Dos pates

[lsanderson]

Fava bean pate and chicken liver -- not the liver mousse I usually make, but a semi-kosher pate -- are sitting in the fridge. Da liver pate is fresh outta the oven. First time I've ever used my pate pan, which I bought on sale at Williams-Sonoma twenty years ago for $3.99 (before an employee discount). I've a few Brussels sprouts I'm dragging with, along with bread, olives, and veggies. Have yet to determine if I'm as low on sesame seeds as I remember -- Bill's was out yesterday. I found the parsley that I forgot to put into the liver pate. (It's traditional to forget the parsley.) I should be downstairs cleaning the green onions, cucumber and red pepper that are going along for the ride. I did not line the bottom of the pate pan with laurel bay leaves, but I did forget to yank the one in with the veggies before I whirled them in the food processor. I hadta use store bought thyme since Thong stripped the garden bare. The fava beans tasted incredibly sweet before I tossed in the chipotle and lime juice.

Never grew Brussels sprouts as a youngin? Damn!

They didn't teach history either? They ustta be popular as a winter veggie, because you can dig up the stalk and they'll keep producing sprouts until the root is exhausted. ;-)

If you think they're funny, wait until you see a jackfruit tree...
