a gut buster.

Finally a different zombie movie, which is not necessarily about gore… in fact for the most part it is not… of course there are a couple scenes that involve some scattered flesh, and a few with blood spatters and such… but then, after all, it is a zombie movie.

Woody Harrelson is his usual silly self.. and the other skinny dude is just awesome!

Donut Friar, Gatlinburg

I have been going to Gatlinburg atleast once a year on average, and only this year did I actually get the time to stroll through downtown leisurely and explore all the shops around there.

Before even going there we looked up some must-see places, and among the list was the Donut Friar. This is run by a charming old lady, who knows everything there is to know about donuts (or is it doughnuts?)

If you like Crispy Creme, or better yet Dunkin, just imagine the perfect doughnut melting in your mouth as soon as the piece hits the space between your palette and tongue.

mmmmmmmmmmm…. heaven! 

So next time, if you are driving by or visiting Gatlinburg, check out this little shop… It is located inside a shopping arcade called “The Village“.  Actually even if you are not a big fan of doughnuts, just take a stroll through The Village, for the construction resembles medieval European style buildings. (brick walkways, conical domes for buildings and such..)
