Peeps,
So, about that new President ... yesterday on NPR they were talking to
various Austin people about GWB's personal tastes in foods, etc. - kind of
like how Clinton was famous for liking hamburgers. One thing they mentioned
in a restaurant interview was a habanero-lemon sauce.
Hmmm. That thought dogged me all day, so on the way home I got a four or
five fresh habs. I stemmed and seeded them, and cut them into little
shreddy strips. I froze these in a small steel bowl. I juiced two lemons
and two little clementine oranges, added about 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and
half of a _small_ onion, run through a garlic press.
I took the habs out of the freezer, looking all frosty ("Hello, Birdseye
customer suggestion line...") and mixed these into the juice with one of
those immersion-type "outboard motor" wand mixers. It made a little more
than could fit in a standard woozy bottle.
I haven't tasted it yet. I was afraid to taste it this morning, knowing
that my coffee would taste like gasoline for 30 minutes afterward if I did.
But someday you'll see, I'll be brave enough to dip a shrimp in it ... my
mind wanders off to tonight's dinner ... then I need to come up with a name
for this.
- A
