Tomorrow is "Ferragosto"

Pandora · 2005-08-14T06:46:43+00:00

Tomorrow is feast of the Assumption. Here in Italy we don't work. All the people meet friends and organize BBQ (generally fish), picnic, and big "magnate" (translation from the roman language:blowouts). During the night is easy to look at fireworks that almost every country organize. Do you celebrate this feast in America? Tomorrow we have a guest and I'm thinking for a possible menu. Appetizer: Caipiriña with limes with olives and other things. Entrèe: vol-au-vents filled with chicken salad; roulade of smoked ham filled with robiola cheese; little flans of carrots. First meal: Spaghetti alla chitarra (on the guitar) seasoned with "Amatriciana" sauce; or "Pennette alla vodka" (little pens). Second meal: "Saltimbocca alla romana" (Angels food; YUM AND GNAM!). This dish, which take part of the roman tradition, consist in slices of veil meat. over the slice of veil you put a slice of ham and over the slice of ham you put a leave of sage. All is kept firm with a toothbrush, sorry I meant toothpick 🙂)))) Then you flour the so prepared slices and cook them for some minutes in olive oil. Side dish: roasted potatoes and green salad. Dessert. Ice cream Coffee Bitter Bicarbonate of soda 🙂))) Cheers Pandora

AFAIK, only Catholics do, and it's low key. People usually don't take
the day off from work.

Yes, this is one of my favorites! I have to say the best I've had was
in a restaurant, now closed 🙁 in my hometown. Maybe it seemed so
good because it was the first time ;> Also, they served it with
spinach (sauteed with garlic), which always wins my favor.

The various organizations from the Catholic Church down the street had
a big fiesta in the public plaza today. All sorts of typical Honduran
foods for sale -pollo or carne asada, pupusas, enhiladas, frijoles
refritos, etc. Tomorrow is just a normal work day...but it will
probably start with a bang - the locals are fond of setting off
firecrackers and aerial bombs in celebration of religious holidays.

Hey, that reminds me: At the unfamiliar grocery store where I bought skirt
steak last night, I also saw a package of pork labeled as "pork for carne
asada." It was cut into bacon-like strips. To *me* the term "carne asada"
means a marinated beef steak grilled whole and then cut into strips. Has
anybody else run across these "carne asada" pork strips? I suppose you
could make decent fajitas from them, but why call them "carne asada"? Why
not call them "pork for mille feuille", or "pork alfredo strips"? :-)

Carne asada means 'grilled/roasted beef'. I think they're jerking your
chain here, labelwise. I'd complain to the manager.

I wouldn't call it "mille feuille" because it doesn't have 1000 layers.
I wouldn't call it "alfredo" because it doesn't have heavy cream.

Do you celebrate this feast in America?
Tomorrow we have a guest and I'm thinking for a possible menu.
The various organizations from the Catholic Church down the street had
a big fiesta in the public plaza today. All sorts of typical Honduran
foods for sale -pollo or carne asada, pupusas, enhiladas, frijoles
refritos, etc. Tomorrow is just a normal work day...but it will
probably start with a bang - the locals are fond of setting off
firecrackers and aerial bombs in celebration of religious holidays.

Hey, that reminds me: At the unfamiliar grocery store where I bought skirt
steak last night, I also saw a package of pork labeled as "pork for carne
asada." It was cut into bacon-like strips. To *me* the term "carne asada"
means a marinated beef steak grilled whole and then cut into strips. Has
anybody else run across these "carne asada" pork strips? I suppose you
could make decent fajitas from them, but why call them "carne asada"? Why
not call them "pork for mille feuille", or "pork alfredo strips"? :-)
Bob
Nope, at least not here in my little burg in Honduras. Pork is
generally referred to as lomo de cerdo (pork loin roast) or chuleta de
cerdo (pork chops). It's never seen cut in strips for carne asada or
fajitas. Here, carne asada is beef, pollo asada is chicken (usally a
whole roast chicken), grilled/panfried unbreaded chicken breasts are
pollo a la plancha. Fajitas are fajitas de res or fajitas de pollo
(beef or chicken fajitas).

Sandi, do you have a website that gives a little about your life in
Honduras? I emailed for about a year with a woman who lived in Mexico in a
small mountainous town who sent me (and her other friends) a picture of her
daily life now and then. She had only her social security to live on and
she said that she could live meagerly, but well, in Mexico, but would be
out-of-luck here in the U.S. She had survived breast cancer, and her son
flew her to the US once a year for her exams. P.S. She lost a lot of weight
and looked beautiful on her 70th birthday; she said she ate tuna often!

Sorry, I don't swing that way ("Tammy" is a female name, in case you
don't know). Not that there's anything wrong with it. ;>
Ohh ! I thought Tammy=Tommy = macho 🙂)))
Ohh! I'm sorry for you: the bed is always the same 🙁(
