I noticed you used tamarind paste in your chutney-----a really nice touch.

In those pricey Puerto Vallarta Resorts in Mexico, they make an unusual tamarind margarita.

Tamarind Margarita
Use your fave margarita method with these ingredients:
» 2 oz Aged Tequila » 1 ½ oz Cointreau
» 3 oz Tamarind Concentrate (sold in specialty stores)
» ½ oz Natural Sweet Syrup » Drops of lemon juice

That looks delicious! Tamarind is really sour. And salty.

Tamarind is used a lot in Thai cooking.

A storied Paris restaurant makes a classic Thai “Larb Duck” dish using tamarind.

It makes all the difference.

I have not had a hot brown in forever! When I was young I would order one sometimes at Dino’s in Cincinnati. One of the most delicious things ever!

The legendary Kentucky Hot Brown created at The Camberley Brown Hotel, Louisville:
turkey slices on buttered/toasted bread triangles, lavished w/ Mornay Sauce, broiled;
then bacon strips on top, and tomato wedges on the side.

This is Jacques Pepin's dish from his TV show. Named after a town in Provence.
Nice for Lent. Not just macaroni and cheese. Can do-ahead.

Macaroni Beaucaire
NOTE Jacques baked the eggplant 30 min (a lot healthier). On silpat lined sheetpan, he placed s/p eggplant slices--then turned to coat both sides in olive oil. Method is better, but adds prep time.

ELBOWS Set 3/4 c salted elbow cooking liquid in bowl; add 1/4 c ol/oil, 3 tbl Parm, s/p; mix well. Add 8 oz drained al dente elbows, 1/4 c minced chives.

ASSEMBLY Layer in oblong gratin; eggplant, ripe tomato slices to cover bottom; elbows in dressing; top w/ alternate eggplant/tomato slices; cup shredded cheddar (or fave cheese). (Can do ahead to here; fridge.) Set on counter 25-30 min before baking.

FINAL Bake/heat/melt cheese 400 deg 20 min. Serve immediately.

Be careful....they are addictive. I have not had one in decades & am surprised that restaurants don’t make them.

That sounds great. I’m always looking for new ways to use eggplant.

The combined dish is delightfully French....and endorsed by Jacques.

Nothing better.

I pretty much like ANYTHING lemon! I even have kitchen lemon foaming hand soap from Bath and Body Works. :o)

Yes. Funny. The restauranteur I stole that easy tomato sauce from 2 weeks ago had almost the same recipe for his easy non cooked tomato sauce, which I have made again tonight for meatballs. And as I was cooking the meatballs, and my big Pyrex of Tom sauce was just sitting there, I kept sipping spoons of it like soup. Great idea. I am starting to stock these Marzanos in cans now.

There is an old but better done than new collection of library dinosaur books sold used in library bindings on amazon. We have collected about 12 of these thin volumes for mere dollars. My daughter loves them.

People around here would love this. It looks better than garlic bread.

Would need to keep that broom handy for after the meal.

I kind of assumed Vincent Price was gay. I mean, of course he cold still have been, even with the wife. Didn’t Paul Lynde also have a wife?
