Taking yet another queue from my good friend Mario, we have here a sort of "italian" french toast. A bufalo mozzarella sandwich is dipped in an egg/milk batter with thyme and nutmeg.
Serve with leftover yellow tomato/yellow pepper soup.

10/08/07 smoked salmon with brown rice and a poached egg
This was a totally improvised recipe based on something similar (though not as good) I had at a tea house. I got the brown rice in my CSA box as a "substitute" because of their problems filling boxes with the normal mix of veg - all caused by a quarantine on tomatoes/peppers/similar fruits in the Dixon, CA area to contain a Mediterranean Fruit Fly infestation. Massa Organics grows rice in the Sacramento delta and is a friend/neighbor of Eatwell Farms.
What to do with brown rice? It takes forever to cook (a whole hour) and I personally believe it needs lots of soy sauce to make it worthwhile. Here I composed a dish of four parts:
- smoked salmon from the farmers' market
- brown rice seasoned with plenty of soy sauce
- carrots stir fried in sesame oil with a little bit of ginger and chile powder, plus sesame seeds
- a poached egg

"That's a roast chicken, numbnuts! And if you can't properly roast a damn chicken then you are one helpless, hopeless, sorry-ass bivalve in an apron. Take that apron off, wrap it around your neck and hang yourself. You do not deserve to wear the proud garment of generations of hardworking, dedicated cooks. Turn in those clogs, too." -A. Bourdain
