pita bread made by one of my favourite spots, lawrence of arabia... of shops of maraval. though pita bread wasn't on my scientifically calculated google map of a grocery list, i couldn't resist bringing it home.
and with a classic line like this one, how could i put this down?
like the pack says, it is soft and tasty. and it tasted good out of the pack. i was curious about that considering it wasn't in any sort of chiller-like unit. it was just out there chillin' with the kiss loafs and such. anyway, it didn't have that powdery taste you get from some of the frozen ones. and though the sizes in the bag varied from piece to piece, the pieces were of a decent size.
luckily for me, the lawrance pita was just right to deal with the after supermarket hunger. quick and easy, taste good... not too much to clean up. to me that meant slap two pieces of smoked ham on there, grate some cheese, then throw on some ketchup, chow chow and pepper.
wrapped it and placed it in this. what is this? hmm.
de george forman. real handy piece of equipment.
about 3 minutes later, i had this hot, crispy wrap. not bad at all. i want to use it with a stew something or a curry sometime and just dip it like a sada roti. until that though, this wrap will do. who say seconds?
she got some shrimp and scallops at pricesmart (they've gone green by the way, so they don't give out bags any more. you have to buy this re-usable blue bag which costs like $27 for four or something like that. or cary your own bags. or take the gamble and see if you get a box from them.)
seasoned them up with some lime juice, a little green seasoning, salt, black pepper and such. while they sat in the seasoning, she prepared a little batter station.
she cracked an egg in a bowl.
beat it up like it owed her money.
added some milk, and that was one stop.
next, she seasoned up some flour with paprika...
black pepper...
the all purpose...
garlic powder...
and some salt.
tortilla chips, inspired by dawi in a moment of culinary genius a while back,
and corn flakes.
she crushed them both, mixed them up in a bowl and placed the mixture in the line up.
let the coating begin! she started by dipping the pieces in the flour first...
then into the egg mixture...
and finally into the cornflakes and tortilla chips.
it was now time to whip out a gadget that i swore would not come out until the sentence "ah would hail yuh in a lil bit. ah now headin' to de gym." came back into my daily conversations. since it did, it was safe. bring out de deep fryer!!
she put the pieces into the basket,
then down into the oil for just a little bit. the shrimp was already cooked, and seafood doesn't take long to cook in general.
when they came out they were crispy, golden brown and ready.
now to build the sandwiches. she took out some iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mayo.
for her sandwich, she went with her favourite: oven classics country loaf with cornmeal.
her triple decker seafood sandwich looked inviting.
i requested garlic bread from the bakery, which made the mayo redundant. so she left it out for me, but added a slight touch of mustard and a little pepper.
