A little walk

As I commented previously, last week was a quite busy week

It was my husband’s youngest brother wedding. It has been a

pretty happy moment for all us. My mother came mainly for the wedding and we had the opportunity to chat a lot and go for a walk a little also

This time I took her to the Chinese neighbourhood; it is not very big if compared at another Chinatowns that I know. They are only 4 or 5 blocks in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Belgrano, it is, at least until where know, the place that can buy Thai coconut milk, that is better than other and I have used in recipes. There the fish is pretty fresh, as well as the papayas, litchis, green vegetables, and many spices. It is in the groceries of the Chinese neighborhood I discover infinity of flours. I bought one, corn extra fine flour that calls Semite of corn and algarroba flour, an excellent substitute for the chocolate. Not I resisted and I bought rice moti, basmati and sushi. rice I also bought kombu and Nori, because I like to prepare sushi in summer.

In another supermarket I found ducks and I finished it to bring, I prepared with the classic French recipe, Canard à l’orange, later will publish the recipe.

Then we were to take lunch in Puerto Madero in La Paraloccia casa tua An Italian restaurant right prices and good food. I order a padded chicken with ham and gruyere and steam vegetables. The sauce was delicious, but the chicken was poor in flavor, my mother's requested gnoqui that was already fantastic. And I wondering that the strong of the restaurant are pastas.

The desserts are big and they can be divided, my mother requested strawberries with zabaglione sauce with meringues wrapped in a vanilla tuille. My husband doesn't leave the chocolate mousse, as always, of course.

We accompany the food with a Lurton Pinot Grigio a fresh and flavorful wine. And the week passed whit happiness and party. With sadness everything returned to the routine on Monday. My mother comes back on Sunday and I already miss her.
